Grade II listed country house on the market for £2.3m

A Grade II listed country house Upton Hall in Southwell, Nottingham is now on the market for offers in the region of £2.3m.

Currently serving as the headquarters of the British Horological Institute, the property spans around 21,000 sq ft and dates back to 956, when King Edwyn granted the land to Archbishop Oscyter of York.

By the early 1300s, it was the residence of Robert Bagenham, but the current hall, primarily built in the early 19th century, incorporates medieval and 17th-century elements.

Arranged over a basement and two storeys, Upton Hall is set within landscaped grounds and was designed by the architect W.J. Donthorne.

The estate also includes a car park and access to a former stable block offering approximately 5,000 sq ft of additional space.

Although currently unused, the stable block has the potential for conversion into a garage, workshops, fitness suite, small offices, or even a separate residence with its access off Hockerton Lane.

Victor Ktori, head of the commercial department at Savills Nottingham, said: “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful country house with a unique history on well landscaped grounds. It is the first time in over 50 years Upton Hall is offered to the market and so we expect it will attract a range of buyers from owner occupiers to investors looking at uses including residential, hotel, wellness and other leisure interests.”
