History
The manor was owned and resided in for over 400 years by the Culpepper family who were renowned for their prestigious royal connections. More recently in the early 20th century the manor was utilised as a serviceman’s hospital. Its most notable resident was the author George Orwell who is reputed to have spent time recuperating within the hospital wing that forms this very apartment.
The manor house was converted around 2014/2015 to provide exquisite high calibre apartments and mews houses that were designed to appeal to a very select market place. Although varied in their internal layout, each property was meticulously finished and presented to the highest standards. This property is the largest of all properties on the Preston Hall development and has been comprehensively enhanced to now enjoy a spectacular double height living area.
This apartment has been subsequently and comprehensively enhanced offering a spectacular double height living area and a mezzanine level portrayed by the original developer as providing a third sleeping area. Alternatively this beautiful space that overlooks the open plan living area below, could easily be used as a reception area or home office space.
Words from the current owner
“What attracted me to The Orwell at Preston Hall was its history and the fantastic architecture. The building, the grounds and the period features of this opulent building I know I will be unlikely to find again!
I knew from the first time I viewed the property that it had something very special. The property boasts stunning original features, such as the ornate beams and vaulted ceiling and the more recent additions such as the glass encased spiral staircase and the solid glass fronted 500 hole wine room blends history with a modern take.
Each room has been finished to a high standard and since living here I have changed the lights to my favourite crystal chandeliers in all the rooms, upgraded many of the features as well as adding customised length curtains and upholstery to give a more personal touch.
The grounds too are a pleasure to behold. I will miss the beautiful drive in to this prestigious building and the 200 yard view when entering, which has always reminded me of a scene from Downtown Abbey.”
