6 bedroom detached house for sale

Steeped in history and timeless elegance, Greenfield Hall is a truly exceptional period residence dating back to 1735. Originally built as a hunting lodge, this magnificent home combines outstanding architectural character with over 4,400 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation, all set within private, mature grounds extending to over an acre. Approached through tree-lined surroundings, the house immediately impresses with its commanding presence. Arranged across just two floors, the accommodation includes six generous bedrooms, four elegant reception rooms and four bathrooms, offering an exceptional balance of grandeur, flexibility and practical family living. Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens, extensive driveway parking and a substantial triple car barn with an electric vehicle charging point complete this remarkable home. Greenfield Hall has played host to an extraordinary chapter of British history. During the First World War, the Simpson family opened the house and gardens to wounded soldiers, and the property was featured in the 1911 edition of The Gentleman's Journal. Over the years it has welcomed royalty, including King Haakon VII of Norway, together with prominent political figures such as former Prime Minister Clement Attlee. The house also played a significant role in Britain's post-war history, with discussions surrounding the nationalisation of the gas industry taking place within its elegant drawing room. Sympathetically divided in 1985, the current owners acquired the principal and substantially larger section in 1993, retaining the majority of the original gardens and grounds. Today, Greenfield Hall represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to own not only a magnificent family home, but a remarkable piece of British heritage.
