Stallington Hall Farm

Set in a prominent position within the small village of Stallington, Stallington Hall Farm is a most enchanting Grade II listed former farmhouse set in excess of half an acre of gardens. The rear part of the house is timber framed and dates back to the 17th century, with the Georgian frontage added in the late 18th century. The house has been lovingly refurbished by the current owners to provide spacious main house and attached cottage which has operated as a successful holiday let for in excess of a decade.

Entered via a wide original entrance door, the reception hall offers a generous welcome with doors radiating to the principal reception rooms.

The dual aspect sitting room benefits high ceilings and an open fire and has plenty of space for seating. The dining room with open fire flanks the opposite side of the entrance hall and makes the ideal entertaining room filled with natural light via the dual aspect windows overlooking the front and side gardens.

In the centre of the main house is the recently refitted kitchen breakfast room. Blending contemporary style with country charm, there is a range of two tone painted cabinetry set beneath a wood effect worksurface.

The Cottage

Found within the original 17th century and timber frame part of Stallington Hall Farm is The Cottage, which takes on a different character with exposed timbers throughout.
