A truly outstanding Grade II Listed building with a remarkable history. In 1758, Arthur Chichester, Marquess of Donegal, purchased Fisherwick Hall, an Elizabethan building which had been the home of the Skeffington family. He had the old hall demolished in 1766 and a new house was completed by 1774, surrounded by a Lancelot 'Capability' Brown landscape. Sadly, the rather infamous Marquis lost it all to pay gambling debts, selling the whole estate to R B Howard a few short decades later, who ploughed up the grounds and felled the hall and most of its remnants in 1818. The house that now stands on the site was originally the rather grand stable block and servants quarters and was bought by the Holgate family in 1988 and underwent a full renovation and transformation in to the truly exceptional family home we see today. Further generations of the family have since benefitted from ownership and have continued to update and maintain the house in a stylish manner with the main house now extending to nearly 5,500 square feet. The extensive and flexible family accommodation is laid out over two floors with a hugely impressive entrance hall and gallery landing connecting the spaces.
