Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Havant, PO9 :
PROPERTY SUMMARY 'Hall Place' is an imposing symmetrical Georgian Villa which sits proudly back from the road in a conservation area within the heart of the market town of Havant. Planning has been granted for the change of use from the existing offices to form two dwellings of this former Manor House. Purchased by the existing owners in 1979 they undertook the refurbishment to sympathetically restore the interior detailing whilst minimising any necessary modern rebuilding and alterations. On completion of the work now required to create two special homes, the new owner will have a four bedroom, four reception areas, family home with a two bedroom, two living rooms and two bathroom annexe. The property was granted Grade II listing status in 1975 but the origins of the main house date back to 1770 and remained in the 'Longcroft' family for over 200 years as the Manor House of Havant. No longer suited for a modern office environment it was felt the change of use to form a large four bedroom villa and two bedroom annexe would be the best option in order to retain its integrity and architectural character. Being sold in its current layout and format gives the potential buyer the opportunity to make their own mark on this historic building and to refurbish it to their own taste without affecting the existing infrastructure too much. Having good rail and road link to London (approx. 1 hour 20 mins) and the South Coast major cities, early viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate the internal accommodation, location and potential on offer.

OWNERS COMMENTS Hall Place was purchased in 1979 by Roy Roberts of the Owen Group to serve as the new group head office. Roy takes up the story: '' after ten years building a successful international marketing agency based in Havant, Hampshire, we purchased Hall Place as a prestige head office location. The building was in considerable disrepair when we bought it so we embarked on a restoration project lasting over eighteen months to return the former Manor House of Havant to it's original glory after the 200 years ownership by the historically important Longcroft family, who have a well documented 500 year history in the local area.
The restoration costs exceeded twice the purchase price because we re-constructed all the necessary infrastructure as well as the diligent restoration of the period interior detailing such as mouldings and the classic sweeping staircase. We made a few reversable interior changes to help configure the house as offices but our objective was to return the whole building to its original condition. The linked cottage had to be rebuilt from the first floor level.
In the 1980's the digital age was hard to imagine but although Hall Place has now been wired to keep up with the demands of the internet, The Owen Group is now a digital marketing agency and needs to move to a more compatable environment''.
Roy continues ''It will be sad to move from our business home which has helped our enterprise over a 35 year period, but we can re-invest the proceeds from Hall Place in a bespoke digital business environment and further invest in the software, equipment and skilled people that we need to move our business forward. Hall place will make a dramatic and impressive family home once again''
