Lot 1 - Whisby Hall And Farmyard, With 10.08 Hectares (24.93 Acres) Of Grassland, Totalling 11.55 Hectares (28.55 Acres)

Whisby Hall is an attractive late Georgian manor house which has been in the same family for more than 100 years. The Hall was home to former wartime NFU President in 1942, Kit Nevile.

To the west of the Hall and gardens are a range of former traditional brick farm buildings which have some development potential, subject to the necessary consents and being mindful of the need to be sympathetic to the Grade II listed Hall.

The Hall enjoys thoughtfully planted gardens offering year round colour through a variety of shrubs and flowers. There are formal gardens to the south which include a patio and ponds as well as a kitchen garden and two greenhouses. The north side of the Hall has a more natural feel and is carpeted with snowdrops, crocus and daffodils in the spring. On this side there is also an orchard which provides plums, pears, apples, raspberries, gooseberries, fig, cherry and peach.

The yard includes several buildings which continue to be used for farming the land.

There is a grazing licence on the grass fields until 1st September 2025 after which vacant possession will be available on these fields.

The Hall is lotted with the grass paddocks surrounding it, to the north, south and east. To the west of the Hall, there is an orchard with views overlooking the adjoining farmland. The total area of this grassland is 10.08 hectares (24.93 acres). It can be accessed either off Thorpe Road or through the yard. All three grazing fields have access to a private water supply.

Accommodation

The Hall has well proportioned accommodation including 5 bedrooms, 6 reception rooms and 3 bathrooms. Outside there is a double garage together with a range of brick outbuildings which adjoin the traditional farm buildings in the yard. The Hall is Grade II listed, under list entry number 1061963. Whisby Hall is accessed off Thorpe Road along an inviting private driveway leading to ample parking space next to the Hall. The Hall can also be accessed on foot through the entrance to the yard.
