CLIFTON Hall is a Grade I listed building with nine acres of grounds.

Mention is made of a Clifton Hall in the Doomsday Book of 1086 but most of the hall, the former home of the Clifton family, dates from the 17th Century.

Charles I stayed there briefly in 1632 as a guest of the 1st Baronet of Clifton, Sir Gervase Clifton.

Architect John Carr known for his work on Harewood House, Colwick Hall and Newark and Chesterfield Town Halls spent two years extending and modifying the hall until 1780.

The mansion was used as a girls' school from 1958 to 1976, when it passed to Nottingham Trent University.

It was restored to a residential property in 2006 by Chek Whyte's company, Whytehall Homes.
