Barnhill Hall is an extended Grade II listed country house set within approximately 1.5–1.6 acres of formal gardens, paddock and a storybook moat. The home retains abundant original features — exposed beams, stone-flagged floors, timber fittings and period fireplaces — and offers generous reception spaces including a large living room, cosy sitting room and a substantial kitchen diner with solid oak units and stone flooring. A detached oversized garage and extensive gravel courtyard provide significant parking and outbuilding potential.
Internally the property is arranged as principal reception rooms on the ground floor with utility and cloakroom, and a first-floor gallery landing leading to four double en-suite bedrooms (floorplans indicate scope for a fifth bedroom). The principal suite includes a private balcony and a large four-piece en-suite; several bedrooms retain bespoke fitted cabinetry. LPG-fired boilers and radiator heating serve the house.
The house presents clear restoration potential but will require modernisation throughout. Its Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment plans; some works and specialist consents should be expected. Practical drawbacks include slow broadband, reliance on LPG fuel, above-average local crime figures and higher-than-average council tax, all factors to weigh alongside the property’s rarity and expansive plot.
For a family seeking a distinctive period home with privacy, significant outside space and character intact, Barnhill Hall offers an exceptional canvas. Buyers wanting immediate turnkey accommodation should note the renovation requirements and listing limitations; those prepared to invest can create a striking country residence with strong long-term appeal.
