Boasting many of its period hallmarks, the six-bedroom property has original fireplaces, cornices and ceiling roses.
The property on Church Road, Quarndon was renovated in 2019 with a new roof and boiler, rewiring, new insulation and replacement of all windows. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, CCTV, security alarms and wiring for a sound system.
Luke Billson, of Savills who is marketing the property, said: “An offering such as Quarndon Hall is truly a rare visitor to the market in this highly desirable village and as such is already creating a lot of excitement and interest.”
The bespoke kitchen holds ample base and wall storage, in addition to glass fronted display cabinets, open shelving units and a central island with breakfast bar seating and retractable power sockets. Appliances include a full height integrated fridge, undercounter freezer, a microwave, steam oven, two warming drawers, a wine cooler and coffee machine. There is also a separate range style oven with induction hob and extractor above. (Photo: Savills)
The accommodation elegantly blends period and modern detailing, with generously proportioned open plan spaces providing ample room for entertaining at home. The layout affords six bedrooms over the first and second floors, plus three well-appointed bathrooms.
There is a gym, attached garaging, cellars and storage space with annexe potential.
Magnificent gardens contain an Italianate-style temple and cascading ponds.
A brick building in the grounds has planning permission to be converted into residential accommodation should potential buyers wish to action it.
This open plan family space to the rear elevation encompasses a charming snug area, garden room, a dining space and the kitchen. (Photo: Savills)

A walkway connects the main house to the neighbouring building which is currently used as a spacious gym with adjoining storage rooms. This has the potential to be converted into an annexe with independent outside space, subject to the necessary consents. (Photo: Savills)

A previous owner and gardener introduced more than 1000 species of rhododendron, 80 species of camellia and some 1300 different types of heather into the grounds of Quarndon Hall. (Photo: Savills)
There are two brick buildings, one a small cottage that was once used by the gardeners of Quarndon Hall and the other a larger structure adjacent to the Italian themed garden area. This larger structure has planning permission to be converted into residential accommodation and would make an excellent detached annexe or housing for younger adults of the family. (Photo: Savills)
Even as some Tories are getting real about the issue, Labour is doubling down. It could try just being honest with the public, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are an “impatient” couple who “ran hot” while negotiating their exit from the Royal family, biographer Omid Scobie has said as he attempts to distance himself from the label of “Meg’s pal”.
How’s Brexit working out? There have been some marginal positives, but in terms of the economy, it’s been mainly downside, and on the issues that really matter to voters – particularly immigration and a better functioning health service with more money behind it – Brexit has so far manifestly failed to deliver.
