Bishops Hall is a substantial Grade II listed former public house set on a prominent roadside plot in the village of Ashen. The house retains carved oak beams, inglenook fireplaces, sash and mullion windows, and quarry-tiled floors — character features that give the home immediate period appeal. Generous reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with pantry, and a study create flexible family living across an expansive 2,315 sq ft footprint.
Upstairs are three large double bedrooms, all with exposed beams and attractive church or countryside views; the principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage and an en suite. The extensive rear garden includes a paved alfresco dining terrace, expansive lawns, a wooded wildlife area and useful outbuildings — attractive for family life, entertaining and hobby gardeners. Parking is generous with a carriage driveway and space for multiple vehicles.
Practical details to note: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate extensions or modernisation. Heating is oil-fired and the drainage is private, so buyers should budget for ongoing servicing and fuel costs. Council Tax is in Band F (£3,170.08 pa) and the building’s age and listed status may mean higher maintenance and specialist repair requirements.
This home will suit buyers wanting a character-filled village house with wide external space and strong potential for sympathetic improvement rather than those seeking a turnkey, modern property. Its rural setting, good broadband speeds and proximity to Clare and Sudbury make it a viable choice for family living or a countryside relocation with commuter links to larger towns.
