Set on the edge of Willoughby Waterleys, The Old Hall is a Grade II listed Georgian house that combines period charm with considerate modern upgrades. Sympathetically updated by the current owners, the house offers generous reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen with range cooker, and underfloor heating across the ground and first floors for comfortable year-round living.
Four double bedrooms occupy the first floor, each with high ceilings, exposed timbers and wide views over the private, south-facing gardens. Ground-floor living is versatile: a cosy sitting room with wood burner, formal dining room, snug and a practical utility room provide family-friendly circulation and separation of spaces.
Outside the plot is a major asset — very large, beautifully landscaped and principally walled with specimen trees, borders, fishpond, summer house and a purpose-built garden office/gym with power and lighting. Gravel driveways and gated brick piers provide ample off-street parking and a discreet approach from the lane.
Practical points to note: the house is listed Grade II which will restrict alterations and may complicate some upgrades. The EPC is exempt and services have not been tested; council tax is in the higher band. For a family seeking a character home in a tranquil rural village, this property offers plentiful space, mature gardens and countryside access, balanced with the responsibilities that come with a historic listing.
