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.
