Ogston Hall, Country house in Brackenfield, England.
Ogston Hall is a three-story country mansion in Derbyshire with a Palladian wing, Victorian additions, and a five-story castellated tower rising prominently above the structure. The house blends multiple architectural styles across its various sections and wings.
The property first appears in historical records dating to 1102 through a noble's will, then received its west wing constructed between 1545 and 1555. Victorian-era renovations in the 1800s substantially reshaped the building's character and appearance.
The dining room spans two stories and echoes the design of Oxford college halls with its grand proportions. An oak table from the 1800s sits within this double-height space, reflecting the home's refined traditions.
The building sits near Ogston Reservoir in Derbyshire and can be viewed from outside, though it remains a private residence not open to regular public visits. Its Grade II* listing status reflects its significant architectural importance in the region.
Part of the original grounds were flooded in 1957 when Ogston Reservoir was constructed, forever changing the property's surroundings and creating a new waterfront edge. This dramatic reshaping of the landscape became a defining feature of the site.
