Impressive Grade II Listed country house with field views.

Description

Hall Farmhouse is a wonderful Grade II listed five-bedroom hall extending to approximately 4,563 sq ft of generous accommodation. The present owners have maintained the property in their tenure to create a welcoming family home in a stunning position overlooking farmland.

Stokesby Hall is set within the centre of Hall Farm and originally
dates back to the 14th century and was built by the Clere family who hailed from Ormesby. Stokesby Hall and the surrounding land stayed within the Clere family until it was passed via marriage to Sir Thomas Windham in 1639. The house was later then sold to George England the 2nd in 1712. England was a merchant who served as MP for Great Yarmouth and died in 1725. George England the 2nd was able to use Stokesby Hall and its proximity to the River Bure to gain access into Great Yarmouth for both his work as a merchant and latterly in his life as a member of parliament.

The property is spread over three floors and of particular note to the ground floor is how the elegant drawing room perfectly combines with the older part of the house and is a wonderful and surprising contrast to the sitting room with its inglenook fireplace. With five bedrooms to the first and second floors being well served via an en suite to the principal room and both a family bathroom and shower room to serve the remaining rooms allowing for ample guest or large family occupancy.

Whilst in places the property could now benefit from some modernisation this well loved and grand home is a rare opportunity to own such an impressive country house.
