Description
Bentley Tower, one of the oldest homes on Norwich Road, was originally built by the church in the 1840s, and was originally intended to serve as a guesthouse for travelling merchants and got its name from the nearby village of Bentley.
At the time of construction, the village – eight miles away – was visible from the hotel’s tower, although it still offers fantastic views.
As a hotel, the home was cared for and the owners ensured that many of the period features and charm was kept, as well as allowing for modernisation and upkeep where needed, making sure that this home kept its wonderful historic feel.
To the ground floor, through the entrance porch, you'll find yourself in the welcoming hallway, with two front facing reception rooms with large windows, marble fireplaces and original flooring. Follow the hallway through to the rear dining room where the layout has remained the same with the bar area and offers a cosy and interesting room to enjoy. There is then the kitchen, utility, two WCs and ground floor bedroom suite with ensuite.
To the first floor, you'll find 7 bedrooms and ensuites, an incredible layout offering huge variety for use and adjustment to suit the new owner's needs.
The top floor offers two generous bedrooms with ensuites, as well as built in wardrobes and storage.
The cellar is used for storage and is accessed from the ground floor and also from the garden.
Church of All Saints is located nearly a 5 minute drive from the property, and such natural sites as the 67-acre public Holywells Park are around 10 minutes away by car. Gippeswyk and Christchurch parks are close by and there is a popular bus route and stop within 500 metres of Bentley Tower.
