Words from the current owner:
“What attracted me to The Orwell at Preston Hall was its history and the fantastic architecture. The building, the grounds and the period features of this opulent building I know I will be unlikely to find again!
I knew from the first time I viewed the property that it had something very special. The property boasts stunning original features, such as the ornate beams and vaulted ceiling and the more recent additions such as the glass encased spiral staircase and the solid glass fronted 500 hole wine room blends history with a modern take.
Each room has been finished to a high standard and since living here I have changed the lights to my favourite crystal chandeliers in all the rooms, upgraded many of the features as well as adding customised length curtains and upholstery to give a more personal touch.
The grounds too are a pleasure to behold. I will miss the beautiful drive in to this prestigious building and the 200 yard view when entering, which has always reminded me of a scene from Downtown Abbey.”
