About this property
Shore Hall is a distinguished and beautifully updated family home, with its origins dating back to the late 14th century. Over the centuries, thoughtful additions have enhanced its scale and versatility, creating a residence brimming with warmth, character, and timeless elegance.
The ground floor provides an impressive expanse of living space with log burners throughout, perfectly suited to both relaxed family life and entertaining on a grand scale. To the front of the house, a welcoming sitting room and an elegant formal dining room set the tone.

A practical fitted pantry & utility room links the main house to the old granary, which has been converted into a two-storey, one-bedroom annexe, benefitting from independent access – ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or a lucrative holiday let.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts three generously proportioned bedrooms, each unique in character. Two enjoy stylish en suite shower rooms, supplementing a substantial family bathroom. The top storey offers further flexibility with a fourth bedroom, bathroom, and dedicated sitting room, perfect for extended family stays or visiting guests. Additional storage is available in the useful cellar.
