It is not every day an eight-bedroom house goes on the market but this historic home on the Shotley peninsula can be yours for a cool £1.85million.

Nestled neatly between Holbrook and the edge of Brantham in the Little Hall is close to two pubs, a wonderful community shop and enjoys panoramic views over the river Stour. This Edwardian mansion is understood to have been in the Fison family for nearly 80 years.

The highly regarded architect Colonel Harold Ridley Hooper designed the house in 1927 for Mrs Fison and the current owners moved in 23 years ago.

Made up of six bedrooms in the main house, and two in an annexe, the home sits in 2.5 acres with woodland and gardens along with former tennis and squash courts.

The house is being marketed by Savills and although admitting Little Hall was in need of modernisation, a spokesman said: "Suerbly positioned country house with southerly views over the River Stour location, Little Hall occupies one of the finest positions along the east coast, with uninterrupted views over the River Stour.

"The house is set back off a quiet country lane and is focused to take full advantage of the panoramic views over the River Stour. "
