Originally part of the Howard / Greystoke Family estate, with the original house having been in situ since the 12th Century, Dufton Hall as it is presented today is a most impressive Grade II listed building, the current property dating to the late 17th Century.
A much loved family home for our clients for over the 30 years, the property is in great order, having been thoroughly renovated and improved during their tenure of ownership and retains a wide range of original internal and external features including a carved sandstone porticoed doorway, oak panelling, doors and woodwork throughout and an impressive oak "dog leg" staircase.
Decorated to enhance the uniqueness of the property the accommodation comprises to the ground floor a wonderful reception hallway, with decorative plaster mouldings, sandstone pillars and an Inglenook fireplace. From here a short passage leads to the kitchen dining room whilst another hallway connects the sitting room, games room and downstairs shower room. Also leading off the reception hall is a study, which has a connecting door to the rear of the building.
To the first floor are 4 double bedrooms, and a 5th single bedroom, adjacent to bedroom 1, which has the potential to be incorporated as a dressing room or ensuite, or to house a staircase up to a potential attic conversion incorporating seventeenth century "A" frame oak beams.
Also to the first floor is a generously proportioned 7 piece bathroom with a feature freestanding bath, views to the fells at the rear and a mezzanine floor above with a Jacuzzi and sauna.
Positioned just off the village green, with views from the upper floors to the Pennines and Eden Valley, the house sits in mature formal grounds. With a fine set of traditional gates from the main road through the village, and a second entrance with electrically operated gates to the side, the gardens are laid out in a low maintenance classic style with beech hedging and lawns, along with a pond and wetland area making it a haven for wildlife.
Hidden from view is a generous sized heated workshop, with hot and cold water, power and light, giving the potential for a further source of income. The workshop also houses the biomass boiler system, which provides heavily subsidised heating and hot water.
A fabulous opportunity for a discerning purchase, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.

From Penrith follow the A66 east, taking the left hand turning towards Dufton having passed through the village of Kirkby Thore. Follow the signs to reach the village. Head through the village green and take the turning to the left which then forks right into The Ride. The hall is straight ahead.
