Description

Nestled behind electronic cast iron gates, this remarkable Grade II* listed late medieval hall house presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Dating back to the 15th century and set on a sprawling ten-acre plot, the property combines historical charm with the potential for modern enhancements. With extensive grounds featuring landscaped gardens, mature trees, and an array of outdoor amenities, this residence is primed for those looking to make their mark. The main house has undergone thoughtful renovations that carefully preserve its period features while introducing improvements that elevate its functionality. The layout provides spacious living accommodations spread across two levels, complemented by a self-contained barn conversion that holds additional possibilities for guests or rental income. The entrance welcomes you into a grand reception hall with an impressive staircase, leading to expansive reception rooms that maintain a sense of grandeur. Notably, the sitting room is highlighted by a traditional Inglenook fireplace, while the dining area opens onto a south-facing outdoor seating space. The kitchen boasts contemporary design elements with high-end fittings from Martin Moore, including granite work surfaces and top-of-the-line appliances such as Miele and Sub Zero. A vaulted ceiling adds an airy feel to the space, and it seamlessly connects to a light-filled conservatory that overlooks the gardens. Additional utility spaces and versatile rooms offer adaptable uses depending on your needs. Upstairs, the master suite features generous proportions with a vaulted ceiling and an en suite bathroom, along with three other well-appointed bedrooms, providing ample accommodation options. The guest suite in the converted stables enhances flexibility for families or visitors. This area could also serve as a potential rental unit given its separate access. Outdoor facilities include an impressive swimming pool complex designed for leisure and entertaining. The pool itself is heated and includes polished granite finishes surrounding ample seating areas and an air-conditioned pool house equipped with gym facilities—ideal for personal use or event hosting. Beyond recreational offerings are extensive outbuildings currently utilized for storage but ripe for renovation into bespoke spaces tailored to your vision—subject to necessary permissions. The property's private water supply system further adds to its appeal by offering independence from municipal services. Situated in a desirable location combining seclusion with accessibility, this property represents not just a home but also an investment opportunity ripe for development or personal customization. Whether looking to create a family sanctuary or broaden your investment portfolio, this historic yet adaptable estate invites you to envision its next chapter.
