Rolston Hall

Summary

Rolston Hall has been the subject of considerable investment and restoration, sympathetically retaining many of its original architectural features whilst providing the comforts of modern living. Set within nearly 10 acres of grounds, the history dating back nearly 700 years. Substantial Edwardian extensions providing accommodation over 7000 sq ft plus Hall Cottage, a separate individual period house. Given the location and setting it would also lend itself to a leisure or wedding venue. One of the finest and best kept country houses seen by the agent in recent years.
