Bostock Hall is a magnificent Grade II listed Mansion House set in the heart of rural Cheshire within approximately 14 acres of Conservation parkland, gardens and an ornamental lake. Once the home of the Francis Hayhurst family the hall then fell into disrepair having been used over the decades for a variety of uses. Since 1998 the hall and estate buildings have been carefully converted and refurbished by Messers pj Livesey Rural Heritage to an exceptional standard and now the hall forms the centre piece of this stunning development.
The penthouse apartment commands beautiful open views not only over the private parkland setting but surrounding countryside. The impressive reception hall retains their beautiful Minton tiled floors, stain glass windows and Fresco walls and ceilings and there is a splendid staircase reaching the very top floor which is also accessed by a lift. Internally the apartment has been more recently refurbished to an exceptionally high standard and an inspection is the only way to appreciate. Features worthy of note are the hand built framed kitchen with integrated appliances, the oval master bedroom suite and en-suite shower room.
