The listing says: "Faintree Hall is a supremely handsome and notable Georgian country house, predominately dating back to the Georgian Era with later Victorian extensions.

"Approached via a long sweeping gravel driveway, which forks to either a formal gravel sweep in front of the hall, or to a large rear courtyard, Faintree Hall stands centrally within its 10.8 acres, occupying a commanding position with beautiful private surroundings.

"The immediate formal grounds provide thoughtful and mature planting, with two large pools to the front of the house and a fantastic historic part-walled garden to the east. 

"Surrounding the rear courtyard is a beautiful homestead, consisting of several Victorian stables, a tack room and a large double bay two storey barn. Adjacent to the barn is what is believed to be a former groom's cottage and brick-built dog kennels.

"At the head of the courtyard access is a detached barn, believed to be a former coach house. This building has previously had permission for conversion into residential use, although this has now lapsed. Ideal for equestrians is a bridleway accessible through the neighbouring property onto quiet country lanes ideal for horses.

"The grounds and buildings work incredibly well in providing a picturesque environment, whilst protecting the integrity of the Hall."
