Description
Old Hall is a magnificent Grade II Listed property, with a rich history, set in the small community of Brandon between Lincoln and Grantham. Dating originally from the 16th century, with later additions, the handsome property feature almost 5,000 square feet of accommodation, including six/seven bedrooms and five reception rooms, as well as a self contained annexe providing further useful accommodation.
The house displays wonderful light and dark gold ironstone brickwork elevations to the front, incorporating bands of blue lias and limestone, making for a thoroughly attractive and striking appearance, while the interiors display similarly enchanting period detailing throughout.
The ground floor has a highly atmospheric drawing room and formal dining room to the front, with evocative period features including exposed brickwork, original limestone fireplaces and heavy timber beams to the ceilings. To the rear of the ground floor, the equally impressive garden room has a vaulted ceiling with timber beams, and doors opening onto the rear garden and courtyards. There is also a useful office, a sitting room and a beautiful timber-panelled butler's pantry, while the kitchen and breakfast room has attractive wooden units, granite worktops, a central island and a range cooker.
The first floor has three generous double bedrooms, including the grand principal bedroom, which has a triple aspect. There are four bathrooms or shower rooms on the first floor, as well as a gallery overlooking the stunning garden room. The second floor has a further three comfortable double bedrooms, as well as a further bathroom.
The annexe provides useful further accommodation, with a sitting area and fully equipped kitchen on the ground floor, as well as a double bedroom en suite on the first floor.
Outside
