Widmerpool Hall restored to former glory

4th September 2009 Print
Widmerpool Hall restored to former glory Leading residential developer Manor Kingdom is pleased to announce the completion of its careful renovation of the Grade II listed Widmerpool Hall set within 20 acres of green open space just 10 miles south of Nottingham.

Here eager homebuyers now have the opportunity to purchase a luxury new home from a collection of 9 apartments, 4 detached and 11 mews homes all rich in character and style and designed to an impressive specification.

The magnificent building dates back to 1871 and was originally designed by British born architect Henry Clutton, a noted architect whose works include the von Essen Cliveden Hotel in Taplow, Lille Cathedral, Westminster Cathedral and Grosvenor House to name but a few.

Clutton’s ‘Jacobethan’ design for Widmerpool Hall was very much a return to a favoured style when building commenced. The materials specified for the house demanded the highest quality throughout. Henry was well known for very individual styling and his particular attention to detail is also reflected in the Hall’s interior where marble fireplaces, painted glass windows, ornate panelling and generously moulded plaster work provide outstanding period features in many rooms.

Debbie Williams of Manor Kingdom comments: “Widmerpool Hall is truly remarkable – a secluded oasis with an illustrious history that any purchaser would be proud to be part of. Marrying old with new, the development will appeal to those looking for a new home with character as well as modern technology and specification. We have already taken our first reservations on the site and would therefore advise interested purchasers to visit us as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment in missing out.”

Sitting to the left and right of the main Hall, the three and four bedroom mews cottages reflect the traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail found in both the apartments and detached homes.

Tastefully designed interiors mirror the space and openness of the Hall’s extensive grounds, whilst private, enclosed gardens and garages afford additional privacy and that extra little bit of security. Finishes include ebony granite and high-specification appliances in the kitchen which complement the Villeroy & Boch sanitary-ware, Hansgrohe taps and Porcelanosa tiles in each bathroom.

Offering a combination of two and three bedroom apartments and three bedroom duplexes, the impressive properties are just as spacious as some two bedroom houses in Nottingham. High ceilings and period detail in the living rooms and bedrooms are complemented by state-of-the art entertainment systems, stunning kitchens and five-star bathrooms. Traditional casement windows wrap each room in soft, clear county light, and give each apartment a sense of scale and openness not often found in a modern home.

The village of Widmerpool is a popular choice for those who prefer to combine a country lifestyle with easy access to nearby towns and cities. The village is approximately 10 miles south of Nottingham and just a few miles from the county boundaries of neighbouring Leicestershire and Derbyshire.

Prices for a two bedroom apartment start from £264,950 while three and four bedroom mews houses start from £399,950.
