THE PROPERTY
Dingley Hall is an exceptional country house with golden limestone and ironstone walls, listed Grade I and sitting on a high ridge overlooking the Welland Valley. A house has stood on the site from medieval times and was extensively rebuilt during the reign of Mary Tudor.
The Hall, which has an illustrious history, has been owned by a number of prominent aristocrats, royal advisors, attorney generals and admirals, boasting entertainment of royalty and senior political figures, remaining as a private family home until 1936. During the following decades, the Hall was used as a wartime Nursing Home and then eventually purchased in 1978 by renowned architect Kit Martin, who divided it into seven houses and three apartments.
