It is so close to much that Nottingham and Derby have to offer. 'What are the best things about living on this sought-after road?' And these are some of the things they had to say... It's only four miles from Nottingham, but also has some great restaurants nearby like The Cod's Scallops, Sat Bains, Cafe Royal, Frustrated Chef and Suda deli. A lot of people like The White Lion pub - particular for Sunday Lunch - and it's within walking distance. There are so many local parks and woodland walks, it is great for getting out and walking your dog - without having to drive anywhere. You can be walking around the lake at Wollaton Hall in around 30 minutes on foot. If that is too much effort, then the area site itself is such a green environment with tree lined roads all around. Beeston Cinema and Social opening have really added to the already vibrant independent retail, food and drink scene in the town. Accessibility was key for me. Living on Cow Lane we're so close to Nottingham, but also Junction 25 of the M1. You can also get a train to London from Beeston station which is great for me, both for business and taking the kids there for the day. Bramcote makes a great place to live if you work at Boots Headquarters, University of Nottingham or The Queen's Medical Centre. The school catchment for Cow Lane is strong, being in the area for Fernwood, George Spencer and Bramcote CofE school. There are also independent schools nearby: Trent College, The Elms and Nottingham High School. Nottingham Girls' High School is within five miles.

Coastal contemporary within brick and flint charm. DescriptionSunbeams, set in the heart of the coastal village of Cley, is an exceptional Grade II listed home of scale and style. With the highly appealing mix of mellow red brick, Norfolk flint and a lime render framing Georgian sash windows, it gives little away to the contemporary edge within, including polished concrete floors and open-plan living spaces. Add in a characterful annexe run as a successful Airbnb, a converted granary, with mixed use consent, that could be used in many ways, alongside the hallowed off-street parking that is crucial for stress-free coastal living, and Sunbeams has an adaptability to suit many lifestyles.Formerly an 18th century inn and maltings, the house was the subject of a thorough overhaul and renovation, with a collaboration of ideas between our client and their architects to transform the house sympathetically. The results are visually impressive and entirely practical for 21st century living.Principal HouseThe living space at Sunbeams has a convenient mix of open plan and more cosy areas to enjoy. The epicentre of life at the house is the fabulous open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, double height to the rafters, an abundance of natural light thanks to heritage velux windows and plenty of south facing glazing. The seamless polished concrete floor, which runs the entirety of the ground floor, and sharp lines of the kitchen cabinetry, blend with the original exposed beams and lime plaster walls, whilst bi-fold doors out to the courtyard bring the outside in. Adaptable, atmospheric LED Hue lighting is set into the beams and superfast Cat6 ethernet cabling runs throughout the house. There is a 1TB fibre optic internet connection direct to the house.A large opening leads to a further open-plan area, a more formal space used as a living room, with a wood burner adding to the atmosphere, flowing into the staircase hall with a distinctive oak staircase.A more snug TV room is a private space to enjoy, with functionality provided by a laundry, a useful ground floor shower room to hose muddy dogs and children, and a further utility.The bedrooms are over the first and second floor, with great ceiling height and natural light. The principal bedroom is charming, with double sash windows with shutters, en suite bath/shower room and built-in storage, with a further three bedrooms with lovely detail including original paneling and cupboards. These rooms are served by the family bathroom. Two separate sets of stairs lead to the converted attic space, with two studies including one with a view of Cley marshes and the coastline, storage room, and a spacious bedroom with vaulted ceilings and en suite shower room.AnnexeSelf-contained from the main house, yet linked via a corridor providing the opportunity to incorporate into the house if