Finedon Hall, Finedon

Charles Orlebar presents - A simply stunning and elegant home in this glorious country manor, Finedon Hall. With fully maintained and manicured grounds, this is luxury living that you can lock up and leave while travelling overseas or spending some time in London. A fabulous setting for a retirement home or a weekend place for those tired of city life. With a total of approx 1700sqft this is could be the ideal forever home! The combination of high ceilings, large windows and generously proportioned living space and bedrooms make this a wonderful home for entertaining. Finedon Hall, which is said to date back to Elizabethan times, was passed down the lines of two families for the majority of its history. The first family was the Mulso’s who occupied the land from the 1400s and built the property sometime between 1550 and 1600. It then passed to the Dolben family, who through marriage became the Mackworth Dolbens, and they kept possession until the 1900s when the last female descendant Ellen died. In its current Tudor-Gothic style, this country manor house dates to the 1850s. With no heirs, the estate was sold off in parcels with the house passing through a number of owners before being bought by developers in 1971 and finally during the 1990s the house (and estate buildings) were converted into apartments. In 1936 use of the hall was given to the Free French and it was used as a rehabilitation facility for allied troops. General Charles de Gaulle even visited the facility, which was being run by Col. Pierre Mallinger, who bought the hall following the war and used it as a base to conduct research into tropical diseases. Road links and train links are excellent – train stations at Wellingborough, Bedford , Kettering and Peterborough are all within driving distance. Road links with the A45, A14, M1/M6 and A1 are all easily accessible.
