Darwell Hill, Netherfield , TN33

A unique 16th Century Grade II listed country house that was moved and re-constructed in its current location in the 1990's to retain many notable features with wonderful vaulted and galleried landings and exposed timbers throughout.  There are two principle reception rooms, both with large inglenook fireplaces and exposed brick and stonework.  The adaptable layout provides 4/5 bedrooms, three galleried landings and two attic rooms.  The house stands in approximately 1 acre which lies level with a large area of parking. There is a large workshop and we are advised the original planning consent allowed for a separate roundel to be built within the front garden.  With its convenient location being just a short stroll to the centre of the village and primary school, viewing is highly recommended.

NOTE: Planning has been granted as of 2nd October 2024 for 24 dwellings on part of the field to the east of the property, planning reference: RR/2023/64/P.
