Esholt Hall is a fine example of a Grade II* listed building with residential properties, former stables and outbuildings plus substantial car parking areas, all set within approximately 22 acres of largely wooded grounds.
The Hall itself is predominantly two storey (with additional basement and second floor attic space) and is constructed in fine local stone with pitched roofs and attractive timber sash windows.
Both the ground floor and first floor of Esholt Hall provide a range of differently-sized rooms, all of which are in good condition and benefit from high quality carpeting, decorations, lighting, heating and excellent natural light.
Male and female toilets are provided on both floors with disabled facilities, an extensive kitchen/canteen and shower at ground floor.
Attached or linked to the main Esholt Hall building is a substantial beautiful conservatory, separate two-storey office/training building (the Computer Suite) and a terrace of four small external storage buildings previously used as a freezer store, boiler room, laundry, etc. There are other commercial and residential buildings included within the Esholt Hall Estate, further details of which are provided elsewhere within this brochure.
Across the remainder of the site, there are various specifically planned/designed areas for beekeeping, greenhouses, vegetable gardens and small outside training areas, all of which are set within the overall 22-acre site.
