Description
About the Property.
The Hayloft, formerly the stables and coach house associated with Clare Hall, is a substantial stone building set within a private rural setting, enjoying a strong sense of seclusion. The main building provides a rare opportunity to create an attractive and substantial dwelling. To the rear of the property is a former kitchen garden enclosed by a brick wall and a shared access leads to the property through formal gates from the A37.
About the Inside.
To the front of the property is a cobbled yard from which there is access to the main building. The first floor is already in established residential use and comprises a generous principal living room, a well-proportioned bedroom, a bathroom, a smaller sitting room and an adjoining conservatory. The accommodation is characterised by good ceiling heights, exposed structural elements and attractive outlooks over the surrounding countryside, providing comfortable and functional living space in its current form.
At ground floor level, the accommodation beneath comprises the former stables and coach house, with a series of sizeable rooms and ancillary areas reflecting the building’s historical origins. These spaces offer clear scope for improvement and potential expansion of the residential accommodation. The scale, footprint and configuration of the ground floor present an opportunity to significantly enhance and reconfigure the overall accommodation.
About the Outside.
The property is approached via a shared gated stone entrance, leading to a shared driveway which provides access to the property. Beyond the yard lies the walled former kitchen garden. This area offers a high degree of privacy and presents clear scope for landscaping and reinstatement as a garden space
