Old Hadlow House is an attractive Grade II Listed red brick residence with a painted ground floor and an 18th century frontage to a probably older building. The property offers almost 3,500 sq. ft. of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, with the potential for a top floor annexe apartment if required. It has been sensitively modernised to combine modern living with retained character features including generously-proportioned rooms with some exposed wall and ceiling beams.

The welcoming reception hall leads to a spacious sitting room with a large front aspect bay window, panelled walls and feature fireplace with woodburning stove, and a generous dining room with parquet flooring opening into a large dual aspect double height kitchen/dining area with vaulted ceiling. The kitchen benefits from a range of wall and base units, wooden worktops and an ingle with four oven Aga. An inner hall off the kitchen/dining area gives access to a rear aspect study, a useful cloakroom and a generous store room with quarry tiled flooring, Belfast sink and a door to the rear garden, suitable for a variety of uses.

Stairs rise from the inner hall to the first floor where the generous principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage, en suite cloakroom and separate contemporary en suite shower room. Also on this floor is a large bedroom with panelled walling, feature fireplace and fitted dressing room, an additional double bedroom and a spacious music room, suitable for use as an additional bedroom if required, together with a spacious family bathroom and a useful neighbouring store.

Two separate staircases rise from the landing to the second floor, the first giving access to two spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom and the second to the property’s remaining double bedroom with feature corner fireplace.
