Hookstead

High Halden, TN26

Tenure: Freehold

Hookstead House is a beautifully presented six/seven bedroom house dating back to the mid sixteenth century and has been extended over the last few hundred years. It offers generous and well appointed family accommodation with many rooms being dual aspect. The layout of the property offers great potential to separate the house and create a self contained annex.

The House displays warm brick elevations with fish-scale tiles to the first floor and largely replacement double glazed windows, all under hipped and pitched tiled roof. There is a pretty timbered entrance vestibule to the front providing a warm welcome to the house.

A reception hall opens to an attractive dinning room and delightful sitting room; the sitting room has a beautiful inglenook fire place and french doors to the rose garden; the dinning room is spacious and part oak panelled with an open fireplace. The main staircase leads up from the hall.

Also from the hall, a breakfast room opens up to a spacious kitchen with a pantry. The kitchen has an island, a double butlers sink and a four oven gas fired aga in a delightful inglenook. From the breakfast room, also used as a study, there is a door accessing the large rear terrace and garden.

From the hall an inner hall leads to a second small kitchen / utility room and a shower room. The inner hall also leads to the drawing room with high moulded ceiling, a marble fireplace with a wood burning stove and french doors. There is a second staircase leading to the master bedroom which is bright and spacious with dual aspect views and an en-suite; with access to the landing and the other bedrooms.

From the main staircase there are a further five bedrooms in the older part of the house which are full of character and period features. Two have en-suite shower rooms and there is a family bathroom. From the landing there is a staircase to the second floor with two rooms: a bedroom and sitting area.

Externally the house sits on a generous plot hidden behind hedgerow with ample parking. The delightful gardens laid extensively to lawn with paved areas create a great space to entertain. There is also a kitchen garden with a greenhouse and a garden shed.

Hookstead House has also been run as a successful B&B, and can be seen on its website.
