The Old Hall

The Old Hall is a historic Grade II listed, 6 bedroom village house. It was built in 1659 and is entered in the Statutory Listing as a Grade II residence of special architectural and historic interest. It is a fine example of a property type which is rare in this area. Internally the house has many exposed ceiling and wall timbers, and Queen Anne panelling in the drawing room and sitting room. The large drawing room also benefits from a large open fireplace. In addition, there is a dining room, sitting room, study and cloakroom on the ground floor, and a family kitchen leading to a utility room and workshop with gardener's WC.

On the first floor, there is a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and 5 further good sized bedrooms with two bathrooms. On the second floor, there are three large store rooms which have the potential to be converted to bedrooms. Externally the house is built of dressed limestone, with red brick to the rear and a clay peg-tiled roof.

The range of outbuildings are a particular feature of the property. The Brew House is a beautiful building that has fantastic potential for conversion to a home office, studio or ancillary accommodation. There is also garaging for several cars, plus a stable. The property is in need of modernisation, subject to planning permission and listed building consent, but offers huge potential for a comfortable family home in a commutable area.

The gardens at The Old Hall provide a lovely and tranquil setting for family living with a generous garden with beautiful herbaceous borders and flower beds, with an array of roses and colour during the summer months. A large paddock wraps around two sides of the house which, with the benefit of the stable, is suitable for equestrian use.

The Old Hall is situated in the village of Covington, a small and quaint farming village in Cambridgeshire, 15 miles west of Huntingdon. The property is accessed off a quiet lane and has exceptional views over the surrounding countryside. The A14 is 6 miles to the north which provides access to Cambridge and The Midlands. Rail services can be found in the nearby St Neots with trains to St Pancras International from 56 minutes and trains from Cambridge (34.2 miles) to London Liverpool Street from 49 minutes.
