Gutteridge Hall - Highlights from the Owners
On purchasing Gutteridge Hall in 2017 it was quite clear this home was unloved and stuck in the 1980s. It required refurbishing from top to bottom,
as it stands now it is 95 per cent finished and no expense has been spared on materials and only quality products have been used. All the systems within the house and outside of the house have been updated or renewed.
The renovations have been done sympathetically. Many of the features from the original Gutteridge Hall, which dates back several hundred years, have been retained.
Gutteridge Hall is a very peaceful place to live and we have many visitors to the garden which return every year. These include, rabbits, deer, foxes, owls, woodpeckers, buzzards, kestrels, red kites, red legged partridges and more which all roam around the grounds. We have amazing scenery from the front and back of the house and the sun rise and sun set are very special.
We never planned on leaving this house but we both have another ambition to achieve.
