Summary - ELDER HALL, BRUISYARD ROAD IP17 2HG
1 bed 2 bath Detached
Five-bedroom country home with lake, manege and year‑round heated pool.
Five generous double bedrooms, principal en‑suite
Elder Hall is a substantial five-double-bedroom country home set within about 19.43 acres, offering a rare combination of leisure, equestrian and lifestyle facilities ideal for an active family. The property presents a wide range of usable outdoor space — paddocks, woodland, a lake, manege, modern tennis court and a large 3,000 sq ft barn — plus a covered heated pool with retractable roof for year‑round use. A detached summerhouse/guest annexe and generous parking with cart-lodge give flexible accommodation and practical convenience.
Internally the house retains period character: exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a rustic farmhouse kitchen with large utility and pantry spaces. The principal suite and four further doubles provide family-sized sleeping accommodation, while versatile reception rooms adapt easily for home working, hobbies or children’s play. The annexe and barn also create scope for multi-generational living or ancillary rental/guest use (subject to consents).
There are some practical points to note. The main heating relies heavily on solid fuel (wood logs/room heaters) with an oil boiler for the pool; EPC rating is D and the timber-frame parts are assumed uninsulated which will affect running costs and may require insulation improvements. Approximately 10 acres are currently cultivated by a neighbouring farmer under an informal agreement that can be ended by the incoming buyer. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as quite expensive; a public footpath crosses part of the drive.
Overall this is a rare, large-scale family property with exceptional outdoor amenities and clear potential for improvement or adaptation. Buyers seeking privacy, equestrian use and lifestyle space will find this an attractive proposition, but should plan for energy upgrades and consider service limitations such as broadband and drainage arrangements before purchase.
