Impressive country house in a tucked away setting requiring complete renovation. Traditional range of outbuildings and a derelict cottage available by separate negotiation.
LOT 1 The Hall
Grade II Listed, the hall is believed to date back to the 17th
century, formerly a manor house and remodelled in the early 19th century. The accommodation briefly comprises double panel front doors with fan light which opens into an impressive
reception hall with an elegant curving staircase to the first floor
and side hallways. The south facing reception rooms feature
high ceilings, French windows, open fireplaces, deep skirting
boards and various alcoves. The side hall has a door to the cellar, a further outside door with fan light and access to various store rooms. The kitchen and service rooms are to the rear of the house with some exposed timbers and brick floors.
FIRST FLOOR
The main landing has a central glass domed cupola over the
staircase and an inner landing running the full length of the
house which gives access to ten bedrooms and a bathroom with
original features throughout.
SECOND FLOOR
The second floor is accessed via two staircases positioned on
either end of the inner landing and which both lead to separate
attic rooms.
OUTSIDE
The Hall is approached over a curving drive, which passes the
church and a horse meadow with field shelter. To the front of the house is a turning circle. A path leads round the side to wooded gardens and access to an integral garage and store. There is an old chicken house and the grounds have several large ponds. To the rear is a brick outbuilding and an old stable building. Beyond the larger pond is a further area of wooded grounds and various paddock areas. About 8.75 acres

The purchaser will be obliged to reimburse the vendors the cost of the survey on completion (£1,250 + VAT). The surveyors will then assign the survey to the new owner along with their duty of care.
