Property description

A private road leads to a gravel drive sweeping down to the impressive frontage of Stocken Hall. The historic Hall was built in the seventeenth century and its imposing façade has been well maintained since the hall was renovated and converted just over ten years ago. There are now eleven properties within the Hall and its grounds, each is unique and The Arches is the second largest of the apartments created. It occupies an enviable position on the ground floor at the front of the main Hall with views out from the impressive south-facing façade and it retains many original features from the early era of the Hall; from magnificent high ceilings to tall casement sash windows, working shutters and many decorative wall and ceiling mouldings. This apartment also has the benefit of retaining the property's extensive cellars. The centre-piece of the property is undoubtably the splendid drawing room, which along with the well-equipped kitchen breakfast room and three pleasant bedrooms, make it a stunning and unique home in an impressive country setting.

The room is south-facing, overlooking the decorative pond and water feature in the front grounds and it enjoys sunshine throughout much of the day.
