Dancers Hill House

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 7 min

Dancers Hill House is a Grade II listed house in Dancers Hill, Hertfordshire, England. The current house dates from c. 1750–1760, with later additions, and was probably built for Charles Ross, a Westminster builder, who leased 10 acres from David Hechstetter Jr. for 80 years in 1750.[1][2] The grotto north-east of the house is also Grade II listed.[3]

The house has been used as a school, and during the Second World War it was part of Camp 33, which housed Italian prisoners of war.[4]

The house was used as a filming location for a number of episodes of the children's comedy series Chucklevision.[5]

In 2018, the owners, Nigel and Melanie Walsh, who bought the house in 1992, offered it for sale by raffle,[6] with a winner being drawn in January 2020.[7]
