Dancers Hill House, Grade II listed building in South Mimms, England.
Dancers Hill House is a Georgian mansion in South Mimms with traditional architectural features and later additions spread across its estate. The listed building sits along Dancers Lane near Mimmshall Brook with substantial grounds surrounding it.
The mansion was built between 1750 and 1760 for Charles Ross, a Westminster builder who held a long lease on the property. During World War II, the estate became part of Camp 33, housing Italian prisoners of war before the war ended.
The name reflects a moment from its past, and the house has been used for different purposes over time. Visitors can still sense these multiple roles in how the building and grounds are arranged today.
The house holds Grade II listed status, meaning any changes or repairs require special permissions to protect its historic features. Plan your visit remembering this is a private property with limited access to the grounds and building.
In 2018, the owners attempted an unconventional sale through a raffle that ran until early 2020. This unusual marketing approach drew attention to the property and sparked wider conversation about alternative property sales methods.
