Description:

Most handsome Elizabethan Manor House and cottages in landscaped gardens and parkland of about 21.6 acres. Description West Hall is a justifiably listed Grade I Elizabethan manor house situated in a secluded part of rural Dorset. The property is accessed via a long drive from the centre of the village of Longburton which sweeps through parkland and gardens surrounding the house, providing a wonderful sense of arrival as you approach. A secondary drive provides access for tenants, staff and deliveries to the north of the house. The house is constructed in the traditional style for a house of this age, of mainly stone walls with ashlar quoins under a stone tiled roof. West Hall is in the main Elizabethan and has undergone a series of alterations and extensions over the centuries, the irregular fenestration adds a unique charm and character to the house. There are a wealth of architectural details and features, including stone copings bearing finials and ashlar chimney stacks, mullioned windows, moulded round archways and a wonderful heavy oak front door. The door bears the mark of historical axe damage, thought to date back to the English Civil War. Internally the house has a number of 17th and 18th century fireplaces, a beautiful oak staircase from the 17th century, round headed arches, bolection moulded panelling and some 17th and 18th century glass. The accommodation is well suited to both family living and entertaining. The principal rooms in West Hall are impressive with a number being of particular note due to the prominence of their internal features including the Great Hall, sitting room and dining room The Flats & West Hall Cottages The North West wing of the house has been arranged to create two independent flats which could equally be incorporated back into the main house at ground and first floor level. To the north of West Hall lies an old outbuilding which is Grade II listed and has been converted into three attractive cottages... Still available at ListedBuy!
