Historic Georgian manor with c.28.5 acres of grassland and farmyard potential.
Grade II listed late-Georgian manor with high ceilings and large rooms
Whisby Hall and farmyard is a substantial Grade II listed late-Georgian manor with extensive gardens, outbuildings and immediate access to approximately 11.55 hectares (28.55 acres) of grassland. The house retains high ceilings, large rooms and mature planted borders, plus formal south gardens, kitchen garden, greenhouses and a productive orchard. The holding includes a functional yard and brick farm buildings offering potential for agricultural use or sensitive redevelopment, subject to consents.
This lot will suit a buyer seeking a significant countryside asset: farmers, rural investors or purchasers wanting a historic home with land. The grazing fields are currently under licence until 1 September 2025; thereafter the grassland will be available with vacant possession. Several farm buildings adjoin the yard and could be adapted, but any conversion must respect the listed Hall and obtain necessary planning and listed-building consents.
Important constraints and practical points: the Hall’s listed status will complicate alterations and may increase repair costs; some works and development proposals will face statutory controls. Top House is occupied under a secure lifetime tenancy and the quarry haul road is subject to a lease and other holdovers as set out in the sale particulars. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — considerations for any occupier or rural business.
Overall, the property offers rare scale and mix of permanent grassland, amenity gardens and historic house, with clear potential for those prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and seek required consents for change of use or refurbishment.
