In more recent years the property was divided into three residences, with South Rodwell Hall being the major part. South Rodwell Hall is approached via a driveway passing the former lodge, through a stone pillared entrance with five bar gate, and leading to the ample driveway with a turning circle to the front of the hall. The driveway also gives access to a large double garage, and a single garage ideal for the sit-on lawn mower. The handsome façade comprises of a pair of gable ends with a five sided tower, and an ornate gothic porte-cochere porch, with grand arches and a carved coat of arms. On entering the property via double oak doors, the vestibule, cloakroom and grand hallway enjoy the retained Minton coloured tiled flooring, and throughout the ground floor the fine decorative motifs are breathtaking. There are arches with stiff leaf corbels and decorative architrave creating a grand interior, and an original dresser with its fine carvings and glazed doors, forming a focal point in the dining room along with matching corner dressers and enhanced by the open fireplace. The drawing room with its opulent sparkling Austrian crystal chandelier, handsome fireplace and decorative ceiling, offers a wonderful spacious room with light flooding in via the large bay window which overlooks the garden. The kitchen is well appointed with integrated appliances and Flavel range oven, glazed doors open to the sun room/conservatory which in turn has stone steps leading to the kitchen garden.
