TICKHILL HOUSE
Tickhill House is a grand home which was once part of a large estate. Secluded behind a long limestone wall, its traditional features combine to create echoes to its important past.This is a property of some considerable standing, which has been a hive of social activity over its extensive, esteemed history, with society dinner parties and events at which its residents would entertain the great and the good of the town. Centuries ago visitors would arrive by horse and carriage outside the house and turning circle; then, as now, they would be greeted at the entrance to the impressive hallway, which is graced by a spectacular window and walnut staircase that winds its way up to the first floor.The rooms flow effortlessly from one to the other enhancing further the social aspects of the property. A reception can easily be held in the spacious dining room for up to 50 people. This room is ideal for musical soirees, where in the past guests have been entertained with a buffet, wine from the cellar and evenings spent gathered around the piano. After a big feast, such as Christmas dinner, the family here would collapse into the large sofas in front of the roaring fire, while others escape from the hustle and bustle into the lounge to sit in quiet contemplation.The house was the destination for a fabulous annual Boxing Day party, and in the warmer weather, garden parties and barbecues on the lawn throughout the summer. Family members would often be found in the seating area of the bespoke kitchen, tucking into a hearty meal prepared on the range, or relaxing in the conservatory, which was converted from an old potting shed. Like the house, Tickhill town is a desirable place to live in - a town, yes, but with the heart and soul of a village. There's the scarecrow festival in the summer, Christmas Eve carols on the Buttercross (the site of the old buttermarket), annual gala and duck races on the pond at the picturesque Lindrick area of the town. Here there is everything one could want, with butchers, bakers, beauty salon, florists, wine bars, restaurants, and an independent supermarket; not to mention an outstanding school Tickhill Estfeld, as well as great walks and a ruined castle on the outskirts of the town, just to add to the magic.
