THE PROPERTY Ulting Hall is set back from a quiet lane behind high hedgerows within which park fencing and electrically operated iron gates open to a gravel driveway that leads to a large gravel sweep to the north-west of the house, with a second gated entrance further along the lane. A gate between deep shrub and herbaceous borders opens to a flagstone and brick pathway, flanked by level lawns and low box hedging, leading to the front door. The property presents colour washed rendered elevations relieved by wide sash windows, beneath red plain tiled roofs. Listed as being of Historical or Architectural Importance Grade II*, this manor house is thought to date from the 16th century or earlier with ‘later additions and alterations including fine late 18th century or early 19th century hall, staircase and study’. Documentary research attributes the ownership of the Manor itself to Hecen (1066), The Bainards, Fitzgilberts,Fitzwalters, De Ultings, Bourchiers and Parrs, to Thomas Heneage in 1626.

Many of the original features remain, especially in the Georgian part, with the hall containing five moulded modillions anthemion and palmette moulding to cornices and circular stairwell with sweeping staircase and wreathed handrail.

The galleried landing, which is supported by Tuscan columns with molded capitals and bases, has a tall alcove and three carved and paneled doors with molded surrounds to the circular walls and a dome with glazing bars and pointed stained glass finial. The Granary that lies between the house and the Gardener’s Cottage is also Listed Grade II in its own right. Thought to date from the 18th century, this timber framed, and weather-boarded granary sits on brick columns, with stone steps leading up to a vertically boarded door in the gable end. To the rear of the house is the summer house/shoot lodge which can seat 16 comfortably for dinner and which is a wonderful space for gatherings and parties away from the main house.

Grounds

The 180 acres of grounds at Ulting Hall have been transformed over the past 12 years into an award-winning conservation area. 4500 trees have been planted for hedging, over 1km of beetle banks have been created to provide for ground nesting birds and an area next to the river has been flooded though a sluice system to create a marsh for waders and splashes for duck. The fields are a patchwork of cover crops, nectar mixes and wildflowers. The estate is alive with wildlife including partridge, pheasant, brown hare, teal, snipe, deer and a host of songbirds. A track has been created around the boundary of the estate offering about 4km of walking or riding around the grounds. The estate holds its own family shoot which is run 5 days each year with an average bag of 50 birds per day.
