Hundreds of years of history in this four-bedroom detached house in North Elmsall

Some parts of North Elmsall Hall are Grade II-listed and are thought to date back to the 12th century. Substantially renovated over recent years, the house has nevertheless retained many distinguishing architectural details including a medieval fireplace in the Great Hall, original beams rescued from the West Wing of the hall before its demolition and a 'rain sill' in the external stonework.

The hall, which features in the Domesday book, once formed part of the De Lacy Estate and still retains some fascinating period details such as a wine cellar with arched Norman brick roof, a gate post with horse and carriage stones and oak truss beams and pegs dating back around 700 years.On the ground floor is an open plan kitchen/dining room, separate utility room, imposing hallway with feature fireplace and original oak staircase with impressive vaulted glass ceiling and views over the lawns at the rear, dining area with access to the cellar, Great Hall (large living room) with tall feature windows and medieval fireplace, downstairs bedroom/study and a WC.

The first floor landing also has a feature fireplace, vaulted glass ceiling and views over the gardens. The master bedroom boasts a walk-in wardrobe, en suite shower room and Juliet balcony overlooking the old hall, again full of character including exposed timbers and beams.

The two further bedrooms are of generous sizes and are served by the main house bathroom. The additional wing of the hall has previous been granted planning permission to convert into an additional residential dwelling (plans and architectural impression available) or for further accommodation to the main house.

Externally, there is a private garden to the front of the property, primarily laid to lawn with patio seating area, orchard with mature fruit trees, fenced paddock and ample parking for several vehicles. Further established gardens to the side and rear.

The property is on the market with Richard Kendall Estate Agent for £750,000.
