Haddlesey House is a grand Georgian manor offering 5,700 sq ft of flexible living across multiple floors. Set on roughly two-thirds of an acre, the south-facing plot includes mature gardens, a pond, orangery and a double garage with gated circular driveway — a rare combination for village living.
The house retains strong period character: high ceilings, large sash windows, a three-quarter stone staircase, stained hand-painted glass and a former studio space. Internal spaces include a ballroom/bar/snooker room, separate wing with self-contained accommodation, large kitchen footprint and formal reception rooms that suit multigenerational family life or entertaining on a large scale.
The property does require updating: the kitchen needs replacement, electrical work (possible rewiring) and general modernisation. Broadband is slow and there is no mobile signal on site, which may affect home working; council tax is high. The pricing reflects the renovation scope and offers clear potential to increase value through sympathetic refurbishment.
Practical green heating is already installed in the form of a biomass boiler with underfloor heating in parts of the house, which supports efficient heating for the large footprint. Haddlesey House will suit buyers seeking character, space and a countryside setting who are prepared to invest in refurbishment to personalise the property.
