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. • Grade II* listed hall • 17th-century architecture • In all approximately 14,213 sq ft • Exceptional renovation • Original architecture features • High specification materials and finishes • Principal bedroom with en suite and his & hers dressing rooms • 3 further bedroom suites, all en suite with dressing rooms • New slimline double-glazed windows throughout • Leisure suite with indoor pool, spa, steam room and gym • Bespoke onyx and mirror wine storage wall, temperature-controlled • AMX home automation system and Lutron lighting • Audio-visual system • CCTV zoned alarm system and security lights • Electrically operated gates • Schindler 8-person lift • 2 cottages, both 2-bed with en suites • Steel-framed agricultural barn • Outbuildings, including an estate office, garden store and pottery studio • Covered parking for 4 cars • Approx. 5 acres of landscaped gardens, orchard, and pond • Tennis court • Approx. 56.29 acres of parkland, paddocks, woodland, and lakes • Furniture available by separate negotiation Council Tax Band H Freehold. ## Property Photos - ![Picture 1](/listings/photos/153218855/742) - Picture 1 - ![Picture 2](/listings/photos/153218855/743) - Picture 2 - ![Picture 3](/listings/photos/153218855/744) - Picture 3 - ![Picture 4](/listings/photos/153218855/745) - Picture 4 - ![Picture 5](/listings/photos/153218855/746) - Picture 5 - ![Picture 6](/listings/photos/153218855/747) - Picture 6 - ![Picture 7](/listings/photos/153218855/748) - Picture 7 - ![Picture 8](/listings/photos/153218855/749) - Picture 8 - ![Picture 9](/listings/photos/153218855/750) - Picture 9 - ![Picture 10](/listings/photos/153218855/751) - Picture 10 - ![Picture 11](/listings/photos/153218855/752) - Picture 11 - ![Picture 12](/listings/photos/153218855/753) - Picture 12 - ![Picture 13](/listings/photos/153218855/754) - Picture 13 - ![Picture 14](/listings/photos/153218855/755) - Picture 14 - ![Picture 15](/listings/photos/153218855/756) - Picture 15 - ![Picture 16](/listings/photos/153218855/757) - Picture 16 - ![Picture 17](/listings/photos/153218855/758) - Picture 17 - ![Picture 18](/listings/photos/153218855/759) - Picture 18 - ![Picture 19](/listings/photos/153218855/760) - Picture 19 - ![Picture 20](/listings/photos/153218855/761) - Picture 20 - ![Picture 21](/listings/photos/153218855/762) - Picture 21 - ![Picture 22](/listings/photos/153218855/763) - Picture 22 - ![Picture 23](/listings/photos/153218855/764) - Picture 23 - ![Picture 24](/listings/photos/153218855/765) - Picture 24 - ![Picture 25](/listings/photos/153218855/766) - Picture 25 - ![Picture 26](/listings/photos/153218855/767) - Picture 26 - ![Picture 27](/listings/photos/153218855/768) - Picture 27 - ![Picture 28](/listings/photos/153218855/769) - Picture 28 - ![Picture 29](/listings/photos/153218855/770) - Picture 29 - ![Picture 30](/listings/photos/153218855/771) - Picture 30 - ![Picture 31](/listings/photos/153218855/772) - Picture 31 - ![Picture 32](/listings/photos/153218855/773) - Picture 32 - ![Picture 33](/listings/photos/153218855/774) - Picture 33 - ![Picture 34](/listings/photos/153218855/775) - Picture 34 - ![Picture 35](/listings/photos/153218855/776) - Picture 35 - ![Picture 36](/listings/photos/153218855/777) - Picture 36 - ![Picture 37](/listings/photos/153218855/778) - Picture 37 - ![Picture 38](/listings/photos/153218855/779) - Picture 38 - ![Picture 39](/listings/photos/153218855/780) - Picture 39 - ![Picture 40](/listings/photos/153218855/781) - Picture 40 - ![Picture 41](/listings/photos/153218855/782) - Picture 41 - ![Picture 42](/listings/photos/153218855/783) - Picture 42 - ![Picture 43](/listings/photos/153218855/784) - Picture 43 - ![Picture 44](/listings/photos/153218855/785) - Picture 44 ## Floorplans - ![Ground Floor](/listings/photos/153218855/786) - Ground Floor - ![First Floor](/listings/photos/153218855/787) - First Floor - ![Second Floor](/listings/photos/153218855/788) - Second Floor - ![Basement](/listings/photos/153218855/789) - Basement - ![Cottages - Ground](/listings/photos/153218855/790) - Cottages - Ground - ![Cottages - First](/listings/photos/153218855/791) - Cottages - First - ![Estate Buildings](/listings/photos/153218855/792) - Estate Buildings - ![Equipment Shed](/listings/photos/153218855/793) - Equipment Shed ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC - Farm Cottage](/listings/photos/153218855/794) - EPC - Farm Cottage - ![EPC - Guest Cottage](/listings/photos/153218855/795) - EPC - Guest Cottage ## Sold Comparables *Same street and nearby sales within 0.25 miles.
