Description
White Hall is an elegant Grade II listed farmhouse, mostly Georgian but originating from the time of Queen Anne when the house was farm to the Manor of Rokeles. The house is of solid brick construction under a pantile roof with Victorian claylump additions. A useful coach house dated 1835 provides office and games room accommodation together with a workshop and store. There is further potential to create additional office/annexe accommodation within these outbuildings subject to the normal planning consents being obtained.
The house has elegantly proportioned rooms, the principal rooms having fireplaces and good ceiling heights and there is a most attractive entrance hall with pamment floor and original staircase to the first floor. We draw your attention to the floor plans for an explanation as to how the accommodation is arranged. The property has oil heating with a system linked wood burner providing an alternative to oil and a backup to the main oil system.
The property is presented in good decorative order.
The property has been under the present ownership since 1990 and around this time considerable renovation and upgrading works took place including damp proofing, timber treatment, the upgrading of the wiring and the installation of a new heating system. Other works include full loft insulation and draft proofing of windows.
Outside
There is an attractive approach to the front of the house via a long gravelled drive offering ample parking and turning areas. At the rear of the house there is a secondary drive leading to the enclosed courtyard and the Coach House providing additional space for vehicles. To the right of the main drive is a securely fenced small field with a most attractive natural pond in its centre, again enhancing the setting for the house. Over the last 18 years the vendors have carried out considerable hedging and planting to the garden including a variety of traditional fruit trees, old fashioned roses and some uncommon varieties of trees and shrubs. The gardens and grounds are now mature and provide a haven of peace and tranquillity. Bee orchids can be found flowering in parts of the lawn in June.
The gardens and grounds in all extend to 2.4 of an acre (est).
