Huntroyde Hall East is a rare, largely original historic home set in about 7.7 acres of Capability Brown–influenced parkland, offering grand reception rooms, original Adam-style marble fireplaces and stone-mullioned windows framing country views. The house combines 16th‑century origins with later Gothic and Victorian detailing across substantial accommodation including a principal suite, five further bedrooms and a tower room with mezzanine office.
For families or buyers seeking an estate with multi-generational or staff accommodation, the property includes a self-contained two‑bedroom apartment, significant outbuildings, workshop/office, garaging and courtyard parking. Leisure facilities such as a private lawn tennis court and extensive landscaped grounds make this estate well suited to entertaining and outdoor life.
The house is substantial and historically important but not without practical considerations. The fabric is mainly uninsulated sandstone/limestone as built; heating is by boiler/radiators supplemented by wood logs. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is very expensive—factors to weigh for modern living or running a business from home. Some cellar chambers and outbuildings offer scope for conversion, but the property will require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic restoration in keeping with its listed-style character.
Overall, Huntroyde Hall East will appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive country estate with significant heritage, generous grounds and flexible accommodation. It suits those prepared for the responsibilities and costs of caring for a large period property, and who value provenance, space and privacy over turnkey modern convenience.
