Introducing Denver Hall 


Well-known locally, Denver Hall sits proudly within the picturesque village of Denver, Norfolk. Rich in history and character, the substantial Grade II* Listed period property is being offered through Auction House East Anglia with a guide price of £650,000 (plus fees), presenting a rare opportunity for restoration enthusiasts. 


Exploring the grounds


Spanning approximately 465 m² (4,998 sq.ft), Denver Hall boasts an array of spacious rooms across multiple floors. From the grandeur of the entrance hall to the sitting rooms and bedrooms, each space alludes to its storied history. 


The extensive wooded grounds feature various ponds and a 16th-century Grade II* listed gatehouse. Recent refurbishment works, partly funded by Historic England, have restored the gatehouse to its former glory, offering a glimpse into the property's illustrious past. 


Steeped in local history


Constructed circa 1490-1520, its rich history is steeped in tales of the Ryston Estate, once home to Sir George William Manby, a distinguished figure and close confidant of Lord Nelson. The stone coat of arms, framed by terracotta pilasters, is believed to represent the Willoughby family.


Denver, a charming village approximately one mile south of Downham Market, sits on the edge of the Fens. Home to iconic local landmarks such as the Denver Windmill, the village attracts plenty of tourists. Ideal for adventurers, the local area includes a variety of leisure clubs and access to both the Fen Rivers Way footpath and the National Cycle Route 11. 


Future possibilities


Time has not diminished the property's rich heritage, as it awaits a dedicated restoration effort to revive its grandeur. With a Certificate of Lawful Use or Development in hand, the potential for restoration and expansion is boundless. 


An indicative site plan from the vendor's architect offers a glimpse into the property's future potential, pending planning permission and Heritage England approval.


This incredible Grade II* Listed residence beckons to those who appreciate history and a passion for restoration. 

 



"This property presents a unique opportunity to create a spectacular living space amid historic surroundings," added Mark Upston, Area Manager. "Interested parties can contact me to book a viewing to explore this magnificent estate home."