needed, the annexe is a thoughtful conversion, currently a brilliant Airbnb yielding a useful income. The tone is set by an impressive entrance hall, double height with curved flint wall and staircase. This leads to a first floor open-plan kitchen and living area, with heritage veluxes for natural light and exposed beams. There is a comfortable double bedroom on the ground floor, with adjoining bathroom, and a further bedroom currently used as a library.GranaryAgain self-contained, yet with direct access from the annexe, is the granary. This is a highly adaptable space that could be used in many different ways. It is an inspiring space with high ceilings up to the rafters - again with adaptable, atmospheric LED Hue lighting set into the beams - with a main room of about 6.9m x 6.6m. Off the main room is a WC and shower, and a store room with direct access out to the parking area.Stairs lead up to a first floor room, with velux windows. The granary is one for the imagination to dictate how it is used, whether it be a games room or gym, further Airbnb, work from home space, art studio or a combination of the aforementioned. It is an asset to the overall package.OutsideBeing at the centre of a coastal village, the coastline, to a large extent, is your garden. Whether it be swimming, kayaking or boating through the creeks close by, wandering the coastal paths or heading up to the village playing field with its playground, these are all on your doorstep.The current owners, therefore, focused on ease of maintenance and lifestyle when defining the outside space of Sunbeams. With two courtyards, both south facing and set between the main house and the annexe and granary, they make excellent sun traps for outside dining, entertaining or simply relaxing. The first courtyard, with yorkstone paving and a wonderfully old olive tree at the centre, is where you spill out from the bi-folds of the dining area, or stable door of the kitchen. This courtyard has plenty of space for seating, and has a brick and flint outdoor kitchen area with pizza oven and Argentinian grill. The adjoining second courtyard, separated by brick and flint wall and attractive door, is laid to artificial grass for ease, with further olive trees, lavender beds and wood store completing the Mediterranean feel from both areas. A pedestrian door leads out to the parking area and village.Essential for a coastal house of this calibre, in such a central location, there is an off-street gravelled parking area adjoining the house for three cars.LocationCley-next-the-Sea is one of the most authentic coastal villages of North Norfolk, with a rich history. The village was one of the busiest ports in England, which formed the wealth to create the wonderful buildings that the village enjoys, from fishermans' cottages to merchants' houses.Today it offers an eclectic range of shops on the doorstep including the Crabpot Bookshop, Pinkfoot gallery, Cley Smokehouse, Made in Cley, and the renowned Picnic Fayre delicatessen. There are two pubs, The George and Three Swallows, and the well-known Wiveton Hall Cafe just up the hill from the village.As an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the coastline from the village and as a whole is an inspiring and uplifting landscape to be amongst. The shingle beach of Cley has become a magnet for local sea swimmers, whilst the coastal path leads to Blakeney, with further pubs, galleries and bakery and east to Salthouse with the popular Dun Cow public house. The area is renowned globally for its birdwatching, with the Cley reserve notable as the oldest Norfolk Wildlife Trust reserve, purchased in 1926.For keen sailors, or boat enthusiasts, you can keep a boat in the harbour and follow the creeks through the reed beds, winding round to Blakeney and their resident seals, whilst also providing excellent sailing.The Georgian town of Holt is to the south, with a plethora of boutique shops, cafes, delicatessens and a Michelin-starred restaurant, alongside Bakers & Larners department store and supermarket, and essential facilities such as GP surgery, dentist and post office. The highly regarded Gresham's School, pre-prep, prep, and senior, is on the edge of the town, with Beeston Hall prep school further along the coast to the east.Square Footage: 6,146 sq ft Acreage: 0.16 Acres Additional InfoServicesMains electricity, water and drainage and oil fired central heating.

