Come On In…

Stone steps rise up, passing flowerbeds where the bright red blooms of peonies greet you. The hallway extends before you, giving access to the rooms on either side. Your eye is drawn to the feature fireplace at the head of the corridor. Off the hallway is a WC with twin marble hand basins.

Grand Living Spaces…

The living room is at the front of the home and has an impressive fireplace, which is perfect for a roaring open fire on a chilly evening.

The dining room is a show-stopping space. Impressive oak panelling covers the walls and there is intricate plasterwork on the ceiling and frieze. The fireplace is large and imposing, a mark of the importance of this home. This is a wonderful room with a rich history and sense of grandeur, perfect for hosting glamorous dinner parties or lavish Christmas gatherings.

“Christmas is always an excellent gathering of the whole family at Headlands Hall.”

For a moment of calm, there is a cosy snug with a multi-fuel stove at the rear of the home. It is ideal for a relaxed evening in front of the TV or to curl up with a good book.

Heart Of The Home…

The kitchen is a functional and social space where meals are prepared and enjoyed by the family. The Aga keeps the whole room warm and is excellent for cooking. A farmhouse table sits in the centre and can tell of many years of breakfasts, lunches and dinners of the many families that have loved and lived in this magnificent home.

The utility room houses many modern conveniences and appliances, with space for a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer. There is also a traditional walk-in pantry to store food and dry goods, ensuring that the property is not only steeped in history but also equipped for modern living.

There is also a vaulted cellar below that provides storage with a decent head height.

Charming Bedrooms…

Oak-panelled walls extend up the turned staircase, where light pours in through the picture window. Here, you will find access to the five bedrooms, each with its own unique character and charm, and ample space for a comfortable living experience.

The first bedroom on the left has a marvellous vaulted ceiling with exposed roof timbers. The bed is positioned perfectly for a view out of the window.

“Enjoying your first cup of tea of the day from bed as you look out of the window is a lovely way to start your day.”

There are three further bedrooms, each a very good size, with exposed beams and roof trusses. One of the bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom with bath, shower, wash basin, bidet and WC. Finally, on the first floor is a room currently used as a study but could also be perfectly serviceable as a fifth bedroom.

The house bathroom has a unique powder blue suite that was actually featured in Ideal Homes magazine many years ago. It has a bath and separate shower cubicle, as well as a WC and wash hand basin.
