Auction House describes the property as “an elegant and beautifully appointed late Georgian country house set in seven acres of mature and private gardens”.
In recent years Ashmans Hall has been successfully used as a holiday let for weekend use, providing a “significant income” which could be raised if the period of availability was extended.
Ashmans Hall includes a number of outstanding character features throughout that have been sympathetically restored by the current owners over the past 30 years. Not least the sweeping central split staircase, which sits within the circular central atrium off the entrance hall.
Also included on the ground floor are five spacious reception rooms – a drawing room, sitting room, study, dining room and TV room – as well as a large, country-style kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga, and a laundry room and cloakroom.
The magnificent central staircase leads to a circular galleried landing on the first floor, which provides access to a generous eight bedrooms, four of which have en suite bathrooms, and a shower room.
To the rear of the property is the north wing. It comprises four bedrooms and is available with vacant possession.
Four studio flats, which are currently let producing £30,000, are also available to the main house’s buyer.
Auction House notes that Ashmans Hall can be sold with many of the furnishings, which are available by separate negotiation.
