EPC Rating: G
Imposing and Impressive
Approach the home along a broad, gated driveway, offering a sense of separation from the world bolstered by the acre of land within which it is set, before making your way inside. Stone archways, stained glass window and a sweeping staircase capture the history of the home from the moment you step into the entrance hallway. Wide wooden doors lead to the first two reception rooms, both with their own unique appeal. Bronze casement, stone mullion, seated windows, exposed stonework and woodburning stoves imbue both rooms with elegance and character.
Culinary Classic
Historical features blend seamlessly with the exceptionally designed Neptune kitchen. An internal stone mullion window and exposed timbers in the ceiling harmonise with the timeless Shaker-style cabinetry and sociable breakfast bar, set within the central island. Offering a convenient ‘boot room’ entrance, the irregular shapes and intriguing stonework of the utility room are evocative of the character encapsulated within each room at The Old Hall. Classic and understated, the Shaker style continues in here, alongside wooden countertops and Belfast sink. A separate outbuilding houses the laundry.
Light-Filled Living
Awash with light courtesy of windows to three sides, the high, vaulted and beam-adorned ceiling of the garden room amplifies the light and invites you to relax and unwind. In summer, open the French doors to create a seamless connection to the garden beyond. Nestled off the kitchen, and with handy access to the garden is the rear hallway. Formerly used as a gym, consider its potential as a playroom or home office.
Bedtime Beckons
With six characterful bedrooms and three bathrooms set over two floors, The Old Hall provides room for all. From the hallway, ascend the handsome wood panelled staircase, wending your way up to the second floor to discover two charming, beam-bedecked bedrooms and bathroom featuring freestanding, rolltop, clawfoot bathtub with separate shower. A capacious and versatile room with vaulted ceiling offers incredible potential as a games room, or perhaps for conversion into two further double, en suite bedrooms.
Bountiful Bedrooms
Returning to the first floor, two further, sumptuously-sized bedrooms await, served by a spacious family bathroom with walk-in shower and rolltop, clawfoot bath with a sweet, panelled window seat. An enchanting stone archway lends a sense of grandeur to the final two bedrooms, where a Jack and Jill bathroom features a slipper bath, separate shower, wash basin and lavatory. Similar in size, the capacious guest bedroom and principal suite both feature sturdy wooden beams overhead, exposed stone and brick work and feature fireplaces, encapsulating the antiquity of the home.
Glorious Gardens
The extensive grounds of just over an acre wraparound The Old Hall, providing interest and intrigue at every step. Beautifully landscaped, neatly mown lawns and gravel pathways set the traditional, low maintenance marker for the sunny and spacious north and south facing gardens. Sunlight dapples down through mature trees, whilst a resplendent copper beech commands attention to the centre of one lawn. Birdsong resonates, the only interlocutor to the peace and serenity of the setting. A large, detached outbuilding, currently used for storage, was previously granted planning permission to convert into a two bedroom annexe, garage and oak carport, paving the potential for developing the home further.
