Northwold Hall is a substantial country residence set within approximately 20 acres (subject to survey), offering a rare combination of period character and extensive equestrian facilities. The house presents generous reception rooms, a 40ft Georgian-style orangery and a spectacular vaulted kitchen with two islands and underfloor heating — spaces designed for family living and entertaining on a large scale.
The estate includes a stable yard with ménage, post-and-rail paddocks, large storage barns, a detached bungalow (suitable for staff or guests), a private tennis court, a small lake and a helicopter pad. Modern resilience features — solar panels and a backup generator — reduce reliance on mains power and add practical value for rural ownership.
Practical considerations are material: the property is oil-heated with boiler and electric storage heaters, the main walls are solid brick (assumed uninsulated), and council tax is described as very expensive. The house was constructed circa 1930–1949, so while many original decorative features survive, some fabric and systems may require ongoing maintenance or upgrading.
This estate will suit buyers seeking privacy, equestrian capability and country-scale entertaining space. It also appeals to those who value a turn-key, characterful home combined with potential for further land acquisition or adaptation, but buyers should allow budget for energy-efficiency improvements and higher running costs associated with oil heating and older construction.
