Description
Broadfield Hall, a stunning 9-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence, is a remarkable property that has just come onto the market for the first time since 2008. Set on a historic site with deep roots in the medieval settlement of Broadfield, as well as The Hall this estate includes the charming 3-bedroom Jasmine Cottage and a Grade II* Listed Coach House designed by the esteemed architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.
Broadfield Hall is rich in history, having been commissioned by the Pulter family. The estate’s stable block façade, designed by Hawksmoor when he was a junior draftsman for Sir Christopher Wren, stands as a testament to this history. Hawksmoor, who later contributed to iconic structures such as St. Paul’s Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace, and Kensington Palace, left his mark on Broadfield Hall with his signature arches at the entrance of the coach house.
The main house, built in 1939 by William Harston in a sophisticated art deco style, offers grand living spaces filled with natural light, making it perfect for entertaining. With four elegant reception rooms, a large kitchen, and spacious bedrooms, this home exudes both charm and functionality. Moreover, planning permission has recently existed for a 12,000-square-foot replacement dwelling on three floors, complete with a basement pool, presenting an exciting opportunity for future development.
Jasmine Cottage, originally the housekeeper's cottage, underwent a complete renovation in 2010 and remains in excellent condition. Its single-floor layout makes it ideal for older parents, multigenerational living, or rental opportunities due to its separate entrance.
The Grade II* Listed Coach House adds further appeal to the estate. It features three Victorian stables currently used by the owners for their horses, as well as a two-bedroom flat that offers potential for staff accommodation or office space after refurbishment. The coach house also provides additional space that could be converted into stables, garages, or workshops. Planning permission has previously existed to reconfigure this building, allowing for the creation of additional bedrooms and living spaces.
Broadfield Hall is a unique and versatile estate, offering a blend of historical significance, luxurious living spaces, and future potential. With its rich architectural heritage, ample accommodation, and development opportunities, this property represents a rare and exciting opportunity for discerning buyers.
