Find Out A Little More ..... - The following describes the house with renovation works complete.

Deighton Hall is a handsome, symmetrical, double-fronted period house with nine evenly spaced south-facing windows overlooking its gardens and adjoining land. The original layout has been sensitively preserved and it retains both a principal staircase and a secondary rear staircase leading to what would historically have been the servants’ quarters. Many fine period features have been restored, including a magnificent kitchen hearth, exposed beams and fireplaces. These sit alongside carefully considered new fixtures and fittings that complement the restored interiors and include traditional column radiators and wall panelling.

The house is well suited to modern family living, offering generous utility space, extensive storage, and a large top-floor attic storeroom. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, designed for both everyday living and entertaining, providing ample space for a family dining table. It is fitted with underfloor heating and features a bespoke Neptune kitchen with Quartz worktops and Belfast sink positioned to enjoy the garden outlook. This is complemented by a large utility/laundry room with sink and a fully fitted boot room, all benefiting from underfloor heating.

The principal reception rooms are arranged either side of the central hallway and are both beautifully proportioned and rich in character. One features a fireplace with an impressive overmantel, while the other includes traditional fitted cupboards flanking an open fireplace. A study/snug is positioned quietly to the rear of the house, retaining some original features with historic meat hooks on the ceiling, and including underfloor heating.

A staircase with runner and rods rises to the first floor, passing a half landing filled with natural light from a tall sash window. There are three bedrooms on this floor. The principal suite benefits from two south-facing windows, a dressing room and a well-appointed bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in shower, double vanity and with heated towel rails. Bedrooms 2 and 3 and both generous in scale and are served by a bright and spacious house bathroom with excellent natural light.

A secondary staircase rises to the top floor where there is a fourth bedroom, a double with generous ceiling height and a Velux window, alongside a spacious bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in shower and vanity unit. Opposite is a highly versatile full-width store room.

Outside - Electric gates at the head of a shared driveway provide access to three individual properties. A second set of gates opens to the private driveway of Deighton Hall, which is gravelled and sweeps across the front of the house providing a generous parking and turning area. It leads to a detached garage with traditional timber doors, power, lighting and an EV charging point.

The landscaped gardens and adjoining field wrap around three sides of the property. Boundaries are defined by estate fencing and laurel hedging to the west, with a mix of hedging and fencing elsewhere, beyond which lies open countryside.
