A substantial Grade II* listed country house situated in about 20 acres of land, with detached cottages, stabling and an indoor swimming pool complex
Description
A magnificent, small country house, Thorpe Hall was built for Sir John Bolle in 1584 and later modernised and extended throughout the following centuries. The handsome red brick property is arranged around a central courtyard and includes the main house with an adjoining two bedroom housekeepers cottage, a three-bedroom cottage, two two-bedroom cottages and a further one bedroom cottage, stabling and garaging, to create a compact and easily manageable country estate set within about 20 acres of mature gardens and park-like grounds. In addition there is a detached leisure complex with an indoor swimming pool, changing rooms and showers, plus a kitchenette.
This handsome residence has retained many of its original features, including wall panelling, wood flooring, shutters and windows and decorative cornicing. The main house extends to about 9650 sq ft and comprises four reception rooms, a formal entrance hall and an utility space. Upstairs there are seven bedrooms, principal bedroom with en suite, twin basins and dressing room, a further bedroom offering en suite. Bedrooms four and five share a bathroom and plus one family bathroom.
Adjoined to the main house is the two bedroom Housekeepers cottage (1024 sq ft) with sitting room, kitchen and bathroom.
Hogswarts Cottage (1274 sq ft) is a two bedroom cottage with bathroom, WC and an open plan kitchen, sitting room and dining room.
The Old Coach House (1357 sq ft) is a two bedroom cottage with one en suite bedroom, bathroom, sitting room, kitchen and WC.
Gardeners Cottage (1582 sq ft) is a three bedroom cottage with one en suite bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/dining room and sitting room.
Piggery Cottage (442 sq ft) which is in the grounds of the estate is one bedroom cottage with en suite, kitchen and sitting room.
The grounds amount to about 20 acres and were laid out by Gertrude Jekyll in 1906, with terracing using stonework from Sir Christopher Wren’s church of St. Mildred in the Poultry. The grounds comprise paddocks, formal gardens, a tennis lawn and productive flower, fruit and herb gardens plus orchard trees. There is also a deer park, lake and access to the river Lud. The outbuildings, in addition to the leisure complex, include two stables and a tack room, a dovecote and further stores. The courtyard-style driveway provides ample parking and there is additional garaging for the main house and the coach house.
Thorpe Hall is located inside the Louth Conservation Area. The garden gates, pidgioncote and garden housegrade are also Grade II listed.
Location
Thorpe Hall is situated on the edge of the attractive market town of Louth which nestles in the rolling landscape of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Whilst the house is situated in the parish of South Elkington, Louth itself is within a mile and offers excellent amenities including shops and schooling including the King Edward Grammar School.
The Lincolnshire Wolds is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Louth offers excellent commuting further afield to the historic Cathedral city of Lincoln, as well as Grimsby to the north, Humberside Airport and the M180 motorway network. The Hill House Equestrian Centre is within 18 miles and holds regular affiliated dressage and show jumping events whilst National Hunt racing is located at Market Rasen approximately 15 miles away. The coast at Mablethorpe is also easily accessible.
