Description

Theydon Hall is a substantial Grade II listed Georgian house situated on the outskirts of this delightful sought after village. The property dates back to late C18 and features elegant accommodation arranged over two floors plus a substantial and useable basement floor. The handsome and imposing façade of the property is enhanced at the west end of the house by a two storey canted bay of brick with double hung sash windows which complements the overall symmetry of the property.

Theydon Hall has been much enhanced by the current owners and the main part of the house commands a very high level of finish and all improvements have been executed with flawless taste and considerable attention to detail. The house succeeds in retaining its original period charm and provides excellent accommodation for modern day family living, extravagant entertaining or social events alike. The prominent period flourishes and features have been beautifully preserved and sit well alongside contemporary fixtures and fittings.

As one would expect of a Georgian gem, the proportions are excellent, and rooms of particular note include the light and airy
Christians kitchen and breakfast room which is very well equipped with an array of state-of-the-art appliances and sleek granite work surfaces and the stately drawing room. Also on the ground floor is a dining room, a study, games room, cloakroom and utility room. There is a door from the ground floor leading to the basement floor which provides excellent additional and useable living space. On the first floor there is a bedroom suite with bathroom room, four further bedrooms, one with en suite facilities.

Leading from the games room is a leisure complex measuring about 3,400 sq ft which is need of some modernisation. There is a swimming pool, changing rooms with plunge pool, gym, sauna, steam room, plant room and two storage rooms.

The house is approached by a long driveway via security gates giving a high degree of privacy. The driveway leads to a courtyard featuring three garages and a large outbuilding which would lend itself to conversion into an annex, subject to consent. There are formal gardens of about 2 acres with beautiful manicured lawns, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court and children’s play area.
