Property description
High Hedgefield House, hidden away is this quirky and stunning grade II listed georgian manor house, located on the edge of the popular village of Ryton this unique detached property is secluded and boasts extensive half acre gardens.
Built in 1780, it was a farm for many years and later a pub, The Royal Oak, to which a coach house was added in 1850. It then became a rectory before the Stella Coke Company bought it, and pit manager Lanky Bell was based there.
The property benefits from the original coach house which has been developed into a delightful two storey one bedroom residence, making an ideal granny flat or rental opportunity. Currently rented on a six month shorthold tenancy, this provides an income of 700pcm. The property retains much of its original charm and features, creating a modern home with history mixed right through. The coach house comprises of entrance lobby, open plan lounge through to kitchen, wc, stairs to the spacious first floor landing area, large bedroom and bathroom.
The manor house itself briefly comprises of ground floor entrance lobby, entrance hall, lounge, dining room, living room, kitchen/breakfast room, cellar, larder, utility room, inner hall and cloakroom/w.c whilst to the first floor the bright and airy landing gives access to the master bedroom having en-suite shower/wc, another bedroom with en-suite bathroom/wc, and three further double bedrooms and family bathroom/w.c
The current owners have recently revamped both properties but have remained true to the original style and character of the property. Many of the rooms have the original feature fire places and exposed floorboards.
