Believed to date back to the 1500s, with later additions, this remarkable Grade II Listed Hall House is set in an elevated position atop Wierton Hill, a quiet and highly sought-after country lane, offering panoramic countryside views.
Set within approximately 9 acres of beautiful grounds, including sweeping lawns, an orchard, woodland, and a productive kitchen garden, this historic residence also benefits from a detached cottage, three-bay garage, workshop, heritage-style greenhouse, and tennis court.
Spanning three floors, the main house exudes character, showcasing period features such as exposed stone walls, large stone inglenook fireplaces with oak bressumer beams, stone hearths, and polished stone flooring. Throughout the home, you'll also find oak beams, wide board floors, latch doors, and solid wood staircases.
The ground floor includes a generous entrance hall, a dual-aspect drawing room and sitting room, both with open fireplaces and a formal dining room with a stone floor that flows into a cosy snug. The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room features a central island with granite worktops, a traditional AGA, integrated appliances, and a rear door leading out to the terrace. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a cloakroom, utility room, and a boiler/boot room with external access.
Two staircases lead to the first floor, where the principal suite offers a dual aspect bedroom, dressing room, and ensuite. Two further double bedrooms also enjoy ensuites, while a fourth double bedroom benefits from its own bathroom, accessed via a separate staircase which continues to an attic store. The second floor houses an additional bedroom suite with a double bedroom, sitting area, and shower room, ideal for a nanny, guests, or multigenerational living.
The detached cottage, a converted barn, offers flexible secondary accommodation. The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen/living space, while the first floor provides a double bedroom, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom.
The orchard is a true highlight, home to a diverse selection of fruit and nut trees, including apple, pear, plum, cherry, apricot, medlar, quince, mulberry, sloe, and elder. Nut trees include hazelnut, cobnut, and walnut, offering seasonal produce and an idyllic rural setting.
The property is currently operating as Airbnb rental, generating a strong income while still offering the flexibility to be used as a private family home. Its distinctive period features, comprehensive amenities, and picturesque setting make it a sought-after retreat for guests looking for a countryside getaway.
