Cleatham, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, DN21

Cleatham Hall is, at its heart, a magnificent family home, nestled amidst approximately 9 acres of North Lincolnshire’s serene countryside. This imposing country house, a testament to family living through the ages, was originally a plain Georgian box, lovingly transformed in 1855 into the elegant Palladian style.

While currently enjoyed as a boutique hotel, its inherent design and warmth reflect its true purpose: a spacious and welcoming family residence. Its location provides easy access to the charming villages of Scotter and Messingham, with excellent transport links via the A15 and M180, ideal for a family seeking both tranquility and connectivity.  

The ground floor, designed for both grand entertaining and the everyday rhythm of family life, features a welcoming reception hall, a comfortable sitting room, a bar, and a dining room. The well-appointed winter and commercial kitchens easily accommodate both large family gatherings and intimate meals. The bright and airy orangery, a recent addition, offers a peaceful space for family relaxation. The first floor presents a luxurious master bedroom with an ensuite, and five additional bedrooms, each with ensuite facilities, providing ample space for children, extended family, and guests.

Externally, Cleatham Hall extends its family-friendly appeal with the North Wing, comprising three bedrooms, all with ensuite facilities, and a generous reception room - perfect for multi-generational living, or as a dedicated guest wing. The property also includes a double garage and separate laundry facilities, adding to the home’s practicality for a busy family.

The grounds of Cleatham Hall are a true asset for equestrian enthusiasts. A sweeping drive leads to the main house, surrounded by beautifully landscaped lawn gardens on three sides. The most impressive expanse of lawn extends from the main entrance, bordered by mature trees and providing stunning vistas over the adjacent farmland. Mature trees further enhance the gardens, and approximately 6 acres of additional paddock land offer superb grazing potential. With ample space for potential stabling and a lunging pen, Cleatham Hall presents a rare opportunity to acquire what could be a distinguished equestrian property. Reverting to full residential status should be straightforward, as residential use is already in place, it would just be a case of removing the commercial element.
