The Property

In an idyllic setting, and listed Grade II, Higham Hall in its current form, is understood to have been built in the early 1900’s. Constructed of red brick with sandstone dressings with a plain tile roof, the Hall has continued to be well maintained during the current owner’s tenure creating a wonderful country residence.

The accommodation radiates from a central reception hall, which sets the tone for the rest of the house with its attractive timber flooring, oak panelling, large open fireplace and magnificent Jacobean staircase with a gallery which runs the length of the reception hall. The reception rooms are set off the hall and are of excellent proportions. The drawing room, with its ornate plasterwork, deep skirting boards, fireplace, and large bay window, enjoys wonderful views over the garden and grounds, and has a southerly facing aspect, as does the neighbouring dining room elegantly presented with ceiling plasterwork, with a stone fireplace and set of doors leading to the garden terrace. The Billiard room offers a secondary sitting room, the nearby snug is ideal as a children’s playroom and the rear porch accesses the sweeping driveway with easy access to the former grass tennis court.
Further to the ground floor, is a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with a 4-oven AGA, access to a walk-in pantry, and useful utility/ boot room. Elsewhere on the ground floor is a study, and cloakroom. In addition are various stores, and plant room.

To the first floor, the principal suite overlooks the gardens, with the parkland in view, framed by a deep bay window. The suite has a door through to a dressing area and well - appointed ensuite bathroom. To the same floor are eight further bedrooms, each with access to three bathrooms, and a useful linen room.

‘West Hall’, a separate dwelling connected to Higham Hall, is also available to purchase should interested parties require additional living accommodation. Further details available upon request.
