Sparlings Hall is a substantial five-bedroom Georgian country house set on in excess of 2.5 acres (STS), offering broad field views, mature gardens and a pocket of woodland. The house retains many period features — exposed beams, brick fireplaces and high vaulted spaces — while benefitting from modern additions such as a bright garden room and upgraded double glazing (post-2002).
The ground floor offers flexible reception space with four distinct rooms, a vaulted kitchen/breakfast room and useful utility space. Upstairs are five well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a principal bedroom with ensuite; the family bathroom features a freestanding bath beneath a skylight. The plot and layout suit family life, home working or hobby farming, with generous parking from a private drive.
Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating, very slow broadband and solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation. Council tax is described as expensive, and the property sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood and wider area classed as established farming communities with limited local services. The house is sold freehold and chain free, presenting a straightforward purchase but offering scope for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating to increase comfort and value.
This property will particularly appeal to buyers seeking rural privacy, outdoor space and character, who are prepared to invest in modernising heating and insulation or who prioritise location and plot size over urban convenience.
