Planning consent for change of use to a residential property.

A substantial stone built country house approx. 10,000 sq ft. Currently used as an office headquarters building (planning Class B1 (A)) and with planning permission for the change of use

to a dwelling house (Class C3). Separate detached substantial renovated period coach house

approx. 4,500 sq ft.

Glorious private mature grounds and gardens, approx. 5.25 acres or thereabouts.

Originally part of the Fitzwilliam Wentworth Estate.

DescriptionHoober House is a fine period stone built detached residence

currently used as a headquarters offices and together with the

refurbished coach house now benefits from planning consent for

change of use back to a residential property.

Originally part of the renowned Fitzwilliam Wentworth Estate, the

property sits in a semi-elevated position with glorious west facing

views across the adjoining Wentworth Estate.

Built as the Dower House for the principal historic residence of

Wentworth Woodhouse, this is an opportunity either to continue

the commercial use the property now enjoys or to restore

the house back to family occupation with the ability to create

additional accommodation within the substantial detached coach

house as leisure facilities, continued use as office or additional

residential accommodation.

Within the main house, all of what could be created as principal

reception rooms both on ground and first floor, enjoy the stunning

aspect over the front lawned gardens to the open countryside, both of

the Wentworth Estate and beyond.

The layout of the main house would enable a substantial yet

manageable country house to be recreated with a range of adjoining

and very useful rooms set to the rear with independent access and

ability to create a separate annexe if required.

There is an impressive sweeping tree lined driveway approach to the

main property with extensive parking, an adjoining paddock and a

further driveway leading through into Hoober Village, the whole site

offering a good degree of privacy.

The nearby two storey stone coach house has been comprehensively

renovated and is currently used as offices and a training facility with its

own courtyard area, side parking courtyard with a range of renovated

outbuildings. This is ideally suited for potential adaptation for a leisure

centre, home office or adaptation for residential purposes.

Each of the two substantial properties enjoys independent central

heating and drainage to a modern private system.

LocationHoober House enjoys an enviable location originally set within the

Wentworth Estate and set within easy reach of the M1 motorway at

junction 35, approx 5 miles and Sheffield, together with a wide range of

regional and national centres.

The Fitzwilliam Wentworth Estate is located close by and around the

property and Wentworth Woodhouse which sits close by within the

Estate is mentioned in Nikolaus Pevsner’s ‘The Buildings of England’

as one of England’s greatest and most remarkable houses. It has a

celebrated and ambitious Palladian façade extending to over 600ft and

famous for being the longest front of any English country house.

The Estate and the village offer outstanding architectural buildings

and there are a number of follies and monuments in the surrounding

area including Hoober Stand, a 30m high Grade II Listed building set

on the ridge nearby to Hoober House and constructed in the mid-

18th Century.
