An Exquisite Grade II Listed Hall That Is Steeped In History Set Within Magnificent Private Grounds

Set within magnificent private grounds and surrounded by rolling countryside, Northorpe Hall is an outstanding Grade II listed Gothic Mansion, providing extensive accommodation and a wealth of magnificent original details offering an extraordinary blend of grandeur, heritage and natural beauty.

The property replaced an Elizabethan house, with the listed ruins of the 16th century Northorpe Old Hall still standing within the grounds and previously being occupied by the Monson’s and the Peacocks, in 1875. Built by G. H. Goldsmith of Manchester in a Norman revival style, the striking stone façade showcases an abundance of structurally impressive detailing, including stepped gables, castellated features and elegant mullioned windows, creating a home of outstanding character and distinction.

Inside, elegant features include the grand reception hall that immediately sets the tone for the property with remarkable architectural significance, showcasing a magnificent carved stone staircase with intricate Gothic detailing, soaring arches and ornate column work. Richly coloured walls, decorative stained-glass windows and exquisite encaustic tiled flooring combine to create an atmosphere of grandeur and timeless refinement. The ground floor has seven exceptional reception rooms, including the substantial Monson Room, with its dual French doors opening to the gardens, offering a superb space for entertaining. There is also a beautifully proportioned drawing room with a dual aspect, a welcoming morning room, a formal dining room/library, a sitting room, a breakfast room for informal dining and a fully glazed conservatory. The kitchen, rich in character and lasting charm features fitted shaker-style units, a split butler sink and an Aga recessed into the brick-built fireplace. The utility room provides further storage, as does the cellar.

The stunning stone staircase leads to the upper levels, where you will find eight immaculate double bedrooms. These include the well-proportioned principal bedroom with its large en suite bathroom, which has a central roll-top bathtub with a shower attachment. Two further bedrooms are en suite, while the first floor also has two family bathrooms and an additional WC.

Outside there are 6.5 acres of beautiful gardens and rolling parkland, creating a peaceful and secluded atmosphere. The gardens include terraced lawns, patio areas, an ornamental pond and a wealth of mature trees and established shrubs, while beyond there are open fields and grazing pastures. There are also two professional thermostatically controlled large dog kennels within a secure courtyard, and three brick outbuildings centred around a central courtyard, providing plenty of storage and covered parking for up to 10 cars, as well as the potential for development.

Northorpe Hall is a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark country home perfectly suited to refined family living, prestigious entertaining and peaceful retreat alike.
