Description

Tasburgh Hall is a mansion of red brick in the late Jacobean style and stands in well-timbered grounds, with formal topiary gardens, orchard and lake.

Faden's map of 1797 shows a dwelling called "Tasburgh Lodge " on this site and it is this 17th century dwelling that incepted the story of Tasburgh Hall.

The earliest known occupants of Tasburgh Lodge were the Beevor Family, descended from Thomas Beevor of Peninstone. The property was sold around 1815 to General William Gwyn. Whites Directory of Norfolk 1836, stated that William Gwyn Esquire owned a pleasant seat called Tasburgh lodge.

Around 1880 the Tasburgh Lodge Estate was purchased by Edward Johnson, son of John Johnson of St Osyths Priory. The Hall then disappears from the county directories between 1885 and 1890 as the lodge was being replaced by the hall on the instructions of Philip Berney Ficklin, a collector of antiquities and philanthropist.

He made some substantial additions and renovations to the property including a gatehouse and entertaining room where private dance balls where held. His coat of arms is evident within the property and on the stone memorial in the garden, commemorating the findings of skeletal remains and pottery.

From the 1900s the Hall disappears from the electoral registers. The Hall was requisitioned early in the Second World War when it became the head quarters of an army search light unit.

Later in the war, the army vacated and it was used to house and educate evacuees. Subsequently the Hall became a Buddhist Centre. Ownership then passed to four families, who shared the house and resided in it as separate dwellings. It was from here that the current owners took over Tasburgh Hall in 2007, undertaking a 15 year project bringing the house back to a single home and returning it to its former glory.

Over the last fifteen years, the house has been renovated to exacting detail, incorporating elaborate plaster mouldings, gilded radiators, oak and stone flooring, luxury designer bathroom fittings including Lefroy brooks, Sottini & CP Hart. An extraordinary bespoke designed Clive Christian kitchen houses the Lacanche 7 burner and a Shaws butler sink adorned with Perrin & Rowe taps. Also to be discovered is a Neville Johnson study, six wood burners, under floor heating and much more.

As for the gardens, these have been enhanced with the planting of specimen trees, topiary gardens, formation of a stocked lake , boundary fencing, addition of two Hartley Botanic greenhouses and a cart lodge.

As one sweeps through the gates and along the gravel driveway, you are greeted by the ornately carved front door into the welcoming hallway profusely panelled with deep moulded plaster cornice above and the warmth of a flickering wood burner.

Tasburgh Hall has three bedroom suites including an outstanding principal suite, and four further bedrooms served by two further bathrooms.

The second floor of the property is accessed by two separate staircases, providing the potential for compartmental living and working.

A superb self-contained four bedroom guest wing is used for leisure on the ground floor, including a gym and a games room.

There is a detached two bedroom gatehouse with lapsed planning to extend, to create four bedrooms. This is an excellent opportunity for rental income.

The Hall, West Wing and South Lodge sit in 23 acres of stunning gardens and grounds including landscaped formal gardens, kitchen garden and orchard, stocked fishing lake, tennis court and beautiful parkland with an historic monument.

Solar panels cover electricity costs and generate further income.
