I was bored & remembered hearing the sorry news about this place back in late 2016 & kept meaning to check it out.

Cosgrove Hall was built C1800 & was the home of the Longuevilles. It had apparently been "much altered & improved" by the present owners & housed portraits of Mary Anne Biggins wife of General Mansel amongst other antiquities.
It was built entirely from local limestone & was grade 2 listed.
It sounded a splendid place & plenty more history here.
Cosgrove Hall

The tragic news in 2016 was that the hall was gutted by fire!
6 crews attended the blaze, but as you can see there was very little that survived, I should think this is beyond saving.
The lawns remain cut & the landscaped hedges etc are only just showing signs of neglect. There is a tennis courts, pool & an old ice house in the grounds which make this a bit more interesting

Not great pics Im afraid I was in & out quick & the house itself was fenced off so only took pics through this as I had no intention of going in as the place is only just hanging together by the skin of its teeth!
There is gate houses & other properties that are still occupied & the large expansive lawns meant it is quite an exposed explore.
Anyway don't think its appeared before so thought it may be of some interest.

What a mess the house is in now but looking at your other pictures it used to have a tennis court and a swimming pool so it must have been a nice place to live in at one time.
