Property description
Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire present the opportunity to purchase a property with local historic interest in the heart of Northern Lincolnshire. Designed and built as an announcement of achievement by local Ironmaster Joseph Cliff in 1890. This outstanding Grade II Listed property has the potential to become a statement residence of imposing grandeur.
Set within approximately 4.75 acres of lawned grounds and latterly used as a local authorities children’s home, The Grove retains its impressive stone façade with distinctive Jacobethan roof dome and currently offers ten reception rooms and seventeen bedrooms.

The property is suited to a wide variety of uses, including the restoration back to a stunning family residence, boutique hotel and wedding venue or impressive company headquarters.