Coastal splendour and charm, with direct sea views and private walled gardens. DescriptionUmgeni is magical, a house full of surprises with the atmosphere of a timeless country house combined with a dream coastal home. The house, with its classic Dutch Gables that are integral to Cley sits high on an unmade track above the coast road in Cley, veiled by olive trees and roses, pretty much opposite the Beach Road, with uninterrupted views over the reedbeds and marshland to the sea. The informal brick and flint front elevation is discreet and belies the sense of lush garden scents and planting when you step through the wooden gates and enter over half an acre of wonderfully private south facing walled garden.Internally the house continues to surprise. The staircase is a feat of high quality craftsmanship, and the interior is true to the first impression with an eclectic mix of colour, design, architectural and decorative features that brings to mind the creatives of the Bloomsbury Group and Arts & Crafts movement, while the large windows capture the very best views of the marsh, and the sea also fill the house with light from the south, connecting you to the lovely garden and the seaside from within the house.The front door opens to a half landing in an elegant stairwell, from which you step down to the ground floor entrance hall with panelled walls and stone flooring.Beyond, the kitchen is informally fitted, with a lovely mix of wooden bespoke units, a unique central island and an oversized Belfast sink backed with vintage mirrored tiles. Integrated appliances include an electric Aga and a Miele dishwasher. There is a good-sized pantry cupboard, and a pretty glass fronted crockery cabinet. Painted wooden floorboards run throughout and a large sunny window overlooks the coast.Step up from the kitchen into a sunny south facing dining room with wooden flooring, gracefully panelled walls and a generous window overlooking the garden. A glazed door opens from here to a small south facing terrace with steps into the garden, perfect for alfresco dining. Also, on this floor is a cosy, half panelled snug with pamment flooring, exposed beams (saved from a long-ago shipwreck) and views to the garden. There is also a utility and boot room with a Belfast sink.Taking the stairs to the second floor where the sunny hall has a large bay window with a window seat to make the most of the sea views. On this floor the drawing room is a large, bright, south and west facing room with a marble mantlepiece and wood burning stove, French windows open to stone steps that lead down to the more formal part of the garden.The main bedroom is up a few steps on its own small landing, a beautifully proportioned room, with a high ceiling, an original cast-iron fireplace and views to the coast at the front. From the semi open plan en suite bathroom, French windows open onto a charming semi- circular iron balcony with a stunning Magnolia Grandiflora growing through it, arguably the best spot in the house to overlook the garden with your morning cuppa! The bathroom has a traditional Victorian style suite, an original oversized caste iron bathtub, which we understand had to be brought in through the window! There is a further WC on this floor- certainly a loo with a view.Following on up to the next half landing, the full height arched window gives incredible evening light as it faces the western end of the house. From here you can see the tide change on Blakeney Point and enjoy the sunsets.The third floor has a single bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a nice double room with fireplace, both overlook the gardens. There is a family shower room on this floor.At either end of the house, further staircases lead to two bedrooms with tent effect ceilings, both have spectacular window views in the Dutch gables to the coast side, and then both have verdant beautiful views over the garden and one has a slit window with a special view to Cley windmill.The larger room is a spacious double with north and south aspect and a working fireplace, this room incorporates a bathroom with another original Victorian cast iron bath. The other top bedroom is another spacious double with triple aspect windows, and the vendors had considered putting a bathroom on this floor too.OutsideThe south elevation of the house is pretty and elegant with artistically pleasing proportions and decorative painted shutters. The mellow brick and flint elevation is covered with wisteria and roses that complement the painted windows, lovely old York stone steps and the delicate iron balcony.Near to the house is a formal area of garden with a Mediterranean/Coastal feel with palm trees, a tamarisk, mown lawn, and herbaceous borders filled with an abundance of flowers.From here the garden steps up and up, meandering via mown paths through a larger entertaining terrace to a much less formal area where daisy strewn pathways lead you through a wildflower nature haven that is low maintenance and so pretty, interspersed with an abundance of tree peonies, bluebells, shrub roses, hollyhocks, cow parsley, magnolia grandiflora and so much more, it is truly heavenly. There are also many fruit trees, including apple, plum, medlar, and pear and even a mulberry tree