This exquisite Cheshire country house is a place where old world grandeur, meets 21st Century luxury, with a high-end specification to rival the very best modern homes.

Ground Floor

Through the wide stone porch, behind the original lovingly refurbished grand double doors, lies a wondrously detailed entrance hall leading to the grand living room, which is a more formal space to entertain. Echoing the Hall's elegant past with beautifully renovated decorative plaster cornicing, plus the original, meticulously restored bay window, which provides spectacular views out over the rear lawn, then onto the rolling parkland of the Estate and the Cheshire Plain beyond.

The magnificent 60m2 kitchen/breakfast room creates an awe-inspiring ambiance. Each element has been carefully curated, combining the finest materials, innovative technologies and bespoke design features.

This stunning kitchen is flooded with natural light, through huge windows and glazed double doors. It comes fully equipped with the latest state-of-the-art appliances, chosen to create a true culinary haven for serious chefs and passionate home cooks alike.

The sleek handleless cabinetry with striking horizontal and vertical line work, embodies a cool and contemporary style. Inserted into this classic setting, it creates a timeless aesthetic. Stunning polished quartz worktops, and large format floor tiles maintain the theme, ensuring practicality as well as beauty. There's an abundance of workspace for food preparation and presentation, and the huge kitchen island incorporating the latest induction hob, stylishly practical under mounted sink, and instant boiling water designer tap, offers limitless functionality while serving as a gathering point for family and friends, making it the perfect social hub.

Lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing the ambiance of this luxury kitchen, with high definition LED fixtures, illuminating the space and showcasing the exquisite finishes and period features.

No high-end kitchen is complete without a complimentary dining area, and this one is no exception. Adjacent to the large island, the spacious dining area can easily accommodate the grandest of dining tables, providing the perfect setting for memorable meals and engaging conversation. The utility room is accessed via the boot room, which is a practical and organised space, ideal for use as a preparation and serving station for formal catered events, due to its close proximity to the dining room.

Next to the kitchen, the more relaxed and informal family room is positioned to the front of the property, and provides a stylish and calming space. The Hall's stately dining room is a truly traditional entertaining space, authentic to the period of the house.

Nestling beneath the large window, sitting on its own raised platform to maximise the countryside views, is a stunning free-standing bath with floor-mounted designer taps. Soaking in its luxurious depths, the view allows nature to become an integral part of the cleansing ritual and relaxation process.

Opposite the show stopping bathing area, sits the magnificent bespoke double basin vanity unit, over 3m in length and perfectly framed by the huge backlit mirror above.

The remainder of the Hall's magnificently appointed first floor, is taken up by four further large double bedrooms.
