Bretby Hall , Bretby

Bretby Hall is Grade II* listed and is of historic and architectural importance, formerly being the home to the Earl of Chesterfield and steeped in history, the hall was converted into luxury apartments and the East Tower offers a stunning blend of character living with modern comforts. Occupying a choice position in this former stately home with light and spacious accommodation leading to a stunning turret top garden with spectacular panoramic views.
Set within glorious parkland, the hall is approached along a private drive off the A511 Burton to Ashby Road, and there is secure parking for two cars within the electric gated inner courtyard, visitor parking outside the hall is also available.

The East Tower is accessed from the South Wing main entrance hall, with a secure key operated lift leading to the second-floor landing.
From here, wide double doors open into a superb reception hall, having an original stone floor, an elegant Georgian staircase off which is flooded with light from a rooftop lantern above, and large dual aspect sash windows, one of which has shuttered reveals. Beneath the stairs is a fitted bookcase and cupboards providing a useful study space, together with understairs storage.

From the hall, a large Georgian casement door opens into a magnificent drawing room, with high ceilings and cornice. There is a period fireplace housing a newly installed log burner on slate hearth and quality laminate flooring. Two large sash windows with shutters open to the south aspect, providing lovely views across the parkland. An interconnecting door leads through to the breakfast kitchen which is fitted with an attractive range of shaker style units in a period design, featuring granite work surfaces and a recess housing a Rangemaster cooker with granite splashback and over mantle. There is worktop lighting and illuminated wall cupboards together with an integrated dishwasher and washing machine. The breakfast area is situated adjacent to a curved wall with a sash window overlooking the grounds, and there is also a useful utility cupboard.

The inner hall from the main reception hall serves the master bedroom, which is housed in the turret section, having a curved wall with twin sash windows either side of an elegant period fireplace together with excellent quality fitted wardrobes. Adjacent is the main bathroom, again in the turret featuring a curved wall with inset sash windows and having a return door to the hall, Jack and Jill style. The bathroom features a freestanding slipper bath with mixer tap and shower, low level WC, bidet and twin wash hand basins with wall lights, cornice to ceiling and a sash window with shuttered reveals.

The Georgian staircase rises to a spectacular galleried landing with a roof lantern above. There is access to useful loft storage space and a short flight of oak steps to the first-floor inner landing, off which is a guest bedroom in the turret with lovely oak flooring, fireplace and sash windows. Adjacent is a smart fitted dressing room with hanging rails, shelves, drawer units and a dressing table, with a window to the south and an airing cupboard housing the gas central heating boiler (installed September 2022), together with new pressurised hot water system. Off the landing is a further bedroom with a curved wall, oak flooring, fireplace and window. Both bedrooms are served by a luxury refitted shower room having tiled floor and walls, walk in shower with glazed screen, WC and wash hand basin, with LED lighting and a window to the side.

The jewel in the crown can be found off the landing, where a door conceals stairs which lead to a spectacular roof terrace. Sitting on top of the turret complete with battlements, there is decked flooring, decorative lighting and working hot tub. This makes a superb space for relaxing or al fresco entertaining, with spectacular 360-degree views.
