Legh Old Hall is a meticulously restored Grade II‑listed 16th‑century country house set in just under an acre of landscaped grounds. The house combines period character — exposed beams, mullioned windows and open fireplaces — with contemporary comforts including zoned underfloor heating, a bespoke solid‑wood kitchen and double glazing installed since 2002. A substantial coach house (circa 1,500 sq ft) and a series of garden rooms extend the living possibilities for family, guests or rental use.
The main house provides generous, well‑proportioned accommodation across roughly 4,981 sq ft: four bedrooms (principal with dressing room and en suite), library, large open kitchen/living area and multiple reception rooms. Outside, storybook gardens contain an ornamental pond, ice house, greenhouse and the “Breeze House”, all accessed from a sweeping gravel drive with off‑street parking and countryside views.
This is an excellent home for an established family seeking historic charm with modern services, or for a buyer wanting an impressive country estate with a versatile coach house. The recent renovations are substantial, but the Grade II listing means alterations will be subject to consent and may limit major changes. Practical considerations include potentially high council tax and the age of original stone walls (likely limited insulation), so ongoing maintenance and energy management should be expected for a property of this era and scale.
Overall, Legh Old Hall offers rare period character and flexible outbuildings in a peaceful hamlet setting close to well‑rated schools. It rewards buyers who value historic detail, generous indoor/outdoor space and careful stewardship of a listed country house.
