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.

Annunciata grew up in the wilds of Lancashire and now lives in Hampshire with a husband, two daughters and an awful pug called Parsley. She’s been floating round the Country Life office for more than a decade, her work winning the Property Magazine of the Year Award in 2022 (Property Press Awards). Before that, she had a two-year stint writing ‘all kinds of fiction’ for The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, worked in internal comms for Country Life’s publisher (which has had many names in recent years but was then called IPC Media), and spent another year researching for a historical biographer, whose then primary focus was Graham Greene and John Henry Newman and whose filing system was a collection of wardrobes and chests of drawers filled with torn scraps of paper. During this time, she regularly gave tours of 17th-century Milton Manor, Oxfordshire, which may or may not have been designed by Inigo Jones, and co-founded a literary, art and music festival, at which Johnny Flynn headlined. When not writing and editing for Country Life, Annunciata is also a director of TIN MAN ART, a contemporary art gallery founded in 2021 by her husband, James Elwes.
