The Property
Wiserley Hall is a magnificent Grade II Listed farmhouse, situated in a rural yet convenient location close to the popular village of Wolsingham. Surrounded by approximately 4.34 acres of gardens, paddocks and orchards, Wiserley Hall provides complete privacy in a stunning setting rich with local wildlife.

The original stone-built structure, dating back to the 1600s, features a boulder plinth and ashlar dressings. The windows are predominantly timber with oak lintels, complemented by external ‘heritage’ lime mortars. It also features 17th-century wall paintings inside that were unveiled and authenticated by the Coulthard Institute for Art in London. The current owners possess a detailed report from the Coulthard Institute outlining the history of these paintings, as well as a comprehensive heritage and design report from the Northeast Vernacular Architectural Group (NEVAG).

Period features throughout the property include exposed, chamfered oak beams and flagstone flooring. Interior designs have been thoughtfully chosen to enhance and complement the property’s original style and character.

In addition to the farmhouse, there is a range of traditional outbuildings offering various possibilities including additional accommodation or the opportunity to create a fantastic business and lifestyle location with holiday lets, subject to the necessary consents.

A cross-passage entrance hall leads you from the front of the property to a private courtyard at the rear. To one side there is a beautifully appointed farmhouse kitchen and dining room. Cream shaker-style base units are complemented by ash and oak worktops, housing an integrated electric oven, NEFF induction hob and Belfast sink. Additional storage is provided by a traditional dresser in a matching design and an original pantry cupboard. Set within a deep stone fireplace is a cream electric AGA, complete with AIMS system to improve functionality and efficiency.

Whilst there is ample space for casual dining, a more formal dining experience can be enjoyed in the spacious drawing room located on the opposite side of the cross-passage. A unique feature of this space is the traditional wood burning stove with decorative embossing. Large windows flood the room with natural light and provide elegant window seating from which enjoy the views. Adjoining the drawing room is a spacious sitting room, featuring a stone fireplace with a modern wood-burning stove.

From here, you can access a traditionally styled ground-floor bathroom and a practical laundry room. The bathroom showcases a refurbished high-level siphon toilet, a cast iron roll-top bath, and an ornate pedestal sink positioned next to a stone fireplace. The laundry room, equipped with plumbing for a washing machine, also houses the oil-fired boiler.

The Listed 17th Century staircase leads to the first-floor landing and four impeccably furnished double bedrooms. The principal bedroom offers views to the south and west, wood flooring, a decorative fireplace, a sash window with window seat, and a built-in cupboard. The second bedroom also features a fireplace, a window seat and a built-in cupboard. The remaining two double bedrooms boast exposed beams, stone mullion windows and splendid views across the gardens.

The bedrooms are served by a spacious, contemporary bathroom with beautiful oak plank flooring and an original fireplace. This stylish space is equipped with a freestanding slipper bath and a Burlington shower, complete with chrome period fittings and fixtures.
