Northall Inn, Grade II listed 16th Century former Inn steeped in history,
The Property
This breathtaking home dates back to 1542 when it was built as the Village Inn which it remained until the 1990's when it was sympathetically converted into an impressive family home. Today we see a property of over 3000 sq ft and containing an abundant array of character features and historical charm throughout.
Set back from the road, and accessed via a sweeping driveway this home really takes centre stage within it's third of an acre plot. As you reach the front elevation the period features stand out, from the timber front door with glorious heavy duty ironmongery, the intricate carvings on the wooden window lintels, to the Tudor Jetty design of an overhanging first floor. The preservation of original features is utterly impressive and charming.
An entrance vestibule leads into the main inner entrance hall. A large space with original brick laid flooring, boasting a terrific patina that shouts of it's past incarnations. A huge cast iron stove acts as a focal point as do the numerous exposed wooden beams. This entrance space opens up into a large living room, with views over the garden to the front and again a large wood burning stove.
There is a large study or snug, and access through to a utility room with shower and downstairs WC.
To the other flank is the formal dining room. In my opinion the most awe-inspiring room. Numerous original wooden beams, wooden flooring and a stunning ornate fire surround create a breathtaking space. From here there is access s through to the impressively sized kitchen-diner. A vast space with numerous storage cupboards and an abundance of space to dine and enjoy the views over farmland to the rear aspect. There is a further reception room that would be ideal for a snug, TV room or kids playroom. Both this second reception room and kitchen form part of modern extensions that fit seamlessly into the original structure.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms. All a great size, some with with vaulted ceilings and wood burning stoves. The decor and finish throughout is superb, stylish in nature and practical for family use. The main bathroom is stunning. Boasting a freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle and presented to an extremely high standard and design.
Externally there are three brick built, pitched roofed outbuildings. Situated on the other side of the driveway these structures offer superb potential. Currently used as a workshop and storage, but could easily be converted to host of different uses; perhaps a self-contained annexe, gym or home office.
The main garden is situated to the front of the house where is sits far back from the road. Mainly laid to lawn the space would be perfect for a large family or those seeking generous outside space, with the plot in total measuring in excess of a third of an acre. There is also a rear garden with lawn and large decked bar area. Perfect for entertaining and boasting tremendous views over the adjacent farmland.
This is a truly stunning home, the range of character features, charm and historical value is outstanding. But please do not just take my word for it. If you think that you would like to be the next custodian of this historical home then please browse the photos, enjoy the video tour and then get in touch and give me a call to arrange a viewing.
