Description
Hartfield Hall, is an exceptional country house of character. Approached over a long tree-lined private driveway, the property is a modern re-creation of a Wealden Hall House in a delightful setting with a wonderful feeling of space and a high degree of privacy.
The striking galleried reception hall is the hub of the house, opening onto a spacious drawing room, with inglenook fireplace, and an equally generously proportioned kitchen, fitted and equipped to exacting standards. Between and connecting the two is a wonderful conservatory. Designed for year-round use, this impressive reception space with extensive bi-fold doors, commands a glorious southerly outlook across the paved terraces, established lilly ponds and the sweeping lawns bounded by a meandering stream.
At over 4,600 sq ft, the accommodation is well suited to family living. Five bedrooms, three of which are dual-aspect with en suite bathrooms, open off the impressive galleried landing. The stunning triple-aspect principal bedroom, positioned at the rear of the house, is configured over two floors with an open stairway leading to an private dressing room and bathroom on the floor above.
The main house is completed by a versatile family/games room, possibly sixth bedroom, occupying the majority the top floor, with dormer windows set into the steeply pitched tiled roof, and a fifth bathroom.
There is an additional one bedroom cottage extending to almost 1,500 sq ft which sits well with the main house and the other outbuildings making ideal accommodation for an independently-minded relative or housekeeper.
This unique house and its environs have been lovingly cared for and regularly enhanced and updated. With scope for further development of the barns and machine stores subject to all relevant required permissions, a new owner would be able to enjoy this highly desirable home with the opportunity to add their own style and facilities as their needs dictate.
