An outstanding Grade II listed house with seven bedrooms, beautiful original details and enchanting gardens, in the village of Knaith.
Knaith Hall is a magnificent Grade II listed manor house offering extensive accommodation and a wealth of distinctive period character. Set in an idyllic rural position beside the River Trent, the house dates from around 1600 and has been extended and adapted over time to create a striking and elegant home. The property combines attractive brick and rendered elevations and retains many original details throughout, while enjoying a wonderful sense of privacy and connection to its surroundings.
The principal reception room is the drawing room, accessed directly from the main reception hall. This is a large and impressive space, beautifully lit by distinctive large diamond shaped windows to the front and rear, which are a particularly notable architectural feature of the house. Arched French doors, with a decorative crescent shaped window above, further enhance the sense of light and proportion, making this an exceptional room for both entertaining and everyday living.
In addition, there is a comfortable sitting room, which provides a more relaxed atmosphere and features a log burner as a focal point. Further ground floor reception rooms include a private home office and a grand formal dining room, with Doric style columns framing its entrance and lining the walls, creating a suitably impressive setting for formal occasions.
The ground floor also includes a well equipped kitchen fitted with farm house style painted wooden units, wooden worktops, a split butler sink and an Aga. A range of adjoining practical spaces includes a laundry room, boot room, stores and a cellar, offering excellent storage and everyday functionality.
Two staircases lead to the first floor, where there are seven welll presented bedrooms and a study, most enjoying west facing aspects. The generous principal bedroom benefits from a superb south facing outlook, along with a dressing room and a spacious en suite bathroom featuring a rolltop bath. The first floor also provides two further family bathrooms.
Knaith Hall is set within attractive gardens and grounds extending to approximately 7.61 acres. The treelined driveway approaches the property via the church and leads directly to the front door, creating an appealing and understated arrival. The gardens include sweeping lawns, seasonal flower meadows and a wide variety of mature trees, along with more formal ornamental gardens featuring clipped hedgerows and a patio seating area ideal for al fresco dining. A hard tennis court is also positioned within the grounds.
In addition to the main house, the property includes a separate two bedroom Stable Cottage together with a stable block, offering valuable ancillary accommodation and potential for a range of uses, subject to any necessary consents.
