Holford Hall Estate, a stunning historic hall and country estate in the village of Plumley near Knutsford in Cheshire, dating back to the early 1600s and set within 125 acres of grounds is now on the market for £6.5 million. The property includes a moated Grade II* listed hall, detached mill house, formal gardens, outbuildings, superb equestrian facilities and land.
Originally built in 1601 for aristocrat Mary Cholmondeley, the estate has recently been a popular wedding venue thanks to its beautiful setting. Holford Hall, the principal residence, features a striking black and white façade with jettied upper floors, ornate gables and classical pilasters, showing a high level of craftsmanship.
The surrounding moat and archaeological remains of a former chapel highlights the historic nature of the property, but the main building has been sensitively restored, ensuring its history is respected while including modern amenities.
The extensive grounds feature beautiful formal gardens, equestrian facilities including stabling and a manege, a converted brick barn which was used as the wedding venue, and acres of natural landscapes.
A second dwelling, The Mill House, has also been restored in a modern style and features five bedrooms, making it perfect for family or guests.
Partner and Head of National Country agency Team (NCAT), Matthew Allen, highlighted the enormous potential of the property. He said: “Holford Hall Estate’s incredible beauty, generous grounds and its mix of outbuildings give buyers many different options.
“It would be perfect for an ambitious equestrian business, another wedding provider, or hotelier, to name just a few. “Alternatively, the estate would make an exceptional private family home for the right buyer.
“It is rare that a property of this stature comes onto the market in Cheshire, and we are excited to see who might come forward to purchase it.”
The entire estate can be bought as a whole, or Holford Hall and The Mill House can be purchased in two separate lots.
