Description
Set within approximately 160 acres (STS) Burton Hall is a remarkable Grade II* listed 18th-century country estate of notable historical and architectural interest, offering outstanding scope for sensitive modernisation, subject to necessary consents.
Superbly positioned in the sought after village of Burton, less than three miles from the historic city of Lincoln, the wider estate includes both a charming three-bedroom gatekeepers cottage and former granary building which now provides two self-contained apartments together with garaging and extensive storage.
Built in 1768 for Lord Monson, the Hall extends to around 11,000 square feet (STS) and offers impressive scale, natural light and grandeur. The estate is set amongst stunning parkland with wooded areas, pasture land and agricultural land.
Burton Hall features a magnificent entrance hall, elegant reception rooms and a spectacular quadruple-aspect living room, providing superb entertaining spaces. Expansive rooms, soaring ceilings and exquisite detailing define the interiors. A leisure wing – complete with an indoor swimming pool, sauna and bar – creates further spaces for entertaining. The upper floors offer eight well-proportioned bedrooms, including a triple-aspect principal bedroom, providing flexible accommodation for family, guests, or multigenerational living.
Rarely does a house of such stature, scale and setting come to the open market, presenting an exceptional opportunity to restore and reimagine one of the region’s finest country estates.
History of the Burton Hall estate
Designed by architect James Paine, Burton Hall was built in 1768 for Lord Monson. Constructed on the site of an earlier Tudor mansion, the hall was later enlarged to accommodate the Burton Hunt and its renowned hunt breakfasts.
The Monson family occupied the estate for more than 300 years, shaping its development. The north wing was demolished in the mid-20th century. The remaining south wing – a three-storey 18th-century house – was renovated and extended to provide additional accommodation and an indoor swimming pool.
Lodge Cottage is a former gatehouse which was extended and renovated around 25 years ago to create a detached property with a double garage and gardens.
The Granary forms part of a series of former estate outbuildings and dwellings. It was converted into two first-floor apartments, with garaging and storage on the ground floor.
