5 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

Sparrows Hall is a delightful family house set in a rural location, believed to date back to the mid 19th century. The original structure is of a timber frame with rendered elevations under a tiled roof. In recent years the property has gone through major alterations and now links to the large timber framed barn which could easily be converted into a separate annexe. The property retains a number of period features and is arranged on 3 floors. The impressive reception hall links through to the delightful sitting room and spacious study and of particular note is the kitchen/family/dining room. The kitchen is well fitted with base and wall cabinets and oil fired Aga. The snug has French doors leading through to the Breckenridge constructed conservatory and the former barn now accommodates the workroom/studio, games room and garaging. The master bedroom has fine countryside views, en suite bathroom, 3 further bedrooms, a shower room and, to the 2nd floor, a superb guest suite with en suite bathroom. Outside, the gravelled driveway provides ample parking, leading to the garaging and store rooms. The formal grounds are principally laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs, with a summerhouse and central yorkstone steps lead down to the grass tennis court. The swimming pool complex, with paved and terrace surrounds, is approx. 36ft x 18ft with electric cover. Further outbuildings include the pool equipment room, heater exchanger unit, a timber framed wendy house, further sheds and mower stores. In all, the grounds extend to just over one acre. N.B Some of the photographs used were taken in Summer 2011.
