Discover your dream home at Old Hall Croft this Christmas...

A reimagined countryside retreat where rural serenity meets contemporary luxury 

Set against a backdrop of rolling countryside and wrapped in absolute tranquillity, Old Hall Croft is a home that feels entirely removed from the rush of everyday life. Approached along a private 300 metre farm track and set within around 0.8 acres of landscaped grounds, this beautifully revived residence has been transformed into a contemporary country sanctuary of exceptional calibre. 

Every inch of the property has been renewed with care, craftsmanship and vision. From the new roof, insulation and chimneys to the updated electrics, heating and water systems, the home has been elevated far beyond its origins, blending quietly luxurious interiors with the warmth and authenticity of rural living. 

Outside, the landscape unfolds as a natural haven, from the freshwater stream and pond to the wildlife rich gardens and mature trees. It is a gentle, restorative setting where privacy, nature and modern comfort live effortlessly side by side. 

A Warm Country Welcome 

Arrive along the long gravel approach where 7ft sliding gates glide open, revealing the privacy and calm of Old Hall Croft. The driveway draws you towards the house, its symmetry now beautifully expressed behind the newly re rendered façade. 

The main entrance sits along a path lined with original York stone slabs, uncovered in the garden during the renovation works and thoughtfully reinstated to frame the approach. The porch has been completely rebuilt, bringing back the character and proportions of the original farmhouse while creating a warm and functional welcome. 

This entrance space is the perfect place to hang coats and store shoes, a practical yet charming introduction to the home. From here, the porch opens into the entrance hall. 

The entrance hall offers access to the snug on one side and the ground floor study on the other, before leading naturally through to the extended section of the house where contemporary living and traditional country features come together seamlessly. 

The Snug and Study 

Tucked just off the entrance hall, the snug captures the timeless character of the original farmhouse. Centred around an original fireplace now home to a log burner, this is a room made for winter evenings. The large south facing window fills the space with soft, natural light throughout the day, while the proportions feel warm, intimate and deeply comforting. It is the kind of room you naturally gravitate towards, whether to read by the fire, unwind after a long day or enjoy a quiet moment with a morning coffee as the sun rises across the fields. 

Opposite the snug, the ground floor study offers an entirely different rhythm. With dual aspect windows drawing in views of the garden and countryside, this space feels calm, focused and removed from the bustle of daily life. Built in desks and storage have been thoughtfully designed to maximise practicality without compromising the room’s sense of tranquillity. Whether used as a dedicated home office, creative space or private retreat, it provides the ideal environment to work, think and breathe a little slower. 

Practical Spaces 

Practicality has been carefully woven into the fabric of Old Hall Croft, ensuring the home works beautifully for everyday living. 

The utility room is accessed through a charming stable style door, adding to the farmhouse feel the moment you step inside. With plumbing for both a washer and dryer and plenty of built in storage, it is a hardworking space designed to keep the home running effortlessly. A door leads directly out to the side porcelain laid courtyard with linear garden drains, perfect for arriving back from countryside walks or accessing the garden without moving through the main living areas. 

Tucked quietly to the rear of the home is the cold store, an invaluable area for additional storage and keeping provisions cool. Alongside this sits a separate WC with wash basin, discreetly positioned for everyday convenience. 

The Heart of the Home 

Flowing from the entrance hall, the extended section of Old Hall Croft opens into the true heart of the home. This beautifully crafted kitchen, living and dining space blends contemporary comfort with quiet rural elegance, creating a setting that is both impressive in scale and effortlessly welcoming. 

At its centre, the bespoke kitchen has been designed with both style and purpose in mind. Client’s own Mercury cooker forms the focal point for serious cooking, supported by a full suite of high quality appliances including a wine cooler, fridge and freezer, AEG integrated microwave and a dishwasher. The prep sink adds extra ease during busy mealtimes, while the Quooker tap provides boiling, sparkling and filtered water instantly, a luxurious touch that elevates everyday living. 

Electric blinds soften the light at the touch of a button, while the underfloor heating that runs throughout the kitchen, dining and living spaces creates a gentle warmth underfoot. This entire area has been curated to feel calm, cohesive and ready for every season. 

The client’s own integrated QSC speaker system transforms this open plan room into an exceptional entertaining space, perfect for hosting dinner parties, celebrations and long summer afternoons flowing out to the patio. 

At one end of the room, the dining area sits beside a feature fireplace and log burner, creating a cosy ambience for family meals or slow weekend gatherings. The adjoining living space enjoys soft garden views, offering a relaxing place to unwind at the end of the day or to come together as a family. 

The Living Room 

Set just beyond the heart of the home, the living room rises into beautiful vaulted ceilings that instantly create a sense of space, calm and quiet grandeur. This is a room designed for slower moments and gentle gatherings, where the light shifts softly throughout the day. 

Patio doors open directly onto both the main garden and the courtyard, allowing the outdoors to become an effortless extension of the room. In the warmer months, the space flows naturally into the sunshine, while in the cooler seasons the connection to the landscape still feels ever present. 

