Detached house for sale in Colston Bassett, Nottinghamshire NG12

Dating back to circa 1704, the Grade II Listed Hall was famously remodelled by the Le Marchant family in 1841 to offer some of the grandest accommodation for entertaining the area had to offer at the time featuring a ballroom leading to an exquisite 50ft drawing room and beautiful handmade plasterwork throughout the building.

The extensive accommodation offers to the ground floor a reception hall, study, sitting room, vast drawing room with a total of 6 sash windows to enjoy views of the grounds, formal dining room, ballroom and large orangery. A further hallway leads to the living kitchen, scullery, morning room, breakfast room, study, cloakroom and billiards room. The scullery gives access to a self-contained butler's flat, with a reception room, kitchen and bedroom above. A grand staircase from the main hall leads to the first floor, offering a total of 9 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The second floor offers a further 11 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a self-contained flat with kitchen diner and living room. The Hall also has a 24-room cellar complex, which could lend itself to conversion to indoor swimming pool, spa and gym facility.

The Hall is approached by its own long driveway approach through formal lawns with mature specimen trees leading to the grand front entrance to the West aspect. A rear tradesmen driveway leads to the North side with garaging and outbuildings. The grounds are largely South-facing boasting a formal pavilion terrace with steps leading down to swimming pool, tennis court and large expanse of lawn which could be turned to paddocks for the equestrian enthusiasts.

This residence lends itself to being used as a private home and either a business HQ, or hotel / wedding venue subject to appropriate planning and permissions. An incredibly rare opportunity to purchase one of the finest stately homes in the area offered to the market with no onward chain.
