Wistow Hall, Grade II* listed English country house in Wistow, Leicestershire.

The main hall features colourwashed rendered brick walls, a hipped Swithland slate roof, and multiple sash windows with dormers throughout the structure.

King Charles I sought refuge at Wistow Hall before the Battle of Naseby, leaving behind royal saddles that remain preserved within the estate collection.

The entrance hall exhibits an 18th-century stucco work ceiling and Tudor stone doorway, displaying architectural elements from different periods of English design.

The property transformed from a single country house into separate residential units, including Brown's Flat, Dairy Cottage, Laundry Cottage, and Forge Cottage.

Corner turret buttresses were added during the 1815 renovation, creating a distinctive architectural profile that sets this hall apart from other period houses.
