“Living in The Manor has given me a quality of life I could never have had living alone in a large house. I enjoy a closeness with my family every day, while still having the freedom to choose exactly how I live my life.”
Sally Davies
A home surrounded by nature
Set within a wonderful garden, The Manor feels more like a private retreat than an annexe. The natural timber-clad exterior sits beautifully amongst the established trees and planting, creating a peaceful setting that changes with the seasons.
Large French doors open the home to the garden, blurring the line between inside and out and providing a wonderful connection to the natural surroundings that Sally enjoys every day.
A space inspired by creativity
As a former headteacher recognised for her outstanding contribution to education, Sally has spent a lifetime inspiring others, and her home reflects that same creativity and curiosity.
Inside, The Manor is filled with artwork, books and treasured collections, while a dedicated studio space provides the perfect environment for creative projects.
The striking navy kitchen, warm colour palette and thoughtfully chosen furnishings give the annexe a distinctive character, creating a home that is both practical and uniquely personal.
Family life just a garden away
Although Sally and her daughter Hannah have always shared a close bond, living just steps apart has brought a new level of connection to everyday life. Family moments happen naturally, whether it’s popping round for a chat, spending time together in the garden or making memories with Hannah’s growing family.
The arrangement offers the best of both worlds: complete independence in a home of her own, alongside the comfort and companionship that comes from having loved ones close by.
