Description

The Hall offers a rare opportunity to acquire an impressive coastal county house that offers a superb private home as well as offering potential for a number of commercial uses e.g. boutique hotel/B&B, retreat, educational establishment etc, (stp – subject to planning). The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales describes The Hall as a:

“Large house with extraordinary mixture of styles. Pseudo-medieval rear. Crenelated front with Victorian conservatory. Much altered but retains an early core.”

Its history started as an old farmhouse that has been added to and modified over the centuries to produce the house that stands today. It is believed that the property was requisitioned during the Second World War by the Royal Canadian Air Force as a headquarters with the owner at the time (a Mrs Mirehouse who was an elderly widow) being allowed to live in two small rooms in the attic with her maid. The castellations, as well as many other features, were added by Lt Col Richard Walter Byrd Mirehouse who served in South Africa and came back with architectural ideas that we can still see around the house and throughout Angle village today.