and a vegetable garden with raised beds and fruit canes.But for those who love to look out from their own world, the overriding wonder of this garden is its amazing privacy combined with the extraordinary views. Planting and terraces have been structured to artfully reveal evermore incredible vistas of the coast, the sunset, the creeks and the red sailed boats that glide in on a high tide to Cley Harbour. From this point, you really do feel you are on top of the world, or at least the North Norfolk Coastline, and you can see all the way to Wells-next-the- Sea. Up here is the wooden writer's studio that offers so many potential uses. With mains power, it sits at the very top of the garden with a wooden decked area, there probably couldn't be a better place for a sundowner!Nearer to the house, further outbuildings provide a utility room which houses an oil-fired boiler, and a radiator and Belfast sink, and washing machines, so you can get all of the clutter out of the house to a warm functional outhouse. Adjacent to this, another barn houses the oil tank and wood store and then the single garage, with a loft area above which could be extended if required and makes a great office space.This is a very special house that must be seen to really appreciate all it has to offer. It is surprisingly rare to find a lovely character house, in such a location with a generous, private garden with some of Norfolk's finest views.LocationThe highly sought after village of Cley was formerly an old 18th Century port and retains many attractive brick and flint cottages alongside grander merchant's houses. Today it offers an eclectic range of shops on the doorstop including the Crab Pot Bookshop, Pinkfoot gallery, Cley Smokehouse, Made in Cley, and the renowned Picnic Fayre delicatessen. The village benefits from St Margaret's Church an architectural delight, two pubs and nearby Wiveton Hall Cafe.This is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Conservation Area, Cley has a fabulous shingle beach which is within easy walking distance, perfect for swimming and family picnics, and offers easy access to the saltmarshes and Blakeney Point with many ways of whiling away leisure hours including sailing, seal trips, cycling, golf, amazing coastal walking and fine beaches. The Cley marshes wildlife reserve dates from 1926 and makes this one of the very best places for birdwatching.If you want to keep a boat in Cley harbour, (a three-minute walk) it is free, and whether a canoe, paddleboard or a small traditional boat, setting out from here through the reeds is a wonderful experience.Just 4 miles to the south is the Georgian market town of Holt, renowned for its attractive street frontages and for its wide and eclectic range of independent shops. As well as Bakers & Larners department store, there are boutiques, cafes and bars, doctors' surgery, dentist, and post office. Holt is also home to the highly regarded Gresham's School, pre-prep, prep, and senior..Square Footage: 2,703 sq ft Acreage: 0.57 Acres Additional InfoServicesMains electricity, water and drainage and oil fired central heating.Local AuthorityNorth Norfolk District CouncilCouncil Tax Band GFixtures & FittingsAll fixtures and fittings including fitted carpets and curtains are specifically excluded from the sale, but may be available in addition, subject to separate negotiation.

Wonderfully positioned farmhouse with un-blighted peace and privacy, with principal farmhouse, party barn, substantial barn conversion, outbuildings and delightful grounds of 4.6 acres DescriptionMoor Hall Farm is quite simply one of the best positioned houses in North Norfolk. Enjoying complete peace and seclusion, tucked away in unspoilt countryside, with no near and certainly no visible neighbours the farm is an increasingly rare proposition.Set in 4.3 acres of wild flower meadows and gardens, the 18th & 19th century collection of unlisted farm buildings were expertly converted, and indeed award-winning, to provide a handsome principal house, a performance/party barn, a 3 bedroom holiday letting barn, and associated outbuildings providing workshops, storage and covered car parking. This affords tremendous lifestyle opportunities.The FarmhouseAt the heart of the 4 acres is the handsome farmhouse, creating a striking focal point to life at Moor Hall Farm. With an imposing approach, the architect-designed remodelling and significant extending of the house is impressive, yet with a wonderful subtlety given the use of brick, flint, and lime mortar to blend in with the adjacent traditional buildings. A spacious entrance and staircase hall reaching to the second floor provides the link between the original house and the distinctive new tower wing, and immediately sets the tone with traditional and contemporary features that blend seamlessly to create a vibrant and well arranged living space, with glass balustrades on a bespoke oak staircase, and even a cleverly exposed well with glass capping. The hall leads to all the principal living spaces. A particularly light and spacious kitchen/breakfast room is a joy, with tall ceilings and triple aspect providing fine views of the surrounding gardens and land through large windows and French doors that open onto decking with steps