Description
Moor Court Hall is a Grade II listed mansion house set in 17 acres of landscaped gardens, stabling, garaging, and grazing paddocks in a picturesque countryside location. The property was originally constructed as a three-story Victorian gentlemen's country residence, later extended with late Victorian and Edwardian additions. The property has undergone various uses throughout the eras and has retained its home comforts, making it adaptable for multiple uses in the future. The interior features magnificent fireplaces, ornate cornicing, and a superb scale throughout the principal reception areas. The main reception area has beautiful oak flooring and an oak staircase leading to the first floor. The property has five individual kitchens and two self-contained apartments within the main Hall, providing ample opportunity for an exclusive use venue, wedding venue, or family home with additional staffing and support accommodation. The external spaces include a large garage with power and water, workshop facilities, and a self-contained annexe under renovation. The property's striking Neo Jacobean style exterior is surrounded by formal gardens, equestrian paddocks, and woodlands, offering far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The current owners have paid careful attention to the outside spaces, creating many sun-trap seating areas and private retreats hidden within the landscaping. The property also includes an intruder alarm, fire alarm, and extensive CCTV. The grounds offer equestrian facilities, including stabling, paddocks, and a tack room, as well as a large south-facing Victorian greenhouse and planting-out area, a Victorian summer house, a barbecue area, and a koi pond. The property has a rich history, having been owned by the Earl of Shrewsbury and later acquired by Alfred Sohier Bolton in the 19th century.
