A handsome Georgian house near Marlborough with lovely interiors and a fabulous entertaining barn
Annunciata Elwes takes a look at Green Hall, in the village of East Grafton, with its fine period features and exciting additional living space.


Handsome and well proportioned, Green Hall at East Grafton, near Hungerford and Marlborough, is a classic Georgian village house with four bedrooms and a modern orangery from which to admire garden views, with three acres of formal lawns, kitchen garden, colourful borders, mature trees, pond and gazebo.
The handsome home is currently on the market via Savills with a guide price of £3 million.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom overlooks the village green and a separate L-shaped party barn contains a fireplace at each end, bedroom, kitchen and shower room, with planning permission in place for an extra bedroom; the combination of the two residential properties makes Green Hall ‘perfect for multi-generational living,’ says agent Liz McLean.
Various other outbuildings include car ports, garage, machinery storage and studio.