down to a paved terrace. The kitchen is one of simple clean lines, so as not to distract from the surroundings. Drifting back through the main hall, passing a bootroom/pantry, the original farmhouse ground floor has been opened up to create two distinct living areas, with a family room with woodburner and fitted shelving, and a living room with contemporary fireplace; both rooms taking in plenty of natural light with a southerly aspect. A lower ground floor level provides a functionality with large utility/store room, WC and plant room.The bedrooms are spread over the first and second floors, with all enjoying wonderful views of the gardens and land beyond. On the first floor, a galleried landing with window seat nestled within an oriel window, leads to four bedrooms, with two bath/shower rooms. The stairs continue up to a further bedroom on the top floor, enjoying a triple aspect and adjoining bathroom, and where there is access to the parapet viewing area affording 360 degree views over the landscape.Cottage, barn and outbuildingsGreat thought was given by the current custodians as to how best to utilise the charming farm buildings. With around 4000 sq ft of traditional buildings, there is a great balance of converted areas alongside a wonderful courtyard of original open fronted cart bays, a nod to its agricultural roots.The main two storey barn was divided to create a holiday let at one end, and a party/performance barn at the other. The holiday let is impressive in its own right, with a double-height vaulted open plan living space of about 9.5m x 4.5m, kitchen, entrance hall, a convenient ground floor bedroom and bathroom, and two second floor bedrooms, both with en suites. All the bedrooms are generous double rooms, and there is brilliant sense of light and space throughout, with parking and private gardens overlooking the wildflower meadows. The cottage provides significant income, which could be increased as the current owners often use the cottage privately for family and friends.The party barn is an amazing space: one seamless open room up to the rafters, measuring about 12.4m x 6.3m, flooded with light from a floor to ceiling window, and served by an initial entrance hall, kitchenette, shower and WC. Recitals, jazz concerts, yoga and family parties have all been hosted within this atmospheric room, complete with large woodburner and theatre lighting. The barn has a link through to the holiday let via a door to the kitchen to facilitate catering.A separate single level barn of just over 1000 sq ft comprises a studio perfect for working from home, art or similar, a garden store, work shop, garage and further store area. This is a incredibly useful building that adds to and aids the lifestyle of the farm.Gardens and groundsApproached over a farm drive, the private drive of Moor Hall Farm is defined by a gravel driveway that sweeps through lightly wooded area before opening out to the farmhouse and buildings, where the drive continues to a parking and turning area, and onwards to the courtyard with 6 open-fronted cart bays for covered parking.The gardens and grounds of Moor Hall Farm are a complete delight, with many points of interest throughout and which have been thoughtfully landscaped with a subtlety that provides seasonal interest yet sits in harmony with the house, buildings and surrounding countryside.The formal gardens are predominantly to the east and south of the house. To the south is a paved yorkstone terrace, perfect for outside dining and entertaining, with an expanse of lawn to well stocked herbaceous flowerbeds. To the east, and open to the south, is a further yorkstone terrace, with brick weave path to the house with beds of herbs and annuals on either side providing an aromatic dining area nestled into the garden's surroundings. Areas of long grass and wildflower areas are framed by large swathes of mown grass providing a structure and flow to the grounds, taking in beech topiary, orchard, wildflower meadows, rose beds, ponds, a hard tennis court, croquet area and meadow. The land is dotted with fine specimen trees including black poplars, oaks and beech, with further planting carried out by the current owner, now of various stages of establishment but added to the landscape. A stream, a tributary of the Bure, meanders through the grounds from west to east, feeding the pond and continuing onwards, with bridge between the tennis court area and orchard. The grounds are a haven for wildlife, with resident barn owl, heron and egret on the pond, roe deer, pheasants and hares seen frequently.LocationMoor Hall Farm is located in glorious seclusion, surrounded by a DEFRA designated conservation area that offers a 5km or 2.5m walk neighbouring fields. The farm is about two miles from the well-served village of Briston, home to the Norfolk Sea Larder selling fresh sea food, the award winning and highly respected Graves butchers, and two village stores including a co-op. The village has a popular gastro pub, The Three Horseshoes.The Georgian town of Holt is about 7 miles and is famous as the home of Gresham's Public School as well as for its excellent independent shops, Michelin star restaurant, bakeries and delicatessens, public houses, antique shops and art galleries.

