Baggrave Hall

This is the kind of house you dream of staying in! Baggrave Hall is an 18th-century, Grade II listed country house in Hungarton, Leicestershire. This structure was constructed during the 1750s, with a slate hipped roof and chimney stacks. On further exploration, an additional wing in red brick was found to have been made in 1776. With a large expanse of grass covering the grounds of the house, this site belonged to the Leicester Abbey before the Dissolution of Monasteries. Sadly, the fabric of this building was majorly damaged in 1988-90, whilst the house belonged to an overseas company controlled by Asil Nadir. Along with stonework and wall damage, floors and ceilings were also ruined. Thus, while restoration work has been promised by the current owner, the closest one can get to viewing the house is from the public footpath that runs outside the premises.
