The Hall itself, is a magnificent red brick Georgian mansion, and is Grade II* listed. It is situated at the end of a quarter mile long lime tree avenue and is surrounded by a Repton designed deer park. The 16 acre meadow between the drive and the river is owned by the majority of the residents of Broke Hall Park. The Hall was the ancestral home of the Broke family, having been granted by Henry VIII to Sir Richard Broke, who was at the time First Baron of the Exchequer. However, the most notable scion of the family was Admiral Philip Broke, who was honoured for saving the reputation of the Royal Navy by his famous victory, off Boston Harbour in 1813, when his ship, HMS Shannon, defeated and captured the frigate USS Chesapeake in the War of American Independence. Today the Hall is sub-divided into apartments and flats and within the grounds the former Orangery wing and estate buildings have been converted to a select number of residences. Broke Hall Park is administered by a resident s association with a modest annual charge for parkland and driveway maintenance. There is access to the foreshore, and to a riverside path, which leads to the neighbouring village of Levington.