A log burner is set within a characterful fireplace, bringing warmth and atmosphere as the evenings draw in. Whether enjoying a peaceful Sunday by the fire, hosting friends, or simply unwinding at the end of the day, the room holds a deep sense of comfort. 

Its generous proportions, soaring ceiling lines and dual garden access make the living room a standout feature of Old Hall Croft, offering a serene contrast to the energy of the open plan spaces beyond. 

The Rear Lobby 

To the far side of the home, the rear lobby offers an alternative and wonderfully practical entrance, perfect for everyday use. Externally, it is framed by a charming oak porch that sets the tone the moment you arrive, adding warmth and character to this side of the house. 

Inside, the lobby is a well organised hub, warmed by underfloor heating and designed to make coming and going effortless. To one side sits a cloakroom, ideal for coats and outdoor layers, while the additional WC on the opposite side provides everyday convenience without encroaching on the main living spaces. 

Whether you are returning from the countryside with muddy boots, welcoming guests through a more informal entrance, or simply using this area as the daily route in and out, the rear lobby is a thoughtful, beautifully executed space that enhances the rhythm of family living. 

The First Floor 

Ascending the stairs, the first floor unfolds as a peaceful retreat, shaped by soft light, calm proportions and far reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The landing connects each of the bedrooms with a natural flow, offering moments of quiet as you move through the upper floor.

Rooms Designed for Comfort and Calm

Bedroom Three 

With dual aspect windows and an original feature fireplace, Bedroom Three blends charm and character with generous proportions. The natural light here is particularly lovely, creating a warm and restful atmosphere. 
This bedroom also benefits from access to the Jack and Jill family bathroom, shared with the landing, making it ideal for guests or older children who value a little extra space and independence. 

The Family Bathroom 

Stepping down into the family bathroom, the sense of luxury is immediate. Warmed by electric underfloor heating that continues seamlessly into the walk-in shower, the space feels calm, inviting and beautifully considered. 

Porcelain tiles imported from Italy bring a refined, understated elegance to the room, complemented by a marble topped vanity unit that adds a soft, timeless sophistication. Every detail has been chosen to create a boutique hotel feel, balanced perfectly with the comfort of home. 

The large, centrally filling bath is the highlight of the space, positioned to make the most of the natural light from the window. It is a place to unwind at the end of the day, soaking in the warmth while enjoying peaceful views of the surrounding countryside. 

Practical yet indulgent, serene yet striking, this bathroom enhances the first floor layout effortlessly, offering a level of comfort that elevates everyday living.

It is a space that invites slow mornings, quiet evenings and uninterrupted calm. 

Inside, the bedroom itself is generously proportioned, with ample room to create a seating area or reading nook, allowing the space to feel like a private retreat at the end of the day. 

The ensuite is accessed directly from the bedroom and continues the sense of quiet indulgence, with a walk in shower, refined fittings and a serene atmosphere that elevates everyday routines. 

Beyond the ensuite lies the dressing room. Cleverly arranged and well proportioned, this versatile space works beautifully as a dedicated dressing area, but could equally serve as an additional bedroom for a nursery, a private study or a quiet space to relax. Its flexibility offers huge appeal for families, guests or those seeking a more adaptable layout. 

Together, these rooms form a principal suite of exceptional comfort, privacy and character, perfectly in keeping with the understated luxury that defines Old Hall Croft. 

Eaves Storage 

From the main landing, a door opens into a substantial eaves storage room, offering an incredibly practical addition to the first floor. This large, neatly arranged space is ideal for storing seasonal items, luggage, household essentials and everything best kept out of sight yet easily accessible. 

The room also houses the boiler and the two pressurised hot water tanks, ensuring the home’s systems are centralised, efficient and discreetly tucked away. With ample headroom and clearly defined areas for organisation, the eaves storage provides a valuable and functional space that supports the smooth running of the home without intruding on the beautifully finished living areas. 

The Annexe 

Positioned to offer complete flexibility, the self-contained annexe is one of Old Hall Croft’s most appealing features. Whether used as an independent office, a guest suite, space for multigenerational living or a calm creative studio, it provides a level of versatility that adapts effortlessly to changing needs. 

Bi folding doors open onto a private decked terrace, allowing the space to feel bright, open and quietly connected to the garden. It is the perfect spot to step out with a coffee, take a breath between meetings or welcome guests with a sense of privacy. 

Inside, the annexe includes a well planned kitchen and a modern shower room, creating a fully functioning living space without relying on the main house. The proportions work beautifully for those looking to work from home without distraction, offering a peaceful environment that is separate yet conveniently close. 

Whether used daily or reserved for visiting family and friends, the annexe enhances the home with its adaptability and thoughtful design, making Old Hall Croft even more suited to modern rural living.

Sweeping lawns provide open space for children to play, dogs to roam or for simply soaking up the tranquillity of the countryside. Paths of York stone and Millboard decking guide you gently through the different zones of the garden, linking each area with ease and purpose. 

A natural freshwater stream runs through the grounds, bringing with it an ecosystem of wildlife.

The pond, tucked within the planting, offers another quiet focal point and invites wildlife into the garden, enhancing the rural charm of the setting. 

Multiple terraces and seating areas make the outdoors feel like an extension of the home.
