The Hall
Ayston Hall is a 19th-century Grade II listed two storey house constructed of ashlar with a stone tiled roof and a three bay frontage.[4] It stands in 2.4 acres (1 ha) of garden.
The house was built in 1807 by H.D. Legg for George Fludyer, MP and High Sheriff of Rutland for 1814, who had inherited the land from his widowed mother, the wife of Sir Samuel Fludyer, 1st Baronet. It became the seat of the Fludyer family and descended to the 5th and last baronet, Arthur John. On his death without an heir in 1922 the property passed to his nephew James Finch. In 2013 the house was on sale for £2.75m.[5]