Why We Love Hales HallThe warmth of ancient timber and lime plaster give the house an intimately pleasant feel, it is presented with style and an emphasis on comfort with the highest quality fittings present throughout. From the welcoming large open log fires, extensive reception rooms, farmhouse style kitchen and spacious bedroom suites, Hales Hall will suit even the most discerning of buyers.Perhaps one of the most remarkable points of interest is the knowledge that Hales Hall Barn is the largest secular brick built Tudor barn in England. Except for a sensitive restoration it stands largely untouched with some very special architectural features including rare surviving king and queen posts in the roof and over 180 striking 'loop-hole' windows which served as a ventilation system during its centuries old agricultural use storing grain. Architectural enthusiasts will see a similarity to the gatehouse at nearby Blickling, which was built by Sir James Hobart's grandson Sir Henry Hobart after he purchased the estate in 1616, and also similarities with Oxburgh Hall, placing Hales Hall amongst a very distinguished collection of some of the finest buildings in England. Chapters PastWith its delicate pink brickwork and soaring expanses of ancient mellowed timbers, Hales Hall is a true feast for the eyes and imagination of any history enthusiast. The earliest origins of the hall date back to a deer park and 13th century hall built by the de Hales family who had long established roots in the county and could boast links with the royal family and Dukes of Norfolk after Alice Hales, daughter of Sir Roger de Hales, married Thomas de Brotherton, brother of Edward II.The present hall as it stands today is a vast surviving wing of a later Tudor hall which was constructed in the late 15th century by Sir James Hobart, who set about rebuilding and aggrandising the previous house on the site after he bought the estate from the de Hales family in 1478.During a remarkable legal career spanning the turbulent Wars of the Roses, Sir James rose from being the younger son of a Suffolk cloth merchant to become a long-standing Attorney General and privy councillor to Henry VII. A close friend of John Paston, he is frequently mentioned in the famous Paston family letters and was knighted late in life by Henry Prince of Wales, later Henry VIII. Alongside glorifying his family legacy in brick at Hales, Sir James was also building with an eye to the preservation of his immortal soul and undertook the cost for the rebuilding of Loddon church as well as considerable repairs to the nave roof of Norwich cathedral where he was eventually buried in 1517.His youngest son Myles founded the line that built the magnificent Blickling Hall also in Norfolk (its design believed to be inspired by the original family seat at Hales), while the eldest son, Walter and his descendants remained staunchly Catholic and faced huge fines for recusancy. By 1647 the Hobart family's great fortune had all but run out and Hales was acquired by Dionysia, Lady Williamson, widow of a Lord Mayor of London and descendant of the de Hales family. who is noted for reportedly donating over £2,000 (a vast sum at the time) to help Christopher Wren rebuild London's churches after the great fire in 1666. Hales then passed to various owners who lived elsewhere including the Earl of Roseberry and, the Crisp family of nearby Kirby Cane Hall. From the 1730s onwards, the present hall and barn was let to farming tenants. They had fallen into agricultural use by the 1960s when it was visited and referenced by distinguished historian and documenter of Britain's finest buildings Nicolaus Pevsner.RestorationHales Hall was acquired by the Read family in 1971, who spent the next 30 years restoring it, as documented in their dedicated book on the subject Hales Hall in Loddon. Hales was then purchased in 2014 by the celebrated historic building renovators Peter Sheppard and Keith Day of Sheppard Day Associates, who conducted a further award-winning restoration and refurbishment including painstakingly retrofitting the house with every 21st century modern convenience whilst preserving the details and atmosphere of the 15th century. In 2017 the Johnston family from Norfolk who can trace their ancestors back to this corner of the country at the time that Hales Hall was built acquired the property and have continued the work to breathe new life into this medieval masterpiece.Out and AboutFor those who enjoy the great outdoors, Hales Hall is ideally situated on the edge of The Norfolk Broads National Park, a place which holds a prestigious position in the popular imagination of this country for its unspoilt countryside and reed-lined waterways. The house itself is in a peaceful rural setting close to Hales Common, surrounded by farmland and woodland with plenty of opportunity for walking boating, cycling and fishing. The nearby market town of Loddon is within a 10-minute drive of Hales and provides daily amenities including a surgery, butchers, post office, supermarket and a marina with access to The Broads via the river Chet.Popular local pubs and eateries include The White Horse in Chedgrave, The Duke's Head at Somerleyton and The Wildebeest in Stoke Holy Cross. The area also has a reputation for winemaking with regular tastings and events held at Flint Vineyard and Chet Vinyard, known for its award-winning sparkling wine. The towns of Bungay, with its award-winning delicatessen, and Beccles are both a short drive away, as is the thriving cathedral city of Norwich which provides further choice of amenities, including a wide selection of independent shops and the Sainsbury's Art Centre.CommunicationsThere is easy access to London by train from Norwich and also Diss, with regular services to London Liverpool Street taking approximately 90 minutes.Fantastic SchoolsThe locality is served by a distinguished selection of schools including Greshams, Norwich School, Langley School, and Beeston Hall.

