Situation
Fyfield Hall is an historically important Grade I listed manor house set
in a highly regarded country village location, opposite the picturesque
twelfth century village church, just 25 miles from the city. The property
occupies a semi-rural location yet is within walking distance of Fyfield
village. Fyfield benefits from ancient inns, The Queens Head and The
Black Bull, a post office/village store and it is also well located with
access to public and state schools including the Ongar Academy
which is opening in September 2015.
History
Fyfield Hall, a timber framed aisled hall, has been dated to 1167-85.
The hall was the main manor of Fyfield and once had 210 acres of
land. At the heart of the present manor house is an aisled hall, built
from timbers felled in the twelfth century. During the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries the house was extended with the addition
of cross-wings at both ends of the open hall. Fyfield Hall is among
the earliest surviving timber framed buildings which has now been
beautifully restored for future generations to enjoy.
Description
The house has undergone a complete high quality restoration
providing a unique fusion of elegant period features with the
conveniences sought in the 21st century including high quality
kitchen, sumptuous bathrooms and self contained cottage. The
house offers a rich tapestry of surviving historical detail including a
red brick sixteenth century chimney and staircase, herringbone tiled
floor and several fireplaces intertwined with some beautiful exposed
timbers. Despite its age, Fyfield Hall offers generous light filled and
versatile accommodation with generously proportioned reception
rooms and bedrooms and at the heart of the house is a beautiful
bespoke Chalon designed kitchen which overlooks the grounds to
the south.
The accommodation extends to some 6,000 square feet and the
formal entertaining space and family friendly living space flows
seamlessly together. A stunning medieval entrance door opens into
a breathtaking great hall approximately 17’ x 15’ feet with lovely
views over the grounds to the south, incorporating an inglenook
red brick fireplace with log burner. The key reception rooms of the
house, including the drawing room, sitting room, dining room, library,
snug and adjoining kitchen/breakfast room are arranged around the
impressive great hall. The finish throughout is exemplary, with the
use of Heritage colours complementing the high quality bespoke
craftsmanship such as the hand built kitchen, panelled snug and
bespoke fitted library.
On the first floor are five good sized bedrooms: the master bedroom
suite comprises a 20’11 x 17’ feet bedroom with a beautifully
appointed en suite bathroom. There are four further double
bedrooms and three sumptuously appointed bathrooms approached
over two separate staircases.
The east wing of Fyfield Hall comprises a self-contained one bedroom
cottage including a living room, bedroom, kitchen and shower room.
Outside
The grounds of Fyfield Hall have been landscaped with extensive lawns
and beautiful views to the south towards Fyfield Church. Along the
eastern boundary lies a small lake and a scattering of mature trees.
To the west, adjacent to the entrance drive lies a leisure field which
gently slopes down towards the River Roding. The gravelled entrance
drive passes through the grounds to the front (north) side of the house
adjacent to the cottage and detached outbuilding/garaging.
