Description

Copt Hall is listed as Grade II of Architectural or Historic Interest, with attractive elevations of soft red brick with a central entrance door with evenly spaced sash windows under a clay tiled, mansard-style roof. Dating from the 18th century, with earlier origins, the house is a landmark property on the edge of the village and is available for the first time since 1974. The property has scope for improvements and enlargement, subject to receiving planning permission.

Located within the bustling village of Stock, there are a selection of pubs and eateries, a coffee shop, village and wine shop and a primary school all close at hand. The house adjoins the grounds of the Greenwoods Hotel and Spa.

The accommodation extends to approximately 2,100 sq ft over three floors. There are many period features including fireplaces, wood floors and sash windows. A central entrance door opens into a hall which includes a fireplace with wood burner, exposed trusses and a fine staircase rising to the first and second floors. The living room has a red-brick fireplace and a parquet-style floor. At the opposite end of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room, dual aspect to the front and rear. It includes an original red-brick fireplace and parquet flooring. At the rear is a lobby with cloakroom.

On the first floor are two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en suite). There are two further bedrooms on the second floor and a third room interlinked, with the possibility to create an en suite bathroom or sitting room.

Outside
The house has a frontage to the high street, retained by wrought-iron fencing. At one end a drive provides off-street parking and access to the garage/‘annexe’. The building includes a bedroom, a shower room and a garage. Although not formally an annexe, the potential exists to create one, subject to receiving planning permission. The plot overall extends to about a quarter of an acre and the house sits in the middle, with deep lawned front gardens and rear gardens with established boundaries and trees.
