House For Sale £1,325,000
Cropton Hall is a stunning Grade II* Listed period property thought to have originally been built in 1598 with later 18th Century Queen Anne and Early Georgian additions, as a hunting lodge for the Heydon Estate. Built of red brick elevations with Dutch gables under pantile roof and with octagonal columned chimney stacks, the property has been lovingly restored to create family friendly accommodation by the current and only second owners of this remarkable house. Inside there are some lovely rooms, including a grand entrance hall which is a welcoming multifunctional space with seating area in front of a magnificent fire place, dining area beneath a wide sweeping staircase and links through to the rest of the house. Double doors open into a large drawing room with central open fireplace flanked by windows overlooking the parterre garden to the south. The kitchen breakfast room is light and well formed with sleek shaker style units beneath composite work surfaces, bespoke pantry cupboards, oil fired Aga, Smeg appliances and stone floor. Adjacent to the kitchen is a snug with wood burning stove which also doubles up as a comfortable home office. At the rear of the property is a spacious rear hall with utility room and guest WC.
