Hickleton Hall, Georgian country house in Hickleton, England
Description
Hickleton Hall is a Georgian country house built from limestone with seven bays across its main facade. The structure has two symmetrical wings flanking the central section and is flanked by pavilions with graduated slate rooflines.
History
Architect James Paine designed and built this house between 1745 and 1748 for Godfrey Wentworth. It replaced an earlier residence from the 16th century that had stood on the same grounds.
Culture
The house functioned as a private home, then as a school for girls, and later as a care facility, with each era leaving its mark on how the building is experienced today. You can sense these different purposes when you move through the rooms and spaces.
Practical
The house is privately owned and viewable from outside, but interior access requires prior permission from the owners. Much of the building is currently undergoing repairs, so parts of the grounds and exteriors may be cordoned off or inaccessible.
Did you know?
The stables on the property are home to protected bat species, which adds complexity to any future renovation work. Builders and restorers must follow strict rules to protect these animals and their habitats whenever work takes place.
