A rare Grade II* listed five-bedroom home dating from the 1600s, Old Hall retains extensive period detail including Georgian windows, original fireplaces and historic brickwork preserved with English Heritage. The house offers generous reception space — a dining kitchen, four further reception rooms, a study and snug — suited to families wanting character and flexible living areas.
The property sits in large, enclosed wrap-around lawns with mature trees, a stone courtyard and an original covered well. Outbuildings include a barn used for storage (potential home office/bar subject to planning) and an old bull pen; off-street parking is available via a generous rear tarmac area accessed under an archway (shared access with a neighbouring property).
Practical considerations: Grade II* listing will restrict alterations and may increase maintenance and repair costs; prospective buyers should budget for specialist conservation work. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the property is in a high council tax band — both factors that affect insurance and running costs. The barn and outbuildings would need planning permission to change use.
Location benefits include a highly regarded village setting with an outstanding primary school and local amenities, around 7 miles from Retford with rail links to London and easy A1 access. The house offers a distinctive historic home for families or buyers seeking a conservation property with scope for sympathetic upgrading.
