Historic hall hits the market
A HISTORIC Grade II listed building in a South Yorkshire village which can trace its roots back to the Domesday Book is up for sale.
Chartered surveyor and property consultancy Sanderson Weatherall has been instructed on Burghwallis Hall, a former home for the elderly, on behalf of the Diocese of Hallam, with the firm’s Leeds office now seeking potential buyers for the site in the Doncaster area.
Tom Garrud from the Diocese of Hallam, said: “Burghwallis Hall is a fantastic property with a great history and it’s also in a fantastic location. The building has been a great servant to the Diocese and a wonderful home to the family that lived there for many hundreds of years before that. It is now time to enlist others with the opportunity and responsibility for the next stage of the property’s use.”
Offers for the freehold interest in the building, situated south of Grange Lane, in the village of Burghwallis are being invited.
Sanderson Weatherall partner Andrew Ellis said: “Burghwallis Hall offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-known historic building with centuries of heritage. The property was until recently a 28-bedroom residential care home, but with the correct planning permissions it could easily again become a fantastic family home.”
The informal planning brief identifies the potential removal of later additions to the main building, which could allow the sympathetic refurbishment of the original parts of the hall, and conversion back to residential use.
It is also anticipated that, subject to the necessary approvals, consent may be obtained to develop two areas in particular within the grounds, extending to around 0.72 and 0.29 hectares respectively, which could accommodate six detached residential properties.
