Description
The western wing of the house is a former cider house, which was converted by the current owners forming an open plan kitchen sitting dining room which links cleverly into a useful study with access to two ground floor bedrooms with shower facilities and separate French doors into the gardens. This space, which could be used to derive an income was built by The Crawshay family who brewed cider in the building in the 1900's.
The 19th century part of the house is accessed at the front into a delightful porch which links into the staircase hall. Off the hall lie two fine principal rooms with excellent ceiling heights, ceiling roses and fireplaces with the dining room housing a bespoke log burner. The sitting room flows into the beamed handmade kitchen and enjoys a contrasting aura with its low ceiling heights and exposed beams which continue through the rear wing of the house.
The kitchen itself features a good range of base units with quartz worktops, built-in appliances and butler sink. There is also a freestanding log burner acting as a central feature, with a further rear porch housing the laundry room, larder and utility. Further ground floor rooms comprise a snug, shower room and study. The grounds can be accessed at multiple points across the ground floor.
On the first floor are five excellent bedrooms and two separate bathrooms located off the split-level landing. On the second floor a staircase leads up to the spacious loft with separate staircase providing useful storage, there is potential here to convert subject to the necessary planning consents. All first-floor rooms enjoy charming views over the associated gardens and grounds.
The property is approached by a most attractive sweeping carriage driveway accessed through wrought iron gates mounted on gault brick pillars at both entrances with signposting for the house. The driveway leads around to the front of the house passing a large expanse of lawn bordered by a number of mature trees providing a great deal of privacy. The double garages, 38 ft. two-storey timber-clad barn and triple carports and positioned on the western boundary.
The drive continues around to the east and to the rear entrance of the house linking into the cidery with access to the cellar below, with the former stables and coach house in view. Converted by the current owners, the coach house and stable block today act as a superb holiday let with well-arranged accommodation comprising kitchen sitting dining room, two bedrooms with en-suite facilities. The holiday let has proven popular over the years and is listed on 'air bnb'.
The formal gardens of Hempnall House are a joy with established formal lawn, mature shrubberies and a naturally fed pond with further wide grassed areas and established trees both young and old. The land expands away to the west and there is of course potential for equestrian use if a buyer required.
Behind the outbuildings is a strip of land measuring 1.33 acres (stms) which was once the subject of a grant provided by the Woodland Trust in 2002 with heavy planting in the form of native broad leaf trees, all beautifully established now.
