Georgian Manor House with Private Estate and Woods

About the Space

Throckley Hall is a substantial Georgian period property dating from c. 1820 and expanded further in 1850. Standing within it's private estate, the main manor house is set within private and peaceful formal gardens, with original high stone walls and lawned areas to the front and side. The principal elevation faces South and enjoys all-day sunshine and views over the tiered gardens and fields. The property overlooks the private land and open countryside to the South and benefits from an elevated position. The private estate also includes approximately 3.5 acres of mature managed forest with several tree specimens dated to approximately 150+ years of age. The approach to the property is set off beautifully by a 700m private driveway, lined with mature trees. While also providing complete privacy and peace from the nearest public approach. The impressive stone construction and principal South facing elevation coming into view as one rounds the gentle sweeping driveway to approach inner gates and the house itself. Internally, the manor house retains many original features and plaster mouldings dating to c. 1850. Built to traditional Georgian proportions, the house has full-height 11.5 foot ceilings throughout the ground floor and formal rooms, dining room, drawing room, reception hall, study, kitchens. As well as traditional 24-pane large sash windows, allowing substantial light inside. Picture and dado rails line many of the rooms and ceiling rose mouldings set off the period chandeliers. The majority of the furnishings are antique including the dining table from c. 1900, seating 10-12, chairs and cabinets / sideboards. The master bedroom is one of several furnished upstairs rooms that could easily accommodate a 4-poster bed as well as a 3 piece suite.
