As you walk up through the balustrade stone steps and through the imposing entrance porch at the front of the house you enter into the large main hall with its high ornate ceilings, grand stone fireplace with the house crest incased and the flowing oak staircase, you immediately recognise the grandeur that is Middleton Hall. Stone mullioned windows on both sides of the hall allow light to flow in creating a bright and airy feeling creating the perfect ambiance to sit and relax with family and friends on the large comfortable seating area.
Adjacent to the main hall is the dining room. This room with its high ceilings decorated with the finest Victorian cornices and wall paneling to match the Italian fireplace the room is filled with light from the stone mullioned floor to ceiling window which been the width of the room allows beautiful views down the private drive to the gardens and lake. On arrival the dining room will be set to seat up to 24 of your guests on one long table, which will be dressed with candelabras and luxurious table linen and table runners.

A favorite with many of our guests is our stunningly beautiful orangery.

An abundance of wildlife will keep you amused and often distract you from your morning paper.

The gardens and wooded area at Middleton Hall are constantly changing. The old walled Victorian garden with the original greenhouses that sit proudly in the distant. Middleton Hall’s next big challenge is to bring these gardens back to life and provide enough fresh vegetables and fruit to cater for the house. The large and very established wooded area wraps around the estate with impressive and grand trees allowing you to feel lost in your secret garden.
