A delightful semi-detached stone holiday cottage converted from Grade 2 listed buildings in the grounds of The Old Hall – With a private hot tub for 4.
A delightful semi-detached stone holiday cottage converted from Grade 2 listed buildings in the grounds of The Old Hall, sleeps 4. Kitchen/diner, separate sitting room with wood burner to ground floor. Double and twin bedrooms upstairs.
Accessed from the old entrance to The Hall between 2 square piers with flat stone coping. Here the cottage wall, unlike the rest of the building, is built of Elizabethan brick laid in English garden bond over a stone plinth; a status symbol from a time when bricks were favoured over stone. The building in the past has been used as both a dwelling house and for agricultural purposes; also as a surgery for doctors who have lived and practised from The Old Hall since the early 19th century.
