A rare fragment of Wallingwells Hall, this Grade II listed 17th‑century manor occupies over an acre of landscaped grounds and paddock in a peaceful hamlet. The west‑facing Georgian façade, sash windows and high ceilings deliver strong period character while the house layout suits family life: five bedrooms including a principal en‑suite, two reception rooms and a library corridor. Mature trees, a pond and an orchard create a private, countryside setting with direct walks into woodland and farmland.
The current owners have carried out restoration work and blended modern comforts with original features; there remains scope for further updating and personalisation. Practical benefits include a utility/boot room, off‑street parking for multiple vehicles and mains gas central heating. Flooding risk is low and the property is freehold, set within an affluent rural area with low crime.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will require consent for many alterations and may complicate repairs or extensions. Broadband speeds are very slow and the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so energy performance and connectivity may need investment. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and some sympathetic maintenance is likely to be needed to preserve historic fabric.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a distinctive country residence with generous grounds and historic provenance. It offers immediate occupiable living with renovation potential for long‑term value, provided purchasers are comfortable with listed‑building responsibilities and rural utilities.
