(Lot 1). A beautifully restored Mill House (Lot 2) is for sale by separate negotiation.\n\n\nHolford Hall is an exceptional Grade II* listed timber-framed country house, set within a rare moated island west of the village of Plumley in Cheshire. Built in 1601 for Mary Cholmondeley, the hall was originally part of a grand quadrangular residence, of which the central section now remains. Its striking black-and-white fa\u00e7ade features jettied upper floors, ornate gables, and classical pilasters, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period.\n\nThe surrounding moat and 17th-century sandstone bridge add to the hall\u2019s charm and historical significance, while archaeological remains hint at a once larger estate, including a chapel and north wing.\n\nFollowing a sensitive restoration, Holford Hall has been transformed into an elegant private estate with formal gardens and a beautifully converted event barn. Today, it offers a unique blend of heritage and contemporary living, making it not only a remarkable piece of Cheshire\u2019s architectural history but also a prestigious and versatile countryside residence.\n\n**Lot 1 - Holford Hall**\n\n**Ground floor**\nThe ground floor of Holford Hall is a showcase of its distinguished heritage, with grand reception rooms that embody centuries of architectural character. \n\nThe principal drawing room, with its exposed timber beams, stone-mullioned windows and majestic fireplace, creates an unforgettable setting for formal entertaining, while a second reception room, equally rich in original woodwork and period detailing, offers flexibility as a dining room or library. \n\nThese rooms, with their views across the landscaped grounds, are complemented by a more contemporary open-plan kitchen and family sitting area to the rear, blending modern practicality with timeless charm.\n\n**First floor**\nThe first floor is designed around a central landing that opens into a magnificent family room, a natural gathering place that extends onto a balcony overlooking the gardens. Three elegant bedrooms are arranged across this level, including two with en suites and one enhanced by a generous walk-in wardrobe. With a further family bathroom completing the floor, the sense of scale and refinement is matched by comfort and convenience, offering a home equally suited to family life and entertaining on a grand scale.\n\nThe second floor provides a more tranquil retreat, with two additional bedrooms, one en suite, and a private study ideally suited for working from home or quiet reflection. A spacious landing enhances the sense of light and openness, serving as an informal sitting area and underlining the versatility of the accommodation. Balancing heritage and lifestyle, this level offers the perfect sanctuary for guests, older children, or those seeking peace and privacy within the grandeur of the Hall.\n\n**Outbuildings, gardens and grounds**\nThe grounds of Holford Hall provide a truly distinguished setting, blending formal gardens with areas of natural beauty. Sweeping lawns, intricate topiary and carefully planted borders frame the house to striking effect, while woodland walks and mature trees create a sense of privacy and tranquillity throughout the estate.\n\nAlongside the landscaped gardens, the property offers excellent equestrian facilities, including a man\u00e8ge and well-planned stabling, making it perfectly suited to those with equestrian interests. These practical additions sit harmoniously within the wider grounds, adding versatility and lifestyle appeal to the estate.\n\nA further highlight is the beautifully restored traditional brick barn, currently used as a wedding and events venue. With its impressive timber beams and adaptable open-plan layout, it provides a unique and flexible space for celebrations, entertaining or personal leisure. Together, the gardens, equestrian amenities and event facilities make Holford Hall an estate of  character and opportunity.\n\n**Land**\nThe property is accessed down its own private tree lined drive which meanders through its grounds. The property has a good balance of useful grazing paddocks, amenity parcels of woodland, together with productive arable land.

historic Hall in approximately 121.66 acres. (Lot 1). A beautifully restored Mill House (Lot 2) is for sale by separate negotiation.\n\nHolford Hall is an exceptional Grade II* listed timber-framed country house, set within a rare moated island west of the village of Plumley in Cheshire. Built in 1601 for Mary Cholmondeley, the hall was originally part of a grand quadrangular residence, of which the central section now remains. Its striking black-and-white fa\u00e7ade features jettied upper floors, ornate gables, and classical pilasters, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period.\n\nThe surrounding moat and 17th-century sandstone bridge add to the hall\u2019s charm and historical significance, while archaeological remains hint at a once larger estate, including a chapel and north wing.\n\nFollowing a sensitive restoration, Holford Hall has been transformed into an elegant private estate with formal gardens and a beautifully converted event barn. Today, it offers a unique blend of heritage and contemporary living, making it not only a remarkable piece of Cheshire\u2019s architectural history but also a prestigious and versatile countryside residence.\n\n**Lot 1 - Holford Hall**\n\n**Ground floor**\n\nThe ground floor of Holford Hall is a showcase of its distinguished heritage, with grand reception rooms that embody centuries of architectural character. \n\nThe principal drawing room, with its exposed timber beams, stone-mullioned windows and majestic fireplace, creates an unforgettable setting for formal entertaining, while a second reception room, equally rich in original woodwork and period detailing, offers flexibility as a dining room or library. \n\nThese rooms, with their views across the landscaped grounds, are complemented by a more contemporary open-plan kitchen and family sitting area to the rear, blending modern practicality with timeless charm.\n\n**First floor**\n\nThe first floor is designed around a central landing that opens into a magnificent family room, a natural gathering place that extends onto a balcony overlooking the gardens.

