Description
The Property
The Manor House, an impressive Grade II* Listed property located in the heart of the bustling and desirable town of Sedgefield, offers a distinguished setting for premium offices and event space with potential for residential development. This classic Queen Anne mansion house, originally constructed in 1707 by a London judge, has a rich history of serving various prestigious roles, from entertaining hunting parties to hosting council offices and a magistrate?s court. The expansive nature of the property, combined with its fabulous location, makes it an attractive option for various commercial uses.
The property has also received a positive pre-application, indicating that full planning permission would likely be granted for conversion into either a boutique hotel or luxury apartments.
The expansive layout covers four floors, with versatile space throughout. The imposing front entrance with gorgeous decorative surround opens to a wide and welcoming main reception area. A rear lobby provides direct access to the generous car park at the rear of the property. The fabulous Old Court Room spans the full depth of the property and is currently configured as a bright and airy conference room and event space with lovely parquet wood flooring and twin stone fireplaces. Further spacious rooms, including large meeting rooms and training rooms, provide a host of possibilities across the ground floor including plans for a one bed and three bed apartment or hotel reception and catering.
The grand staircase with wide newel posts and banister along with barley sugar spindles and balustrades rises with a turn to the first floor and with a listed dog gate which prevented the hunting dogs accessing the bedrooms. Both the reception hall and the first-floor landing are bathed in natural light from the huge arched Venetian Palladian window that overlooks the staircase. Another six flexible rooms offer great office and boardroom space on this floor and plans for two two-bedroom apartments or six hotel bedrooms. Both the ground floor and first floor also have extensive restroom facilities to serve any number of occupants. A second staircase climbs to the second floor, which includes eight further rooms suitable for executive offices, private offices and plans for three one-bedroom apartments or five hotel bedrooms. The elevated position brings views over the market town to the racecourse and countryside beyond.
The lower ground floor can be accessed both internally or externally and showcases the origins of the property, with many original features and exposed stone. Sympathetic renovation has been carried out to retain the character of the original structure while creating elegant and fashionable spaces that make use of features including the huge old fireplaces and inglenooks. This floor includes a cellar bar with meeting space and storage space. There is potential for further hotel/hospitality development and plans for a two-bedroom apartment.
Externally
Externally, splendid, pillared gates open to pretty and easily maintained gardens before stone steps lead up to the front entrance of The Manor House. To the rear is an expansive car park that can accommodate all employees and visitors and has potential for further development.
