SITUATION & SUMMARYBragborough Hall is situated in the parish of

Braunston, a beautiful part of the countryside

on the Northamptonshire/Warwickshire border

between the historical villages of Braunston

(1 mile), Welton (2 miles) and Ashby St Ledgers

(3 miles). Daventry is 4 miles to the south, the

market town of Rugby is 9 miles to the north

west and Northampton is 16 miles to the south

east.

The Hall itself is approached via a long tree-

lined avenue, past mature parkland and sits in

an elevated position overlooking some

beautiful undulating countryside, surrounded

by its own land.

Bragborough Hall has many of the elements

which form the perfect traditional English

landed estate. The Hall is complemented by

estate cottages, outbuildings, productive

farmland and offers some wonderful sporting

opportunities, within a private setting.

Bragborough Hall is a Grade II Listed Regency

country house in need of remodelling and

refurbishment. The Hall is currently arranged

to provide a number of prominent and

well-proportioned reception rooms with a

wealth of period features and a range of

ancillary kitchen and service areas to the

rear. There are extensive cellars, whilst on the

first floor there are 5 principal bedrooms and 7

further rooms on the second floor.

Within the curtilage of the Hall there is a

traditional Stable Courtyard which currently

provides a range of outbuildings including

garages, general store rooms and workshops,

kennels, 6 stables and a tack room. Parts of the

Courtyard have been converted into 3 self-

contained flats, The Stable Flat, The Lion

House and The Rookery, providing ancillary

accommodation to the main Hall. In addition

there is a detached bungalow and there are

two further detached lodges.

The Estate extends to approximately 641 acres

in total, comprising in-hand parkland,

farmland and woodland. The woodland and

game crops are currently laid out to provide a

good family shoot although this could be

further enhanced to maximise the undulating

nature of the land.

COMMUNICATIONSBy Road: Junction 18 on the M1 is about 6

miles to the north east providing direct access

to the national motorway network.

By Rail: Direct Virgin Train services run from

Rugby (9 miles) to London Euston taking from

HISTORY &ARCHITECTUREAccording to a transcription of Kelly’s 1890

Trade Directory for Braunston, Bragborough Hall

was the seat of Captain George William

Hutton Riddle and is described as being “a

modern building in the Italian Style, standing on

an eminence a mile from the village and

commanding extensive and picturesque views… “.

Bragborough Hall is considered to be the finest

residence in the parish and has a wonderful

history, contributing significantly towards the

country’s war efforts in the past. Between

1939 and 1945 during the Second World War,

the Hall was used as an evacuation maternity

hospital from London’s St Barts Hospital and

Hackney Mother’s Hospital in East London

when both suffered bomb damage.

The area is surrounded by history and the

village of Braunston is renowned for its

historical role as a hub of the national

transport system during the late 18th and

early 19th centuries, being on the junction of

the Oxford Canal and Grand Union Canal.

Nearby, the Manor House in Ashby St Ledgers

is famous for purporting to be the location

for the planning of the Gunpowder Plot in

1605.

Bragborough Hall is Grade II Listed and is of

traditional stone construction with a rendered

finish under a hipped slate roof. According to

Pevsner, N (1973) The Buildings of England,

Northants (2nd Ed.), the Hall dates from the

early 19th century with later additions,

although the architect is unknown. There are

plans dated 1841 held at the Northants

Records Office signed by the builder William

Thomson.

Pevsner describes the Hall as having “three wide

bays with tripartite windows, a porch of two pillars

and two unfluted Greek Doric columns which lead

into the Entrance Hall”.

SHOOTINGThe sporting rights are currently in hand and

there is a well established family shoot on the

Estate. The shoot is predominantly a pheasant

shoot although partridges were also included

until relatively recently. The shoot utilises the

wooded spinneys with the addition of some

well placed game crops, to create 13 fantastic

pheasant drives.

These drives are predominantly focused within

Lots 1 and 2 but there is the potential to

expand the shoot by incorporating some

smaller out-lying drives. There are a number of

release pens situated across the woodland in

addition to some flight ponds, Bragborough

Hole being the largest.

Please refer to the shoot plan at the rear of the

brochure for further information.

FARMINGThe arable land has been farmed for many

years under a Contract Farm Agreement with

a local farming business. It comprises

approximately 507 acres (205 ha) of land on a

varying rotation including wheat, oil seed rape,

and barley with the remaining land used as

shoot and conservation areas. Results have

improved continually during the agreement

with yields achieved up to 10.4 tonnes per ha

of wheat and 4.4 tonnes per ha of oilseed

rape. The current Contract Farm Agreement

ends on the 30th of September 2011.

The grassland which amounts to about 90

acres (36 ha) is being farmed by way of grass

keep agreements, all of which end by 31st

January 2012.

The land as classified by DEFRA is

predominantly Grade 3 and with reference to

the Soil Maps of England and Wales, the land

is defined as being mostly Wickham Series,

being slow permeable, fine silty and fine loamy

over clayey soils which is suitable for winter

cereals and grassland.

towards the Bragborough Hall Farm buildings

Page 6

whilst the primary drive continues to bear left

with magnificent views opening up across the

mature parkland in front of the Hall. A further

further dwellings to the rear of the Hall.

