Introducing Haddlesey House, a remarkable unlisted manor characterized by its historical significance and architectural charm. Spanning approximately 5,700 square feet, this estate presents a unique opportunity to invest in a property rich with period details while allowing for the freedom to renovate without the constraints typically found in listed buildings.
Set within two-thirds of an acre of landscaped grounds that include mature gardens and a picturesque pond, the south-facing home features six generously sized double bedrooms. A gated circular driveway leads to ample off-street parking with a double garage.
The internal layout is expansive and versatile, showcasing both original and modern elements. The historic part of the house includes a large kitchen, self-contained living wing featuring additional sitting room, two bedrooms, bathroom, and an attic room ideal for diverse uses such as an art studio or additional bedroom. The main section of the house boasts grand rooms formed from additions dating back to 1805, including a striking ballroom and a spacious reception hall accentuated by an elegant three-quarter stone staircase.
Additionally, you'll find delightful spaces such as a formal dining area and a snug alongside a bright orangery that enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
On the upper floor, four substantial bedrooms await residents or guests, including two with ensuite facilities and an ample family bathroom. This space reflects both comfort and historic allure.
Haddlesey House's storied past adds to its charm—having once been the residence of notable musician Bill Nelson in the 1980s and previously visited by Cromwell's troops. Its artistic history is subtly hinted at through features like the former recording studio above the kitchen and intricate stained glass windows.
While well-maintained over time, there remains potential for modernization throughout—most notably updating the kitchen layout and perhaps addressing electrical systems—to align this grand residence more closely with contemporary lifestyles. This offers an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to infuse their personal touch into this splendid home while enjoying its historical legacy.
The property also benefits from efficient heating via a biomass boiler system along with dedicated leisure spaces including a library/drawing room and multi-functional entertainment areas.
