9 bedroom detached house for sale

This attractive detached brick and stone built home is not listed and is thought to date back to the mid-Victorian era. In the 1950's it was extended in a very sympathetic way adding large entertaining rooms, the kitchen, and the majority of the bedrooms. The house provides flexible living accommodation with potential to further extend and modernise, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.

The accommodation is full of light with a welcoming entrance hall with a log burner and parquee flooring. From here doors lead to the principal reception rooms including the dining room which looks east with views over the Hangers.

There is a large statement staircase which leads up to the first floor to a spacious landing. From here there is access to a large principal suite with wonderful rural views as well as a bathroom and dressing room with full height fitted wardrobes. There are six/seven further bedrooms and two bathrooms on this floor. Stairs lead up to an extensive attic floor which could be converted to create further residential accommodation if required, subject to the necessary consents. The house currently uses the estate drive which winds past The Goldings and into the west-facing parking area to the front of the property. The drive does divide just before the house and another route takes you to the redundant period farm buildings and more modern agricultural buildings.

The gardens at Hay Place are exceptionally quiet and private. The kitchen garden slopes up away from the house to a large south-facing wall, perfect for growing a number of fruits and vegetables. The main garden sweeps around the house and is divided by mature hedging which focuses the eye over the Hanger and wildlife beyond. There is also a lovely private wooded path from the house down to the Hanger and farmland beyond. In addition, there is a tennis court and swimming pool however these both need to be brought back into working condition.

Lying to the south of the house are the beautiful period farm buildings, thought to date back to the mid-Victorian era. They consist of a number of carports, stores, a spacious shoot room and a large barn that has been used in the past for family weddings and events.

The barns are not listed and the current owners have been able to secure Planning Permission to convert the buildings into four residential units totalling approximately 10,453 sq ft of living accommodation. More detail can be found on the Local Authority Planning Portal, under the reference SDN/20/03541/FUL.

There are also three modern steel framed farm buildings which need renovation but are still used for farming, storage, as well as vehicle and machinery storage for agriculture.
