Prioratshalle, Hadleigh

16th century timber-framed hall within 21 acres of exceptional grounds, private yet walking distance to Hadleigh, with pool complex, equestrian facilities and cottage.
Priory Hall sits hidden within its grounds, positioned behind a red brick wall that leads to tall electric iron gates. From the moment you arrive, you are in your own world. The house is immediately impressive, its timber-framed façade full of character, yet you remain just a short walk from the centre of Hadleigh. It is a rare balance of privacy and convenience. Believed to date back to the 16th century, the house has evolved into a generous and highly liveable home. The layout is centred around a welcoming entrance hall, with well-proportioned reception rooms that lend themselves naturally to both family life and entertaining. Many rooms open directly to the gardens and terraces, alive with colour and energy through the seasons. The Hall is a defining feature. A vast, vaulted space with exposed timbers and a gallery above, it has previously hosted weddings but offers complete flexibility for future use. An indoor swimming complex adds another dimension, a bright, vaulted space designed for year-round use with a strong connection to the outside. The grounds extend to just over 21 acres. Formal lawns and parterre gardens sit alongside a lake, a lily-filled pond, a kitchen garden, tennis court and wider parkland. Equestrian facilities with spectacular views of the parkland are well arranged with separate access, and a range of outbuildings, including a barn and pavilion, provide further opportunity. A separate cottage offers additional accommodation. Priory Hall is a home that combines scale, connectivity, versatility and a true sense of escape.
