Thwaite Hall, Historic university dormitory and Grade II garden in Cottingham, England
The two-story Thwaite Hall features an elongated fishpond fed by natural springs, surrounded by landscaped gardens spanning over 12 hectares.
Built in 1803 for German merchant John William Hentig, the property changed ownership through several Hull merchants before becoming part of Hull University in 1928.
The gardens incorporate a Botanic and Experimental Ground established in 1948, introducing diverse plant species and heritage rose collections to the estate.
The grounds extend from New Village Road on the east to the Hull-Scarborough railway line on the west, with Thwaite Street marking the southern boundary.
The property represents one of the few remaining 19th-century villa gardens within an urban setting, preserving its original landscaping elements and spring-fed pond.
