Folkingham

Apartment 4, The Ballroom, at The Greyhound, is the largest apartment within a unique conversion of a former 16th Century Georgian Grade 2 listed Coaching Inn dating back to 1611. When The Greyhound was converted, there became 10 individual units, accessed via security entry system leading to an elegant communal entrance hallway which leads through to a pleasant glazed atrium. The accommodation of The Ballroom apartment is hugely versatile, providing 2 bedrooms, but as the original ballroom itself is so large, and with the kitchen at one end it is likely that this room will provide the main living area for the property, allowing the second sitting room to then become a fabulous master bedroom with open fireplace. Downstairs, in addition to the 2 bedrooms, there is an area, open at present and used as a study, which, with the installation of a door, could become another bedroom.

General Information
This is a huge split level apartment of approximately 2500 square feet, and is the largest one within the Greyhound conversion. The main feature of the apartment is the Ballroom itself, a room of generous proportions being 40' long with high ceilings open fireplace, and which has the kitchen area to one end. Whilst there is a second large sitting room, it is felt that that room would provide a lovely spacious master bedroom. This apartment really has to be viewed to understand the space available !

Communal Hallway
An external key pad with entryphone links to the apartment itself to give access to the communal hall. The communal hallway provides, as one would expect, an elegant entrance to the scheme, with flagstone flooring, sofa, exposed stonework. This opens to an inner hallway with stairs leading to the main entrance door of the apartment. There is also a secondary door leading to an additional entrance into the apartment.
