9 bed detached house for sale

Cleatham, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire DN21

Cleatham Hall is a magnificent Grade II listed country house set within approximately 9 acres of peaceful North Lincolnshire countryside. Dating back in part to the 18th century, with impressive Classical Revival additions in 1855, the house combines historic grandeur with modern practicality in a way rarely seen.

Remarkably for a listed country house of this age and scale, the property benefits from an EPC rating of A! An exceptional achievement that sets Cleatham Hall apart from many historic estates.

The Hall also holds notable historic interest as the ancestral estate of Charles Darwin, whose family owned the property in the early 17th century.

Currently operating as a boutique hotel, the generous accommodation could equally lend itself to reinstatement as a substantial private residence. The ground floor offers a welcoming reception hall leading to elegant reception rooms, including a sitting room, dining room, bar and impressive orangery, alongside both winter and commercial kitchens suited to entertaining on any scale.

Upstairs, the main house provides a luxurious principal suite and five further ensuite bedrooms, while the North Wing offers three additional ensuite bedrooms and a reception room-ideal for guest accommodation, multigenerational living or staff quarters.

Outside, a sweeping driveway approaches landscaped gardens surrounding the Hall, with open views across the surrounding countryside. In addition, there are approximately 6 acres of paddock land, offering particular appeal to equestrian buyers, subject to any necessary consents.

Cleatham Hall represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic country estate combining architectural pedigree, generous grounds and the highly unusual benefit of an EPC A rating.
