- Join Adam Lascelles, as we explore a truly unique opportunity to embrace refined country living within a stylish residence that seamlessly blends period allure with a wealth of character. Dating back to the mid-18th century, this impressive Grade II Listed country manor exudes elegance in the Palladian architectural style. Refurbished to showcase its original features, the property emanates a distinctive ambiance that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Enveloped by four acres of picturesque parkland, this magnificent seven-bedroom estate holds a captivating history, evident in its cellars that harken back to an earlier Elizabethan residence that once occupied the site. In 1836, the renowned architect George Basevi, a protégé of Sir John Soane and a prominent figure in the Regency era, made alterations to the house, further enhancing its grandeur.
The rich history of Longhills Hall unfolds like a captivating journey through time, boasting a diverse array of occupants spanning centuries. For over two centuries, the Curtois family proudly owned the estate, succeeded by the Abel Smiths, renowned bankers whose legacy still graces the façade of the NatWest Bank in Lincoln. During World War II, the hall served as lodging for the 1st Airborne Division, valiant participants in the Arnhem invasion. Today, two commemorative plaques near the entrance pay tribute to those brave soldiers of the 250 Company R.A.S.C.
Recently, during the spring and summer of 2023, Longhills Hall underwent a refurbishment and redecoration programme, reclaiming its status as an exceptionally elegant and sophisticated stately home. As you step inside, visitors are greeted by the awe-inspiring inner reception hall, boasting arched ceilings and half-columns, alongside a splendid, early 19th-century, cantilevered stone staircase with iron railings. The impressive hallway leads to three opulent reception rooms with soaring ceilings and ornate plasterwork, featuring intricate ceiling roses, cornices, door pediments, and exquisite 18th-century fireplaces. The rooms also boast functional shutters, adding to the overall grandeur.
The interior designer is under par for this magnificent building
The paint colors are fantastic
Lovely!!! Clean lines, calm classic colours, great combination of classic with contemporary. Easy comfortable space. Very tasteful, beautiful stylish house. I enjoyed this inspiring video.
lovely house with potential to be amazing
Carpet throughout, even in the bathrooms??? What is it hiding? Great potential but how incredibly insipid.
When you have enough money not to have to clean it, carpet is really quite nice 😊
Why in the world would they carpet this stunning, beautiful home? It's an injustice
How beautiful! Some of the colours on the walls are too muddy, though, and pull the potential beauty of the house down several rungs. Purer, more jewel-like colours would suit this gem of a house more, in my opinion.
Lovely house
I think there was lot of work there
But it is beautifull.
❤❤❤
To me this house has great upgrades and chandelier and real wood burning fireplace Ithink for a old mansion in the U K they did a great job onthe upgrade ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Beautiful but it does need some things. Clawfoot tubs and hardwood floors are a must and the Decour is lacking but that probably doesn’t come with a house so I guess it doesn’t matter.
Oh! Those lovely grounds! Who could leave them? My Border Collie and I would be permanently outside, but to sleep!
I WOULD SUE THE INTERIOR DECORATOR !
A stunning shell with a rotten interior. The obsession with green everywhere in every mis matched shade- EVEN IN THE DINING ROOM so all the food can look rotten. Hideous Wayfair-esque disaster.
Me too!
I find it refreshing and useful for today's living...e
I hope there are wood floors under all that carpet.
wow - tough crowd!
Grand house …horrible decor . It appears the owners ran out of money and could not furnish properly .
Furnish after you buy it
Amazing house . It would be more attractive without the horrible furnishings . Who does that to such a lovely house ?
Why did the owners not build or bought something new? Within the first minute that question comes into my mind.
Branston?..Lincolnshire?..
Whoever “refurbished and redecorated” this house did a horrible and low budget job. Plus, they didn’t do the whole house because the bathrooms are outdated. Now, with the right person, budget and time this house could be brought back to its former glory.
People are right, the decorator should be sued! Very bad and rip out most of the carpet. Sad to see.
It looks empty, trist, bore
Must have been magnificent once. Over-restored and blandly decorated. Sadly typical of so many houses.
just awful
Rugs has to go🤮
Z zewnątrz dom przepiękny. Ale w środku beznadziejny i pretensjonalny.
