Wicksted Hall is a distinguished Arts & Crafts country estate offering over 13,700 sq ft of principal accommodation set within about 16.6 acres of private gardens, paddocks and woodland. The house retains original oak panelling, tall mullioned windows, high ceilings and a grand galleried hall, creating an impressive family home or prestigious base for an equestrian or hospitality project. The principal suite, bespoke Clive Christian kitchen, orangery and triple‑height leisure suite are genuine standouts for comfortable family living and entertaining.
The estate includes a refurbished two‑bed Gate Lodge, two cottages (together providing six further bedrooms), extensive garaging, outbuildings and paddocks, lending flexibility for staff, multi‑generational use or income generation. Grounds feature a Victorian walled kitchen garden, glasshouses, folly, pump house and a helipad. Sweeping drives and gated entrances provide seclusion, with panoramic views across Cheshire and Shropshire.
Notable practical considerations are the property’s EPC ratings (main house E; ancillary buildings E–C), oil‑fired heating, and solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation — all factors that will affect running costs and may require upgrading. The estate is listed in the highest council tax band for the main house, and the scale of accommodation and outbuildings will require ongoing maintenance and estate management. Planning or commercial conversion potential exists but would be subject to permissions.
This is a rare country estate for a buyer seeking architectural distinction, privacy and equestrian or commercial potential. It will best suit purchasers prepared for stewardship of a large historic property and the practical commitments that accompany significant grounds, multiple buildings and heritage fabric.
