Bradbourne Hall, Grade II* listed country house in Bradbourne, England
Bradbourne Hall is a limestone and gritstone country house in the Derbyshire countryside with multiple gabled sections and slate roofing positioned near All Saint's Church. The building displays characteristic features of English estates with original turned baluster stairs and interior spaces that reflect different periods of occupation and use.
George Buxton acquired church lands following the dissolution of the monastery and built the hall around 1610 to replace an earlier rectory dating back to 1278. This construction marked a significant shift from ecclesiastical use to private residential ownership during the post-Reformation period.
The property demonstrates the architectural evolution of English country houses through its turned baluster stairs and modified interior spaces from the 17th century.
The property is privately owned and not open to the public for tours, though it remains a notable structure visible in the village setting. Visitors can observe the exterior architecture from public viewpoints and explore the surrounding area near All Saint's Church.
L.W. Hodson purchased the property in the 1920s and implemented substantial changes and additions in 1929 that reshaped much of the building. These modifications give the hall its current appearance and demonstrate how early 20th-century owners adapted traditional structures for modern living.
