Mock Beggar Hall Dating from the early 17th century, Mock Beggar Hall is a finelisted country house of English bond brickwork under a blackand red pantiled roof. The property displays many of thefeatures of its Jacobean origins including timber mullion andtransom windows, many with working shutters, across theprincipal eastern elevation, together with crow stepped gableends connected by battlements. The house is also mentionedin Sir Nikolaus Pevsner’s Authoritative Guide “Buildings ofEngland”.

The interesting and unusual name, Mock Beggar Hall, isthought originally to have meant “a grand, ostentatious house,where no hospitality is afforded, neither is any charity given”!

The current owners have carried out a series of updates andrenovations to the house and landscaped formal areas ofgarden and converted the Old Stables into an idyllic holidaycottage. The house offers light and airy, well-proportionedfamily accommodation, with excellent ceiling heights, arrangedprincipally over two storeys with further attic accommodationon the second floor which offers scope to create morebedrooms.

There is a central reception hall which leads into three beautifulreception rooms with fine marble fireplaces in the drawing anddining rooms. The drawing room has superb dimensions, adouble aspect; facing south and east and a wood burningstove. The study is at front of the house with book shelvingand an east facing aspect.

The reception hall also leads into the wonderfully lightkitchen/breakfast room which has an oil-fired Aga, a well-fittedkitchen with granite work surfaces and a south facing aspectlooking out over the gardens and courtyard. A further doorleads through into a rear hallway where there is access into theutility/laundry and family room which has a feature bread ovenand a multi-fuel stove.

There are three separate staircases which lead up onto the firstfloor of the house. The main fine Victorian staircase built in aJacobean style, leads up from the reception hall onto a centrallanding which gives access into the three main bedrooms, twoof which are en suite and have fitted wardrobes. All of thebedrooms are of good dimensions and natural light. A furtherroom which could make a first floor study, provides access toa winding staircase, which leads down into thekitchen/breakfast room and up to the second floor where thereare further bedrooms and attic rooms.

A further staircase leads up from the family room, into a furtherbedroom which has built in wardrobes.
