Property description
Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire are excited to present to the market this important Grade II * Listed, four bedroom, Queen Anne residence with an additional one bedroom annex set in superbly landscaped grounds, within the conservation area of Barton upon Humber
The Hall is mentioned in Pevsners guides and its rubbed brick façade with contrasting coign work speaks of solid achievement reflective of the towns heyday. It occupies the site of Bardney Abbey Rectory – from which it derives its name – and was built as a private residence by William Gildas. Formerly uses as a Rosminian Sisters church school – the adjoining St Augustine church stands within its former grounds- the hall has been and remains an important property within the fabric of the town.
The clarity of design and subtle taste for classicism of the English Baroque is manifested in the decorative door casings, Romanesque pillars in the stunning, panelled Drawing Room and in the superbly delicate plaster tracery work of the sitting room marble fireplace – a truly elegant domestic dwelling.
There are remnants of the opulent grandeur of bygone days in the magnificent formal dining room with its high Adams inspired fireplace and deep shuttered windows, one of which is a concealed door. Yet there is also a modest charm – Bardney Hall faces away from the town and presumably originally overlooked open paddocks as befitted its former manor house status.The refined simplicity and balance of the principal eastern façade with its pedimented entrance and twelve paned sash windows both impresses and welcomes whilst the flagged entrance hall with its return staircase and fireplace looking through to the breakfast room reveals little of the splendour beyond.
The grandeur of the 21' twin aspect drawing room is a statement of status with its full height painted panels, Romanesque pillars and twin doors which open to the eastern sitting room with its outstanding fireplace to form an unsurpassed entertaining suite. There is a timeless elegance to the 29' dining room with polished timber flooring, Adam style fireplace and deep sash windows which fill the room with afternoon sun. The practicalities of modern living are well catered for in the contemporary styled kitchen with its island unit and integrated appliances and the breakfast room with brick inglenook and limestone flagged floor is a more intimate space in which to relax.The ground floor is completed by a 38'5 office/games room with kitchen area – an excellent home work space.The main galleried landing serves two double bedrooms and an inner landing opens to the master suite which has been refurbished to include a generous bedroom with both en-suite bathroom and steam room off. A further double bedroom completes this floor.
The self contained annex with sitting room, dining kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom can be accessed by an independent staircase or through bedroom four.In addition to the extensive cellarage there are an additional attic rooms which could become further accommodation if required.
Bardney Hall occupies an elevated position set beyond walled lawns with inset mature trees. The principal, eastern grounds are accessed over a sweeping gravelled driveway and have been superbly landscaped with box edge lawns divided by avenues of trees – elegant simplicity mirroring the hall. The octagonal brick folly affords a stylish advantage point and the par-terre and barbecue area allow for outdoor entertaining.
Bardeny Hall retains its status as a statement home. It is an important residence intrinsic to the history of Barton, a dignified, sophisticated dwelling of evident charm and elegance: history brought home.
