Overton Hall is an imposing Grade II listed country house built c.1650, set in about 2.8 acres with commanding panoramic views across the Cheshire Plain. The property combines strong period character—exposed timbers, stonework, Minstrel’s Gallery—and generous living proportions across c.4,889 sq ft, arranged over three floors. Four double bedrooms all have en suites, making this an immediately usable, comfortable family home.
The accommodation has been upgraded with modern systems: double glazing, underfloor heating and a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system. Well-proportioned reception rooms, a hand-painted country kitchen with Aga, multiple reception spaces and outbuildings including a triple garage add practical daily convenience and scope for flexible living or home working.
There are material considerations a buyer must accept. Listed status means alterations will be restricted and will require listed-building consent; that may complicate extensions or major remodelling. The property’s EPC is E and heating is supplied by an oil boiler (private supply), which can mean higher running costs and future fuel management responsibilities. Broadband is reported slow, which may affect home working unless upgraded.
Overall this is a rare, large country residence for those seeking significant period character, space and views, with immediate livability and scope to personalise within the constraints of listed status. Additional land (approx. 5 acres) is available by separate negotiation, making the site attractive for equestrian use or further private amenity.
