Nestled on the picturesque Esperley Lane in Cockfield, the impressive 'Oakwood Hall' presents a rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent Victorian Detached Manor House which stands on approximately 1-acre plot, plus 1.2 acre paddock. Spanning approximately 4715 square feet, the home is thoughtfully arranged over three floors, providing ample space for both relaxation and entertainment. This splendid residence boasts three main reception rooms, plus a light & airy kitchen/breakfast room, and Five generously sized bedrooms, plus a large games room to the top floor, making it an ideal family home.

The charm of Oakwood Hall is further enhanced by its stunning period features, which have been beautifully preserved amidst significant modern improvements. The two well-appointed bathrooms ensure convenience for family living, while the oil-fired central heating and solar panels offer energy efficiency and comfort throughout the seasons.

Set within an expansive 1-acre site, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens that provide a serene outdoor retreat.

The historical photo of the garden, taken on the Coronation of George V, celebrated in 1911, also shows a tennis court in the background.

With parking available for multiple vehicles, this home is not only practical but also exudes fabulous curb appeal, reflecting its history as a former mine manager's family residence.

Second floor
A fitted staircase ascends to the top floor featuring a large oversized versatile games room with adjoining storage room and the fifth bedroom ( which does not conform to current building regulations ) and a separate attic room.

Externally
Gated access to Oakwood Hall, with well tended gardens, which extends to approximately 1 acre. Situated on the opposite side of Esperley Lane is a paddock which extends to approximately 1.2 acres.
The generous gravel driveway on arrival allows parking for multiple vehicles leading to a double garage with electric roller doors allowing secure parking or storage.
