Description

Gypsy Hall is a truly unique property in an exceptionally private setting offering complete seclusion. Born from what was originally five individual cottages Gypsy Hall offers sprawling and extended accommodation as well as a two bedroom annexe. Over the years, land has been added to the impressive gardens to offer over 10 acres of gardens and paddocks creating a sizable equestrian facility with a stable yard. The main residence is set over two floors under pitch tiled roofs. The front door leads into a sizable entrance hallway that offers a cloakroom directly off and opens up to the sitting room which is set around a fireplace with inset wood burner, with views to the front and rear of the property. Directly off the sitting room is the utility that offers ample storage space, an integrated sink and plumbing for laundry facilities.

From the opposite side of the entrance hall is the expansive kitchen/dining room which forms part of a sizable extension from the original property. Fantastic for entertaining friends and family whilst opening directly into the gardens via bi fold doors, the fitted country style kitchen comprises of wall and floor storage, a double butler sink, range style oven with gas hobs and integrated fridge. A real feature of the home is the vaulted, barn style family room which features exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with inset wood burner, that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Just off the family room is a delightful sun room which overlooks the gardens. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a generous, vaulted double bedroom with open views over the gardens via bi fold doors, and is accompanied by a shower room with walk in shower, wash basin and low level WC. Two separate staircases lead to the first floor accommodation, with the main staircase located in the sitting room and leading to four double bedrooms of which two are Jack and Jill bedrooms. This first floor area is completed by the family bathroom that is fitted with a full bathroom suite. The second staircase is located within the inner hall and leads to a further double bedroom.

The attached two bedroom annexe can be accessed via the main house but does also benefit from a separate entrance. The front door leads into an entrance hall that gives access to the open plan kitchen/living area with ample space for a dining area and lounge space. There is a beautifully fitted modern kitchen with wall and floor storage, integrated appliances including a double oven, dishwasher and fridge. A rear lobby offers a utility area and cloakroom. Completing the ground floor is a family bathroom with a roll top bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and low level WC. To the first floor there is one good sized single bedroom and a main double bedroom, which also includes a separate dressing area and cloakroom facilities.

Outside the grounds extend to over 10 acres of well-manicured gardens and paddocks. The private driveway is accessed via a five bar gate offering ample off road parking and leads to the detached double garage, with two sets of barn style doors and a large separate store to the rear of the garage. An external stair access takes you to a office/games room above the garage. A purpose built stable yard offers adequate facilities for equestrian use with seven boxes, tack room and feed room. The formal gardens which serve both the main house and the annexe that has its own private garden with summer house are mainly laid to lawn with an array of mature trees and cut pathways leading to the planted native woodland, that has been created by the current owner.
