Set back from the green, Naughton Hall is believed to date back to the 17th century and is timber framed with plastered elevations. Enriched with original features, including beamed ceilings and walls, open fireplaces, brick and hardwood flooring, octagonal chimneys and leaded windows, this fine home is set within the most exquisite gardens that are moated on three sides. In addition to the formal gardens, is a gated wood of almost 2 acres, and together, makes for an idyllic country home.
Internally, the accommodation radiates from a welcoming entrance hall, offering spacious and well-proportioned rooms of some elegance. On the ground floor are three principal reception rooms together with a study, family room and shower room/cloakroom that could be used as a guest suite or granny annexe as it sits away from the main rooms and has access to the outside. There is also a charming country kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, a utility, and a boot room with pantry.
Whilst on the first and second floor are six bedrooms, a family bathroom and shower room. Views over the manicured gardens and countryside beyond can be enjoyed from all aspects of the property. Of particular note, the properties can be purchased almost fully furnished subject to requirement and additional negotiation.
Set back from the green, Naughton Hall is approach by a shingle drive that leads to a large gated parking area to the side of the property, along with a cart lodge and useful outbuildings. A second pedestrian entrance can be found nestled between two tall perfected shaped conifers with feature cast iron gate that sits perfectly in line with the shingle footpath leading to the front door, bordered by beautiful circular carved hedging, immaculately cut lawns and colourful flower beds.
The gardens are a real feature of this charming home and wraps around the property on all sides. Areas for sitting and wonderful outdoor ‘rooms’ to enjoy, with a wide variety of mature trees, shrubs and spring bulbs complete the scene. The moat has been carefully incorporated into the landscape, with an abundance of wild flowers and spring bulbs that surround the fringes, along with a quaint bridge that leads to a secret garden to enjoy the morning coffee or escape from the sun.
A further parcel of land set away from the main garden is also included within the sale. Previously pasture land, now an enchanted woodland which is gated and could be converted into an area for grazing. A wonderful area to enjoy a pleasant walk, away from the main gardens.