A picturesque and historic Grade I listed Tudor country house with a magnificent Great Barn with planning permission for use as a wedding venue set in moated grounds of about 9 acres. DescriptionThere has been a house on this site for upwards of 1,000 years. The present house and barn were built by Sir James Hobart in 1478 and the house we see now is a surviving wing of this great Tudor house, which was restored in 1971 and refurbished more recently by previous owners.Situated in the grounds to the south of the main house is the Great Barn, at 184ft the largest brick built Tudor barn in England. This was also restored and was reroofed in 1996. The barn has become a deservedly wonderful venue for events ( with current planning permission for up to forty-eight weddings per year and a significant income can be generated from this.The PropertyThe property underwent further extensive restoration and refurbishment around 2014 which was carried out by previous owners to the highest standards. This included total overhaul and restoration of the main 1601 roof, which was retiled with the reinstatement of thirteen dormer windows to the north and south sides, rebuilding of the original Tudor chimneys in Tudor bricks, reinstatement of seven bricked in windows with new oak frames and leaded lights to match the originals, rewiring throughout, installing a five amp lighting circuit in all rooms and an LED lighting system, and re-plumbing throughout with cast iron radiators in the principal rooms. Internally, all the walls were insulated and re-plastered in lime plaster with 50mm of internal wall insulation and 150mm of insulation throughout the new roof. A magnificent custom-built kitchen with an Aga was installed and with the provision of seven new bathrooms; five of which have cast iron roll top baths with marble vanity units, together with power showers in custom-made shower enclosures by Hans Grohe & Philip Starck WCs. In addition, a new oak staircase rising to all three floors was installed and a new drainage system with a Klargester sewerage treatment installed at the main house as well as an industrial septic tank system for the lavatories associated with the barn. Between 2017 and 2020 the property has been redecorated throughout. A new roof was completed on the Cottage, a new generator was purchased for the property and an electricfront gate added. Handcrafted wooden signage has been added across the estate in keeping with the Hales Hall branding and a stunning external lighting scheme has been created to show off the buildings and gardens to dramatic effect at night.The GroundsThe house is approached from the east via a gravelled drive lined by a mixed avenue of maple, oak, chestnut and copper beech trees. The drive divides with a spur off to the left towards the Great Barn. The main drive leads through oak entrance gates and sweeps around to the south front of the house which overlooks the main formal gardens. The drive also divides and leads round to the Gate House Cottage and to the north of the house. The gardens and grounds of Hales Hall are an outstanding feature and are arranged as follows; the main formal gardens lie to the south of the house and are extensively laid to lawn with a great variety of elaborately trimmed yew and box topiary. There are various ornamental trees including mulberry and magnolia. The drive curves round and leads under the Gate House Cottage joining with the north drive where there is a further extensive area of lawn and an avenue of beech trees with fine views over the surrounding meadow and farmland. Situated to the west of the formal gardens lies part of the original moat and there is a most attractive area of formal garden extending westwards from the Gate House Cottage lined by yew hedging with boxed topiary and well stocked mixed herbaceous beds with a variety of old-fashioned rambling roses. This leads down to a seating area bordered by the moat.The BarnThe Great Barn forms a splendid backdrop to the house situated to the north and is separated from the formal gardens by a fine red brick wall. To the north of the Great Barn, there is an extensive gravelled parking area and an oak framed cloister with stone paving. Situated to the northwest of the barn, there is a range of single storey farm buildings divided into garaging and stores and where the male and female lavatories for the use of the barn are situated. To the south of the Great Barn, there is a further gravelled parking area which has been used for additional parking. There is a well-stocked mixed orchard and an area of meadowland. The whole area in all extends to about 9 acres.LocationHales Hall is situated in an unspoilt rural position approached over Hales Common and surrounded by gently undulating farmland and woodland. Norwich, the Cathedral city and regional centre of East Anglia, is about 13 miles to the northwest and the Waveney Valley market towns of Beccles and Bungay are both just 5 miles. Nearby, the town of Loddon has good everyday shopping facilities and access to the south Broads Network can be gained from the River Chet, which flows into the River Yare. Southwold, on the Suffolk Heritage Coast, is about 17 miles.There are mainline railway stations at both Norwich and closer to London, Diss (17 miles) with regular trains to London Liverpool Street with an approximate journey time of 90 minutes.Square Footage: 8,332 sq ft Acreage: 9 AcresDirectionsLeave Norwich on the A146 Beccles Road and after passing Loddon and the turning to Hales on the left, continue for a short distance and turn right into a small slip road signposted Wash Lane (also marked with a brown tourist sign to Hales Hall).

