Bretby Hall, English country house in Bretby, Derbyshire, GB
The Grade II* listed Bretby Hall stands as a substantial country house with architectural elements designed by Sir Jeffry Wyatville in the early 19th century.
The original Bretby Hall, constructed in 1630 after Thomas Stanhope acquired the manor, served as the ancestral residence for the Earls of Chesterfield.
The second Earl of Chesterfield created gardens at Bretby Hall that matched the scale and grandeur of those found at the Palace of Versailles.
Following its transformation from a former hospital, Bretby Hall now contains residential apartments within its preserved historical structure in Derbyshire.
The estate includes a Grade II listed park where the sixth Earl established recreational facilities, including a cricket pitch and game bird breeding areas.
