Description

This distinctive Grade II listed hall, steeped in history and charm, is nestled within approximately five acres of picturesque countryside. Having been cherished by the same family for over a century, this property showcases elements dating back to 1674, including ornate features and character-rich architecture that define its historical significance. The main residence offers ample space with five bedrooms, providing an excellent canvas for modern enhancements while honoring its historical charm. The expansive entrance hall welcomes you with traditional wood cladding and leads into a generous living room characterized by intricate cornicing and a multi-fuel stove set within an ornate fireplace. Large mullion windows fill the room with natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to the living area is a kitchen ripe for renovation. It has existing wall and base units and sufficient space for modern appliances, allowing for customization that will cater to contemporary needs. Nearby, the dining room features another striking fireplace and an abundance of natural light from multiple windows, making it a beautiful setting for family gatherings or entertaining guests. The additional lounge provides further flexibility with built-in cupboards and a stone-flagged floor—ideal for transformation into a cozy den or study. The utility room also presents options for reimagining space usage. On the first floor, two separate staircases lead to five bedrooms that offer potential for reconfiguration or modernization. Each bedroom boasts window views that frame the surrounding landscape. The presence of both shower rooms and classic bathrooms adds convenience while leaving room for upgrades tailored to personal taste. An expansive attic accessible from the second landing provides exciting opportunities for expansion—whether as extra living space or storage. Outside, the property is approached via a gated driveway leading through beautifully landscaped grounds. The expansive land includes various outbuildings, including stone barns rumored to be of significant age—their potential development could enhance the property's value even further with appropriate planning permissions. With direct access to scenic walking trails and located in a sought-after village known for its excellent commuting links and local amenities, this property not only offers a unique living experience but also significant investment potential. This hall is ready to be transformed into a remarkable home while retaining its rich heritage—a rare opportunity not to be overlooked.
