Walcot Hall, English country house in Southorpe, England.

The limestone building features two storeys, an attic, and nine bays with a rectangular floor plan spanning across 120 acres of wooded parkland.

Built in 1678 for Sir Hugh Cholmley, Walcot Hall served as an operations room for RAF Wittering during World War II and hosted the 67th Fighter Wing.

The estate includes two temples designed by William Henry Ansell and maintains Grade I listed status due to its architectural and historical value.

The current owners, Darby and Catherine Dennis, maintain the property as an agricultural estate spanning 1,400 acres of working farmland.

The hall features a Collyweston stone slate hipped roof and contains reception rooms that once displayed valuable French carvings removed during wartime occupation.
