deScRiptionRodwell Hall was formally a mansion built in the Victorian gothic renaissance and early 19th

Century style, creating a substantial three storey property with attic rooms and a grand tower.

In more recent years the property was divided into three residences, with South Rodwell Hall

being the major part.

South Rodwell Hall is approached via a driveway passing the former lodge, through a stone

pillared entrance with five bar gate, and leading to the ample driveway with a turning circle

to the front of the hall. The driveway also gives access to a large double garage, and a single

garage ideal for the sit-on lawn mower.

The handsome façade comprises of a pair of gable ends with a five sided tower, and an ornate

gothic ‘porte-cochere’ porch, with grand arches and a carved coat of arms.

On entering the property via double oak doors, the vestibule, cloakroom and grand hallway

enjoy the retained Minton coloured tiled flooring, and throughout the ground floor the fine

decorative motifs are breathtaking. There are arches with stiff leaf corbels and decorative

architrave creating a grand interior, and an original dresser with its fine carvings and glazed

doors, forming a focal point in the dining room along with matching corner dressers and

enhanced by the open fireplace.

The drawing room with its opulent sparkling Austrian crystal chandelier, handsome fireplace

and decorative ceiling, offers a wonderful spacious room with light flooding in via the large bay

window which overlooks the garden.

The kitchen is well appointed with integrated appliances and Flavel range oven, glazed doors

open to the sun room/conservatory which in turn has stone steps leading to the kitchen garden.

On the lower ground floor the utility room houses the commercial gas fired boiler, plumbing for

washing machine and ample storage space.

From the entrance hall, the stairs rise to the first floor with decorative arched windows creating

a light landing area. The master bedroom has a luxurious en suite, and there are three further

bedrooms with the smaller room being ideal as a dressing room.

The second floor is accessed via the tower staircase and comprises an open eaves space

currently used as a library, four further bedrooms and a family shower room. There is also access
