Holme Hall is a substantial Grade II* Georgian country house dating from around 1720, set in approximately 9.68 acres of formal gardens and parkland on the edge of Holme-on-Spalding-Moor. The house comprises a very large internal area (circa 34,222 sq ft total) with numerous reception rooms, a chapel, commercial kitchens, extensive offices/treatment rooms and outbuildings, plus an annexe with two self-contained apartments. These features created its former use as a Sue Ryder care home and now provide strong scope for conversion to a boutique hotel, wedding or conferencing venue, or other multiple-occupancy enterprise.
Key value drivers are the building’s scale and period character — high ceilings, elegant cornicing and large sash windows — together with existing commercial kitchen fittings, separate staff/manager accommodation and substantial hardstanding/parking. The mature, well-maintained grounds, south-facing patio and workshop/gardener’s room add practical estate advantages and attractive outdoor event space. Mains services are connected (electricity, gas, water, drainage); mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should be clear-eyed about the material constraints. The Grade II* listing and the property’s age mean works will need listed-building consent and specialist conservation input; the listing is explicitly noted as “will cause difficulties.” The estate is large and will carry high running, maintenance and insurance costs; council tax is described as very expensive. Broadband is average, and conversion to alternative uses will entail significant capital expenditure and ongoing operational commitments.
For an investor or operator with conservation experience and capital to refurbish, Holme Hall offers a rare opportunity to create a distinctive destination venue or multi-unit enterprise in a well-connected village setting. For a private purchaser seeking a low-maintenance country home, the scale, listing obligations and likely refurbishment bill make this a specialist purchase rather than a straightforward buy.
