Description
RURAL REINVENTION: a beautifully conceived Grade II*-listed home, exquisite not only for its Georgian architecture but for its contemporary leisure suite and five acres of glorious gardens, two cottages and further 56 plus acres of surrounding land.
Positioned in what is arguably one of Over Alderley's best locations, Whirley Hall is set in a prized circa 56.29-acre plot of pastoral charm. Dating back to the 1670s, this four-storey former residence of the Birtles and Hibbert families features countless original features. Brickwork, windows, fine plasterwork are meticulously restored. This is complemented by the striking interiors, where the inviting layout and luxurious material specification is a lesson in modern elegance. The result is a relaxed, comfortable home where the quality of light and space is absolute.
On the ground floor, a series of high-ceilinged reception rooms each serve a different purpose: a place for dining and sitting, a library for reading, a cinema room for watching films. The floors are laid with oak parquet, countertops in Arabescato Corchia marble define the kitchen and in the dining room, seagrass-lined walls add to the feeling of warmth. On the first and second floors are four bedrooms; the principal suite appointed with bespoke cabinetry in lacquered macassar ebony, and the bathrooms are Armani Brown & Botticino marble. It is the glass-walled contemporary leisure suite that really thrills, where the floor-to-ceiling glass harmonises with the period architecture and reflects the ever-green surrounds.
