5 bedroom detached house for sale

Part of our Signature collection, Rook Hall is a beautiful Grade II Listed property nestled in the sought-after village of Cressing. Thought to date back to the 16th Century, the property seamlessly blends historic period charm with elegant living spaces and modern conveniences.

Rook Hall is set in a mature plot of around an acre with double garage and ample off road parking.

On entering this remarkable family home the inner hallway provides access to two impressive reception rooms; the first of which is the formal dining room with an attractive red brick inglenook fireplace and a wealth of exposed beams. To the right is the lounge with an equally impressive inglenook fireplace and both rooms benefit from large sash windows to the front aspect.

The morning room is to the rear of the property with views of the garden and an abundance of light with two windows and a glass door. The kitchen is at the heart of the home with a range of high-quality bespoke wooden units providing ample storage. This leads into the breakfast room which is connected by an open timber frame. Beyond this are the utility room and pantry which are accessible via the rear lobby and downstairs cloakroom.

There are five bedrooms across the two upper floors with three well-proportioned double bedrooms and the family bathroom on the first floor. The generous principal bedroom is an exceptional space; a naturally light-filled room with a dual aspect to the front and rear, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.

The second bedroom also boasts a dual aspect with windows to the rear and side, whilst the third bedroom is set to the front of the property and also a good size. The family bathroom concludes the first floor accommodation and includes a corner bath and separate shower cubicle.

On the second floor are two further bedrooms, both with an abundance of charm and featuring exposed timbers. There is a versatile open loft space which could be utilised for many purposes, subject to requirements.

Brew House
To the right of the main house is the former Brew House with original bread oven; a wonderful addition offering renovation potential, which could see it transformed into a home office or annexe, subject to planning.

Outside
A private gravel driveway offers off-road parking for numerous vehicles and in-turn leads to a large double garage.

The impressive rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped by the current owners and provides a tranquil setting to the property. There are large expanses of lawn, mature hedges, flower beds, a pond, summer house, and a hidden vegetable plot.

There is potential to purchase additional land to the rear, which is available by separate negotiation.