For the 2021 calendar year, gross income generated from the estate including both weddings and short stay lettings, totalled £493,000. Going forward, considerable potential exists to further increase returns if desired.The barn offers an exceptional space to host events with an upper gallery at the east end of the barn acting as a chill out room for guests. The barn boasts underfloor heating with additional heating through cast iron radiators and industrial blow heaters, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, variable colour LED lighting system and sound system, a fully equipped bar with adjoining wine and beer barrel store for draft beer, plus male and female lavatories in their own adjoining block. The one hundred and eighty loop-hole windows are soundproofed with polycarbonate glazing and the entrance lobby is positioned to reduce sound breakout from the main barn. Further enhancements have been made to the barn by the current owners with the addition of large glass internal doors at the front and three beautiful oak bridges leading out to the meadow at the back.Glasshouses totalling circa 15,000 sq ft are situated to the southwest of the Great Barn, and are currently used for informal storage, but these had been operational as a nursery business for Reads Plant Centre until 2012.

HistoryStanfield Hall was once resided in by Sir John Robsart, a Norfolk gentry and former Sheriff of Norwich with links to Robert Kett and the Battle of Mousehold Heath near Norwich in 1549. Robert's daughter Amy married Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester in 1550. However, when Elizabeth I ascended the throne in 1558, Robert became Master of the Horse and was at court almost constantly in attendance with the Queen. By 1559 Robert had become the Queen's favourite and suitor of her hand. Amy was found dead at her home in Oxford in 1560 and whilst it was likely to be accidental, the motives of Robert were in question.Stanfield Hall was once also the scene of an infamous double that shocked Victorian England. On the night of 28 November 1848 Isaac Jermy left the Hall to take the evening air after a dinner party. He was ambushed and shot by a masked man, who then proceeded to shoot Isaac's son, his wife, and a maid. Isaac and his son were killed, and the two women were badly injured. James Blomfield Rush was arrested and put on trial in Norwich. During his trial Rush defended himself, and his closing speech to the jury lasted 14 hours. The jury took just ten minutes to find him guilty of , and he was hanged at Norwich Castle on 21 April 1849. Between 12,000 and 20,000 people attended his execution, and special train services were run from London to Norwich for the occasion. Charles Dickens observed that it was 'a grand place for a scoundrel's exit'.Outside, the property enjoys a most wonderful parkland setting surrounded by countryside with no near neighbours. The house is approached via a 700 metre drive which heads over a bridge to a large gravelled area with ample parking. The Grade II Listed 16th Century moat bridge is formed of English and Flemish brick with two round arches and buttress piers either side and between, with the parish boundary between Wymondham and Ketteringham running along the centre line of the bridge and through the house. To the south is an attractive lawned garden with deep shrub borders and flower beds. A large terrace leads around the side of the Hall to landscaped gardens centred around a pond with kitchen gardens and a tennis court beyond. To the north of the Hall is a charming two bedroom single storey cottage and a substantial steel portal frame outbuilding, alongside field shelters and closed paddocks. The parkland enjoys a wide variety of fine mature broadleaf trees.Agents Note: The property benefits from payments via Renewable Heat Incentive scheme for the biomass pellet boiler and payments via Feed In Tariff scheme for solar array.
