Welcome to Cressy Hall — a remarkable seven-bedroom, five-bathroom Georgian manor set in the heart of the Lincolnshire countryside, just twenty minutes from the charm of Stamford and Burghley House. This Grade II* listed estate is an ode to English heritage, framed by sweeping topiary gardens, ancient trees, and peaceful meadows alive with birdsong and the gentle footsteps of our free-roaming peacocks, baby goats, geese, and chicks.
The house, dating back to the 18th century, has been lovingly restored to preserve its historic character while offering all the comforts of modern living. Behind its elegant façade, you’ll find high ceilings, original fireplaces, and a spectacular mahogany staircase that sets the tone from the moment you step inside. The manor unfolds into a series of beautifully proportioned rooms — from serene drawing rooms and a stately dining room, to a handsome library and a full-sized billiards room for leisurely evenings by the fire.
Each of the seven bedrooms has its own personality and charm, with views across the gardens and soft, luxurious beds to sink into after a day spent exploring the countryside. The bathrooms blend period features with stylish fixtures, offering both practicality and a sense of quiet indulgence.
The kitchen, once the heart of a working estate, now offers everything a cook could need — arched stone ovens, generous surfaces, and subtle industrial touches — all bathed in light. Adjacent, an art studio with a soaring glazed ceiling and mezzanine offers space for creativity, work, or simple reflection.
Beyond the house, the grounds extend across nine acres of gardens, woods, and wild lawns. You can enjoy breakfast in the walled garden, play table tennis beneath the topiary trees, or take a long walk through the private woods. It is a place to reconnect with nature, with yourself, and with those you love. Animals are not just allowed — they are warmly welcomed. Dogs are free to roam the grounds (respectfully, of course), and guests are encouraged to meet and feed the animals with care.
The surrounding area is dotted with lovely farm shops, cosy pubs, and outstanding restaurants — from the Michelin-starred Hambleton Hall to village favourites like The Griffin in Irnham and the Toby Norris in Stamford. Days out might include visits to Belvoir Castle, Grimsthorpe, or the bird sanctuaries of Frampton Marsh. For a touch of pampering, The Grange Spa and Avoca beauty salon are nearby.
Cressy Hall is more than a house — it’s an atmosphere. A place where time slows, the fire crackles, the garden gates swing open, and memories are quietly made. Whether you’re visiting for a celebration, a retreat, or a change of air, this extraordinary estate invites you to settle in and stay a while.
