Broke Hall, Grade II* listed country house in Nacton, England

The neo-classical mansion sits atop a hill overlooking the River Orwell, featuring a grand 300-year-old lime tree avenue leading to its entrance.

James Wyatt constructed the current structure in 1792 for Philip Bowes Broke, replacing an earlier residence built by Richard Norris in 1775.

The gardens showcase the landscaping work of Humphry Repton from 1794, demonstrating the evolution of English garden design in the late 18th century.

The building has been converted into residential flats and maisonettes since 1988, offering modern living spaces within historical architecture.

The property includes earthwork remains near the house, including banks and ditches that suggest complex water management systems from earlier centuries.
