4 bedroom character property for sale

The Grange is a distinguished Grade II listed four-bedroom detached home of stone and brick construction, complemented by a separate coach house, mature gardens, paddock land with a private lake, and areas of established woodland, offering a rare blend of historic charm and potential for modernisation, all set in the sought-after village of Hallaton.

Ground Floor - Rich in character and history, the property retains an abundance of original architectural features, including stone flagged floors, ornate coving, stone mullioned and leaded windows, marble and stone fireplaces, and lofty ceilings. While the accommodation would benefit from a sympathetic program of modernisation, The Grange offers a rare opportunity to create a truly exceptional family residence in a picturesque setting.

A solid wooden front door opens into an entrance hall with stone flagged flooring, decorative archways, and original coving—an impressive introduction to the scale and character of the house. To the left lies the dual-aspect breakfast kitchen, fitted with timber units, a central island with breakfast bar, and an oil-fired Aga, with direct access to the gardens and an adjoining cloakroom.

The drawing room is light and airy, with two south-facing windows framing views of the gardens and grounds, while a fine marble fireplace forms a striking centrepiece. The morning room is an elegant space, its bay window offering views across the gardens towards the village church, complemented by a traditional stone fireplace. Completing the reception rooms is the dining room, richly atmospheric with half-panelled walls, a handsome stone fireplace, a staircase rising to the first floor, and access to the cellars and a further cloakroom.

First & Second Floor - The staircase rises to a generous first-floor landing, leading to the bedroom and bathroom accommodation. The principal bedroom enjoys breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside and includes a dressing area with wardrobes and an ensuite WC. Two further bedrooms, both well-proportioned and full of character, are complemented by a smaller fourth bedroom currently used as a study. Two bathrooms serve this level, with excellent scope to reconfigure into a luxurious principal suite and additional family facilities.

A secondary staircase leads to the top floor, where four further rooms provide outstanding flexibility. These versatile spaces lend themselves perfectly to additional bedrooms, guest accommodation, home offices, or leisure rooms, further enhancing the potential of the property.

Outside - The Grange is set within superb mature gardens featuring sweeping lawns, established trees, and colourful herbaceous borders. Beyond the formal gardens, the grounds extend to include paddock land, a tranquil lake, and areas of mature woodland, creating an idyllic environment for equestrian pursuits, outdoor leisure, or wildlife enthusiasts. Within the grounds stands a traditional coach house, offering exciting potential for conversion, subject to planning, into guest accommodation, a home office, or a leisure facility.

The Grange represents a rare opportunity to acquire an important historic home of immense charm and potential. With its wealth of period features, extensive and flexible accommodation, and outstanding grounds, it offers the perfect canvas for creating a truly remarkable family residence.

Planning Permission - The main property is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with planning permission to extend to six bedrooms and five bathrooms by converting the top floor. Planning permission has also been granted for a sweeping driveway leading to the property via stone double gates. Work has already commenced on both the conversion and the new entrance, making the planning permissions permanent.
The Barn further benefits from planning permission to be converted into two holiday lets, with work required to commence by February 2027.