The drive arrives at the front of the Hall into a

large gravelled turning circle flanked in part by

flower borders, lawn and traditional parkland

fencing.

The symmetrical triple-bay front elevation is

most impressive with a moulded stucco

parapet and grand portico adorned with an

Eagle framing the entrance into the Hall. The

The accommodation is laid out over ground,

first and second floors with additional

extensive cellars. The formal reception rooms

on the ground floor all have wonderful

a calibre usually found in a much larger house.

The principal bedrooms on the first floor

are spacious and well laid out. The layout of

the accommodation on the second floor could

be improved to offer a number of further

bedroom suites.

Bragborough Hall is a stunning country house

and boasts a plethora of striking period

GARDENS & GROUNDSBragborough Hall is surrounded by lawns

leading right up to the traditional parkland

fencing with far-reaching views south and west

over the Estate. The gardens are extensive but

have been enjoyed in the past as informal

lawns and flower beds. An opportunity exists,

if an incoming purchaser so wished, to re-

design the gardens and create a number of

formal and informal garden areas around the

Hall.

Within the gardens, there is a stone

Ornamental Pond with Box hedge shrubbery

and nearby is a beautiful Grade II Listed 18th

century circular Italian marble Well Head with

arcaded frieze. The sides have been carved

with crosses, fleurs de lys and two coats of

arms. There is a wrought iron arch above with

scroll ornament.

Surrounding the main lawns are a range of

mature trees including Beech, Horse Chestnut

and Pine. Hidden away from the Hall is a

secluded timber clad Summer House with a

slate roof whilst beyond, there is an outdoor

Swimming Pool enclosed by traditional dry

stone walling with a pool house.

To the rear of the Outbuildings is a large

Walled Garden with some productive fruit

trees and the remains of the foundations of an

old greenhouse. A hard Tennis Court has

been built within the Walled Garden and there

are a number of gates through to adjoining

paddocks.

Page 15

OUTBUILDINGSThe pretty Stable Courtyard is accessed from

a spur off the main drive and lies to the east of

the Hall itself. The Courtyard comprises three

ancillary flats and the majority of the

outbuildings near the Hall, which are

under a slate or tile roof and surround a central

raised flower bed. Several buildings require

some refurbishment.

Forming one side of the Stable Courtyard is a

long block containing 6 Stables, a Tack Room,

Feed Room and Garages with room for three

cars. Attached to the gable end of the Stables

is a Lean-to for general storage purposes.

While there are other small areas of grass, the

remainder of the land enjoys excellent access

and is used for arable cropping although there

are many mature trees within field boundaries

and dedicated woodland which contribute to

the superb rural setting.

The natural topography of the landscape,

combined with established woodland and

enhanced by strategic cover crops, form the

basis for an excellent family shoot.

In total Lot 1 has 315.86 acres (127.83

hectares) of farmland and 20.16 acres (8.16

hectares) of woodland.

Lot 2 forms a useful block of predominantly

arable land to the south of the Bragborough

Hall drive entrance. The land has good road

frontage providing convenient access and is

divided into individual fields by mature

hedgerows and tree lines, which together with

its natural undulation contribute to the Estate

shoot. There is a small area of woodland

known as Swinnel Wood, plus a very attractive

wildlife pond that has been created to enhance

the general amenity of the land as well as the

shooting.

The land straddles both the Grand Union Canal

and in part, the Braunston Tunnel, as well as a

disused railway line towards the south.

Comprising four regular shaped arable fields to

the north west of Bragborough Hall, Lot 3 lies

immediately adjacent to Lot 1, with additional

independent access via Green Lane from

to other lots. In the event of a sale in lots, cross rights and

reservations may be imposed and granted for the provision of

access, maintenance and services.

House and The Bungalow have mains electricity, water from a

private estate supply and private drainage. The New Lodge,

The Old Lodge and Bragborough Hall Farm buildings have

exception of The Stable Flat.

Private Water Supply

Bragborough Hall and the surrounding residential properties

(The Lion House, The Rookery, The Stable Flat and The

Hall Farm buildings, the two Lodges and most of the parkland

are fed via a mains water supply.

There are two septic tanks which serve the property. One

serves both Lodges, whilst the other serves the Hall and

surrounding properties. Both discharge into soakaways.

A detailed plan showing the location of all known water supplies

and foul drainage will be included in the Information Pack.

Easements, Wayleaves and Rights of Way

The property will be sold subject to and with the benefit of all

rights of way either public or private, all easements and other

in respect of a private water supply which emanates from Lot

1 to Bragborough Lodge Farm to the north.

There is an oil pipe line which runs through the north and east

of Lots 4 and 5, which continues through the south west of Lot

1 before leaving the Estate boundary to the north east of

Lot 2. Further details of the pipeline can be obtained from the

Information Pack.

A number of areas of woodland on the Estate have also been

The purchaser(s) will be required to take on the existing ELS

and EWGS grant schemes and indemnify the Vendors against

future claims.

Single Payment Scheme entitlements are included within the

sale. The 2011 claim will be retained by the Vendor and the

Vendor agrees to use reasonable endeavours to transfer the

entitlements for future Single Farm Payments to the purchaser(s).
