Description
Early 19th century country house with surrounding grounds, now truncated by 20th century hospital and housing development.
The undeveloped parkland to St. Catherine’s is considered to be of interest and is the land immediately around the former hall including the entrance drive and its front lawns/gardens. There are embattled garden walls around the former hall that are also by John Clark and are Grade II listed in their own right.
There are well planted screening along the frontage on to Tickhill Road. Whilst the original lodge building no longer exists and the approach has been resited with modern gates and piers these are still considered to be of interest and are included within the proposed designation. To the rear of the hall are walled kitchen gardens that help understand the original garden layout and practices. As well as the avenues lining the approach and other formal tree planting within the immediate vicinity of the hall, there are important trees beyond and whilst not inside the proposed park and garden area are important to the wider setting and as part of the original parkland and are therefore of some significance.
