Property of the week – Ufford Hall, Lincolnshire

This weeks property is for the more romantic of you. This 18th-century mansion near Peterborough is the former home of the fourth Baron Airedale and one time deputy speaker of the House of Lords. Despite his grand title, the current owner says that he was “living like a tramp” and you only have to take a look inside to see why this statement is probably correct. From the outside it’s beautiful and sound with a new roof, however the inside needs some serious TLC. Ufford Hall is currently on the market at an owner admitted optimistic £3.95m, this include 17 acres and outbuildings. For those of you with the money and the vision, Ufford Hall in our view could make one of the most spectacular family homes.
