Follifoot Lane, Kirkby Overblow HG3

A rare opportunity to acquire this substantial and highly individual detached period residence, offering beautifully presented and exceptionally spacious accommodation together with attractive enclosed gardens, an impressive roof terrace with far-reaching countryside views, ample off-road parking, and a large integral garage.

Believed to date back to 1806, Brig Hall has a fascinating history, originally comprising five alms houses before being thoughtfully converted into a single residence. The property has since been substantially and sympathetically extended, creating a superb family home that seamlessly blends period character with contemporary living.
Accommodation


The original front section of the property retains a wealth of character and is centred around a welcoming reception hall and staircase leading to the upper floor. To either side lie two elegant reception spaces, each featuring exposed wooden beams and windows to both the front and rear elevations.

The superb living / dining kitchen forms the heart of the home and has been expertly created by combining two former reception rooms. The result is an impressive and sociable entertaining space fitted with an attractive range of Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by a central island with breakfast bar seating, integrated appliances, Aga range, Belfast sink, Quooker boiling tap and waste disposal unit. The adjoining dining area features a charming stone fireplace and bespoke fitted cabinetry, creating a warm and inviting setting for family gatherings. Opposite the kitchen, the sitting room provides a cosy yet elegant retreat with an original inglenook fireplace and solid-fuel stove forming an attractive focal point.

To the rear of the property, the extended section of the house introduces a striking contemporary reception or games room with a double-height ceiling and large windows overlooking the delightful gardens and surrounding countryside. This impressive space has direct access to a sheltered outdoor terrace and is complemented by an adjoining shower room, which offers potential for the installation of a sauna if desired. Additional ground-floor facilities include a guest cloakroom off the kitchen, and a utility room located within one of the adjoining outside storerooms.
First floor


The first floor provides extensive and flexible accommodation comprising six well-proportioned bedrooms, together with a dedicated home office and a fully fitted dressing room. Two luxurious bath/shower rooms serve the bedrooms, finished to a high standard. A spiral staircase leads to the spectacular roof terrace, a standout feature of the property which provides a superb outdoor entertaining area enjoying beautiful views across the surrounding countryside. Power and water supplies are already in place, offering the opportunity to create an outdoor kitchen if desired.
Outside


Brig Hall stands within attractive private gardens and benefits from generous parking arrangements. A private parking area opposite the property provides space for up to five vehicles, while additional driveways to either side of the house offer further parking, one of which leads to the large integral garage. To the rear, the property enjoys a beautifully landscaped enclosed garden featuring a central lawn, well-stocked borders, and several patio seating areas, together with a bespoke built-in barbecue. Backing directly onto open countryside, this delightful outdoor space provides a high degree of privacy and creates an idyllic setting for outdoor living and entertaining.
