Description
Set amidst over 3 acres of mature parkland, Mangreen Hall North represents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire what is currently a successful retreat venue, but would equally make an idyllic country house home.
A long, sweeping, tree-lined driveway leads to the 300-year-old Grade II* Listed hall, which boasts in excess of 5,000 sq. ft. of historic accommodation adorned with a fine array of original features.
No less than nine en-suite double bedrooms can be found as one explores the eclectic interiors, while the formal reception rooms boast as much opulence and character as one could hope for from a fine country home.
All bedrooms enjoy recently refitted bathrooms, and each enjoys a distinct character of its own – from the striking “Queen Anne” suites to the characterful “Loft” rooms on the second floor.
Throughout the grounds, a remarkable array of outbuildings can be discovered, each bringing superb versatility to the property. This cements Mangreen Hall’s status as an extraordinarily capable property, able to meet any number of lifestyle or commercial requirements.
In addition to the Robert Kett Room in the main house, which is ideal for formal board meetings, there is the self-contained Orchard Complex nestled within the grounds. Within the complex is the Pat Duffield Room, which accommodates 14 boardroom-style seats and opens onto the main lawns.
The Orchard Room has space for up to 70 delegates and opens out into a small orchard and garden. All these rooms enjoy natural light.
Among the most unique spaces found within the grounds is the Light Centre Sanctuary, nestled in a quiet corner. This purpose-built centre for wellbeing showcases striking architecture and provides a memorable environment like no other. The only limitation for uses for such a space is one’s own imagination.
The recently refurbished heated indoor swimming pool is housed in a purpose-built structure, featuring a 5m x 10m pool with full changing facilities.
Of course, one of the most striking and memorable features of Mangreen Hall North is the enchanting plot on which it sits. Well-kept lawns sprawl beneath the dappled shade of handsome mature trees, and far-reaching countryside views grace much of the plot, while many quiet corners can be found to escape the rush of everyday life.
MANGREEN
Mangreen is a charming village offering a peaceful rural setting. Nestled just a few miles to the south of Norwich, Mangreen provides a serene escape from city life while still being close to all the amenities and attractions the city offers.
To the west of Mangreen lies the village of Swardeston, a similarly peaceful and picturesque location. The two villages are separated by only a short distance, with Swardeston being just a 5-10 minute drive from Mangreen. Swardeston is know for beautiful countryside walks, and the Church of St. Mary, a historic site that dates back to the medieval period. The close proximity of these two villages means that residents can enjoy the best of both worlds – the quiet solitude of Mangreen and the quaint charm of Swardeston.
Mangreen’s location also offers easy access to the vibrant city of Norwich, located just 6 miles to the north. Norwich, one of the oldest cities in England, is a cultural and economic hub of the region, providing a wealth of amenities, including excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment options. The city is home to a rich history, seen in its stunning medieval architecture, such as the Norwich Cathedral and Norwich Castle. It is also a thriving centre for the arts and hosts a variety of festivals throughout the year, adding to the city’s cultural allure.
Being so close to Norwich allows Mangreen residents to enjoy the calm of village life while still being able to take advantage of the city’s vibrant offerings, making it a perfect base for those who want to experience the best of both rural and urban living.
