Glazeley Hall has been described by so many as a dream home, and it’s unique in so many ways as it combines an enviable location and spectacular views with a home that is truly magnificent. These types of properties are few and far between, and like owners who have come before us, we like to think we will leave the Hall enhanced and ready for the next lucky owners to enjoy.” Glazeley Hall PAGES.indd 2 13/04/2021 08:40 Glazeley Hall PAGES.indd 3 13/04/2021 08:41 Glazeley Hall PAGES.indd 4 13/04/2021 08:41 SELLER INSIGHT Nestled within the picturesque rural hamlet of Glazeley is Glazeley Hall, a magnificent country house that boasts three acres of beautiful gardens and grounds, as well as spectacular far-reaching views. “Having lived in the hamlet for ten years, when Glazeley Hall came on the market we didn’t think twice about purchasing it,” says the owner. “It’s one of those rare and unique homes that combines so many different aspects that one looks for when buying a property. The house is set in wonderful grounds that combine areas for outdoor living and dining, attractive formal gardens, a well established Bramley apple orchard and three paddocks beyond. Although substantial in size, the property is a real home and the unique layout provides the homely feel that is so important.” “The house was just lovely when we bought it, but over the years we’ve undertaken sympathetic improvements here and there and, as previous owners have done before us, kept the heart and soul of the house whilst making it even more comfortable to live in. The house now benefits from double glazing, an amazing five-oven electric Aga that forms a centrepiece of the kitchen, and we’ve also updated the bathrooms. At the same time, wherever possible we have renovated or restored. For example, the previously boxed in and painted original roll top bath in the first-floor bathroom has been hand restored, doors and fireplaces have been stripped of hundreds of years of paint to expose intricate details and also a glance into the history books as to how furniture was made.” “This is such a warm and welcoming family home and it’s exceptionally conducive to entertaining, both indoors or out,” continues the owner. “During winter, the dining room with its large wood burner makes the ideal place to enjoy Christmas lunch, whilst the sitting room is a cosy retreat to settle down in front of the wood burner to watch a great movie. Breakfast on the terrace during the springtime is magical; there’s something really special about watching the sunrise accompanied by birdsong while enjoying a pot of coffee and a warm croissant. And in the summer the drawing room is flooded with light from the south and the west, and we love opening the windows to let in the cool evening breeze.” “There is no one standout room at Glazeley Hall; every room has purpose and there is a room for every occasion and every season.” “Memories are created every day at Glazeley Hall where there’s so much to enjoy. Celebrating birthdays in the summer with big family BBQs, New Year’s Eve dinners in front of a roaring fire or simply supper in front of the Aga, just the two of us… What’s not to love? It’s all about making memories.” * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
