descriPtionAn early 17th & 18th century hall, mentioned in nikolaus

pevsner’s the buildings of england, the subject of a complete

restoration and renovation project to create glorious family

accommodation with a substantial detached barn (with

potential), private gardens and grounds, in all some 4.3 acres

or thereabouts.

staircase hall with glorious sweeping staircase rising to the first floor

landing. there is access off to one of the generous cellars, principal

drawing room, kitchen and rear hallway.

earlier part of the house again a well proportioned room with part

inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. sitting room set to the

front of the house. inner hallway with a historic dogleg staircase rising

to the upper floors.

Historical notethis exceptionally well restored and renovated grade ii* country

house is believed to date back in part to 1612 with the listing

indicating the original house from the early 18th century with

19th century additions. the documentation within ‘pevsner’s the

buildings of england’ comments it to be of elizabethan or Jacobean

brick and stone with flat quoins. pevsner comments on the style

being similar to that of sudbury hall and that it could well be by sir

William Wilson.

there are a wealth of period features both in the house with some

stunning plaster work and an early period staircase rising to the

upper floors. the drawing room set to the side of the house is

approached from a dramatic inner staircase hall and within the

William and Mary Wing (1688 to 1702). it is understood that a

comprehensive restoration and renovation project was undertaken

in recent years under the direction of derek latham to create the

stunning current home.

of particular note externally is the principal north elevation with

superb canted porch on two large pillasters with a mullion bay over

to first floor level. the adjoining west wing which houses the drawing

room has an impressive full height Ashlar bay with large corinthium

pillars creating a dramatic facade to this part of the house.

internally the house has been completely renovated and refurbished

throughout yet carefully retaining the historic nature and feel of

the property.

landing and access to generous master bedroom with a wide oak

floor, fine chimney piece, separate dressing room. family principal

bathroom carefully designed and fitted with a slightly raised

freestanding bath, separate walk in shower, twin wash hand basins

both with en suite bath/shower rooms. Within the adjoining wing is

the rear landing area rising from the sweeping staircase to a semi

galleried landing and a wonderful guest/master suite comprising

a substantial double bedroom and a large high quality well fitted

en suite bathroom with shower.

the original principal staircase rises to a second floor landing where

there are two further good bedrooms and a separate well fitted

shower room and a very large family room/cinema room with views

onto the rear gardens. this could be adapted into further bedroom

accommodation or guest suite if required.

adjoining paddocks.

have been knocked together to create the oil store and potting shed.
