Features

The House

Gogarth Hall is a unique property of elegant proportions and suitable for a variety of uses. Rooms are of generous proportions in terms of both breadth and height and all walls and ceilings are clad in original antique pine, some of which are painted, as noted below.

Originally a hunting lodge, with later additions, the property is mainly of single storey construction and as such is very easily accessible. The house comprises two parts joined in the centre by an Entrance Hall, which also gives access to the wonderful enclosed Verandah which runs along one part of the property.

The one part houses the bedrooms and bathroom whilst the other provides the living accommodation. Being constructed in this way, the property offers flexible accommodation for a number of uses and further development is also possible (subject to gaining the necessary planning consents).
