Skendleby Hall is a magnificent Grade II listed residence originally dating back to the mid 1700s with a later Victorian wing and additions in the early 1900s, most notably being the Roman Catholic Chapel. The property therefore provides a most interesting mix of architectural types particularly with the Victorian additions, which were designed by the renowned architect of the time, S S Teulon. The plans were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1866. Much of Teulon's work was centred round London but many examples of his work can be found in Lincolnshire. He was renowned for his gothic style.

Throughout much of its history, the Hall was in the ownership of the Brackenbury family and it is only in recent times that the property has undergone a comprehensive and extensive programme of renovation and restoration. Skendleby Hall is now truly a stunning residence benefiting from such modern features as mains gas fired central heating and en-suite bathrooms to all the principal bedrooms, yet still retaining many fine character features including original Georgian and Victorian panelling, shutters to some of the many windows, and some fine original fireplaces and cornices, most notably in the Drawing Room with its painted cornices and superb carved fireplace, both incorporating Masonic emblems.