With a further family bathroom completing the floor, the sense of scale and refinement is matched by comfort and convenience, offering a home equally suited to family life and entertaining on a grand scale.\n\nThe second floor provides a more tranquil retreat, with two additional bedrooms, one en suite, and a private study ideally suited for working from home or quiet reflection. A spacious landing enhances the sense of light and openness, serving as an informal sitting area and underlining the versatility of the accommodation. Balancing heritage and lifestyle, this level offers the perfect sanctuary for guests, older children, or those seeking peace and privacy within the grandeur of the Hall.\n\n**Outbuildings, gardens and grounds**\n\nThe grounds of Holford Hall provide a truly distinguished setting, blending formal gardens with areas of natural beauty. Sweeping lawns, intricate topiary and carefully planted borders frame the house to striking effect, while woodland walks and mature trees create a sense of privacy and tranquillity throughout the estate.\n\nAlongside the landscaped gardens, the property offers excellent equestrian facilities, including a man\u00e8ge and well-planned stabling, making it perfectly suited to those with equestrian interests. These practical additions sit harmoniously within the wider grounds, adding versatility and lifestyle appeal to the estate.\n\nA further highlight is the beautifully restored traditional brick barn, currently used as a wedding and events venue.

Hall is a magnificent country estate featuring a historic Hall in approximately 121.66 acres. (Lot 1). A beautifully restored Mill House (Lot 2) is for sale by separate negotiation.<br \/><br \/><br \/>Holford Hall is an exceptional Grade II* listed timber-framed country house, set within a rare moated island west of the village of Plumley in Cheshire. Built in 1601 for Mary Cholmondeley, the hall was originally part of a grand quadrangular residence, of which the central section now remains. Its striking black-and-white fa\u00e7ade features jettied upper floors, ornate gables, and classical pilasters, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period.<br \/><br \/>The surrounding moat and 17th-century sandstone bridge add to the hall\u2019s charm and historical significance, while archaeological remains hint at a once larger estate, including a chapel and north wing.<br \/><br \/>Following a sensitive restoration, Holford Hall has been transformed into an elegant private estate with formal gardens and a beautifully converted event barn. Today, it offers a unique blend of heritage and contemporary living, making it not only a remarkable piece of Cheshire\u2019s architectural history but also a prestigious and versatile countryside residence.<br \/><br \/><b>Lot 1 - Holford Hall<\/b><br \/><br \/><b>Ground floor<\/b><br \/>The ground floor of Holford Hall is a showcase of its distinguished heritage, with grand reception rooms that embody centuries of architectural character. <br \/><br \/>The principal drawing room, with its exposed timber beams, stone-mullioned windows and majestic fireplace, creates an unforgettable setting for formal entertaining, while a second reception room, equally rich in original woodwork and period detailing, offers flexibility as a dining room or library. <br \/><br \/>These rooms, with their views across the landscaped grounds, are complemented by a more contemporary open-plan kitchen and family sitting area to the rear, blending modern practicality with timeless charm.<br \/><br \/><b>First floor<\/b><br \/>The first floor is designed around a central landing that opens into a magnificent family room, a natural gathering place that extends onto a balcony overlooking the gardens. Three elegant bedrooms are arranged across this level, including two with en suites and one enhanced by a generous walk-in wardrobe. With a further family bathroom completing the floor, the sense of scale and refinement is matched by comfort and convenience, offering a home equally suited to family life and entertaining on a grand scale.<br \/><br \/>The second floor provides a more tranquil retreat, with two additional bedrooms, one en suite, and a private study ideally suited for working from home or quiet reflection. A spacious landing enhances the sense of light and openness, serving as an informal sitting area and underlining the versatility of the accommodation. Balancing heritage and lifestyle, this level offers the perfect sanctuary for guests, older children, or those seeking peace and privacy within the grandeur of the Hall.<br \/><br \/><b>Outbuildings, gardens and grounds<\/b><br \/>The grounds of Holford Hall provide a truly distinguished setting, blending formal gardens with areas of natural beauty. Sweeping lawns, intricate topiary and carefully planted borders frame the house to striking effect, while woodland walks and mature trees create a sense of privacy and tranquillity throughout the estate.<br \/><br \/>Alongside the landscaped gardens, the property offers excellent equestrian facilities, including a man\u00e8ge and well-planned stabling, making it perfectly suited to those with equestrian interests. These practical additions sit harmoniously within the wider grounds, adding versatility and lifestyle appeal to the estate.<br \/><br \/>A further highlight is the beautifully restored traditional brick barn, currently used as a wedding and events venue. With its impressive timber beams and adaptable open-plan layout, it provides a unique and flexible space for celebrations, entertaining or personal leisure. Together, the gardens, equestrian amenities and event facilities make Holford Hall an estate of  character and opportunity.<br \/><br \/><b>Land<\/b><br \/>The property is accessed down its own private tree lined drive which meanders through its grounds. The property has a good balance of useful grazing paddocks, amenity parcels of woodland, together with productive arable land.

Its position affords easy access to the region\u2019s main road networks, including the A556 and M6, making nearby cities such as Manchester and Chester readily accessible.<br \/><br \/>Knutsford itself offers a wealth of amenities, from boutique shops, caf\u00e9s, and fine dining to essential services, creating a vibrant yet charming local hub. The town is known for its excellent schooling options, including highly regarded primary and secondary schools, ensuring an ideal setting for families.
