Spurstow also has good access to the motorway network providing a link to other north west and midlands conurbations and to Liverpool and Manchester airports. The leisure opportunities are also excellent. Portal Golf Club and Carden Park Hotel and Spa both have championship golf courses and a range of other facilities. There are also numerous walks in the area and polo at the Cheshire Polo Ground. 4 5 SPURSTOW HALL A house was first built on the site in the 17th Century. It was a timber framed building modelled on Churches Mansion in Nantwich, which is one of the oldest buildings in Cheshire. This burnt down in 1757 and was replaced with a brick structure which was the start of the current main Spurstow Hall building. The most recent renovation of Spurstow Hall was completed in 2006 and was planned and executed without compromise. The Hall was stripped back to bare brick work and many of the outbuildings rebuilt. The Hall is Grade II listed and great care was taken to retain its character and historical integrity, while providing high quality, contemporary fixtures and fittings. The well balanced accommodation is both spacious and versatile with a large reception hall with a restored fireplace and oak floors which continue through to the dining room. The living room is fitted with oak panelling, book cases and a Stanton Moor stone fireplace while the family room is ideally positioned between the Martin Moore fitted kitchen and the swimming pool hall. There is also a cellar, boot room, plant room and integral garage. There is direct access from the family room to the outstanding leisure suite. This includes a wonderful indoor pool, a galleried gymnasium and changing rooms. On the first floor a vaulted galleried landing provides access to the bedroom accommodation. This includes a master suite with dressing room and bathroom and three further bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Beyond the bedrooms, and served via a second staircase, are two offices, with bespoke fitted office furniture, and a plant room housing the air conditioning unit for the swimming pool.
