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]
