The Property
Listed Grade II, dating in part to 1674 with later C19 additions, Saddington Hall is an impressive village property, enjoying excellent proportions and views to rolling countryside which are unmatched.
High ceilings and tall sash windows flood light into the principal reception rooms, with the South-Westerly aspect to the front of the property enjoying the sunshine for the majority of the day.
The drawing room and sitting room flank either side of a large dining hall, with both rooms having working shutters, detailed cornicing and elegant open fireplaces to warm cooler evenings. The dining hall, which has ample space to accommodate a table to seat fourteen, has double doors out and steps down to a wide terrace from where the gardens are accessed. The views from all three rooms are delightful, taking in the formal gardens and expanding out to the rural setting beyond the Ha-Ha.
Elsewhere to the ground floor, set off the central hall, is a comfortable study with tall bookcases set to either side of a fireplace, and a lovely view of the church.
The kitchen breakfast room, also off the central hall, is well-equipped, fitted with a range of Shaker style units, Aga and built-in appliances set around a central island. The kitchen is open to a lovely breakfasting area, with seating set under the window to the courtyard. From here a door leads through to a useful utility and boot room, with an excellent range of storage.
From the central hall, stairs lead down to the extensive cellar, which has been transformed into an entertaining space, including a bar with space for seating, wine cellar, space for a pool table, table tennis table and gym area.
Returning to the hall, stairs with an elegant continuous handrail rise to the first floor with an open landing giving access to the majority of the bedrooms.
The principal bedroom, which is set to the front of the house and enjoys far reaching views through the trees, is generously sized, with space for seating, overlooking the gardens, a large dressing area and en-suite, with traditionally styled roll top bath positioned to take in the same views.
Elsewhere to the first floor are three double bedrooms and a Jack and Jill family bathroom, with two further double bedrooms and two shower rooms being set off two further landings.

OUTSIDE
Entered via timber electric gates over the sweeping tree-lined driveway, the grounds at Saddington Hall extend to just under an acre, with a Ha-Ha giving an unbroken view of the surrounding countryside.
Walled to the rear, a well-maintained formal garden includes a lawned area, outdoor heated swimming pool in a sheltered position, and a series of generous terraces positioned to benefit from the sunshine throughout the day. Adjacent to the Ha-Ha is an area of informal planting, with paths cut into the longer grass, meandering through mature trees and spring bulbs giving splashes of colour.
There is a vegetable plot and space for a chicken coop set to one side, and planting is varied throughout the gardens to maintain colour and interest throughout the year.

THE ANNEXE AND OUTBUILDINGS
A sheltered courtyard to the side of the kitchen leads to an annexe which in brief comprises kitchen/sitting room, double bedroom, and en-suite shower room. Adjacent is a storeroom and workshop/utility room which could be incorporated into the annexe to increase the footprint subject to the necessary consents.
