Wadworth Hall, a Grade II Georgian country house, dating back to 1749, has returned to the market through local agent Robinson Hornsby after first being offered for sale last year.
The vendor describes the sprawling property as ‘truly extraordinary’ and added: ‘A piece of history could be yours.’
A spokesperson for Robinson Hornsby said: “We are incredibly proud to present Wadworth Hall — a magnificent Grade II listed Georgian country house, dating back to around 1749 and attributed to renowned architect James Paine.
“Set within almost four acres of private grounds, this remarkable residence offers an incredible 11,000+ sq ft of accommodation, with nine bedrooms and five reception rooms.”
It added: “Just five miles from Doncaster, Wadworth Hall is steeped in history and architectural beauty andshowcases exquisite Rococo and Palladian influences, with many of its original features beautifully preserved.
“But this is more than just an exceptional family residence.
“With commercial planning permission already in place, the property presents an exciting opportunity for a potential hospitality venture, subject to the necessary planning permissions — whether that be a wedding venue, boutique hotel, destination restaurant or something entirely unique.
“Set within stunning private grounds yet conveniently positioned for Doncaster, Leeds and Sheffield, this is an incredibly rare opportunity to own one of the area's most significant historic homes.
"A home, a business opportunity, a piece of history.”
The three-storey Hall has been attributed to the renowned architect James Paine of London, who was responsible for Nostell Priory and other notable 18th Century houses, and was probably built by Josias Wadsworth III for his son between 1745 and 1750.
A number of families have lived there over the years, including the Wordsworth family until 1825, and the Ross family in the 19th century.
A family tree shows a clear historic link to the famous English poet, William Wordsworth.
