Exhall Court is a handsome brick-built period farmhouse dating from about 1870, with fine Victorian elevations. The house has generous accommodation and well-proportioned reception rooms and bedrooms, with lovely period features including some flagstone floors, fireplaces, some with marble surrounds, handsome cornices and solid timber panelled doors.

The property is ready for updating and refurbishing. The library is lined with bookshelves and has a wood burner. The dining room has south-facing French doors to the garden. The Garden room also has French doors to outside. The sitting room has windows to three sides and the drawing room has windows to the south and west.
The kitchen/breakfast room has an oil-fired Aga, flagstone floor, vaulted ceiling with exposed roof truss and purlins, and granite worktops and is served by pantries, boot room and utility/boiler room. There is a freezer room and garden WC accessed from outside.

The oak staircase rises to a large landing. Some bedrooms have cast iron and marble Victorian fireplaces, and most are south-facing. There is a first-floor cloakroom with WC and basin, a family bathroom with separate shower and generously sized en suite shower room with two showers to the principal bedroom.

The accommodation of the house extends to about 4,220 square feet, and a staircase from the landing rises to the second floor, where there are five attic rooms extending to about a further 1,863 square feet, ready to provide substantial additional accommodation (subject to any necessary consents).

The Coach House is accessed off a separate drive, which serves a small development of houses created from the former farm buildings to Exhall Court. The Coach House is a substantial secondary house to Exhall Court, ideal for an extended family or guests or to provide a useful income.

The Coach House has a 25-foot-long main reception room with a fireplace with woodburner and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances as well as a study. There is a cloakroom off the hall, and to the first floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom and exposed roof truss timbers.
Outside, it is equipped with flood defences due to the proximity of the stream running through the garden. Attached to The Coach House is a garden store and the double garage for the main house.

Gardens & grounds

Exhall Court is set back from the village lane with a gravel drive and parking area. The house is set in lovely gardens, with trees including Wellingtonia, walnut, mulberry, yew, holly, holm oak and acacia, and adorned with wisteria and roses.

The Coach House has a partly walled formal garden with topiary.

There is a greenhouse and orchard with walnut, apple, quince trees and spring bulbs.
The parkland field lies to the east of the garden and was the subject of an extensive tree-planting programme by the present owners to create a wonderful setting for the house. The field also contains two ponds.

On the opposite side of the access road to The Coach House are two grass fields, divided by the stream, and currently grazed with sheep on a 24-month grazing licence. There is a long road frontage to the land.
