3 INTRODUCTION Spurstow Hall is an outstanding Grade II Listed country house occupying a stunning position in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. The entire property has been carefully restored to exacting standards of construction and to an exceptional specification. The principal house sits prominently within beautifully maintained grounds and adjacent to a newly built Coach House, ideal for staff or relatives. The excellent range of traditional and more modern buildings are integral to the property. They include stabling, offices, a workshop, garaging and storage and provide an opportunity for a range of potential uses. All the outbuildings have been rebuilt or renovated and there are beautiful landscaped gardens which overlook the lake and the undulating parkland beyond. LOCATION Spurstow Hall lies in beautiful rolling South Cheshire countryside with lovely views across the surrounding landscape. It is about four miles from the popular village of Tarporley and one mile from Bunbury, which offer an excellent range of day to day services. Spurstow is within daily commuting distance of Chester, Liverpool and Manchester. It is only 14 miles from Crewe and a regular rail service to London Euston (approximately 1½ hours). Tarporley is a highly sought-after village. It has an attractive High Street with a wide range of independent shops and restaurants. In 2008 it was ranked third in Britain’s Top Ten Perfect Villages. Bunbury is a picturesque English country village,with a fine church (St Boniface) and buildings in a mixture of architectural styles. There are a good range of local shops, pubs and amenities. Bunbury Aldersey CE is an outstanding (Ofsted 2011) primary school situated in the heart of the village. There are excellent private schools in the region including King’s and Queen’s schools in Chester, Shrewsbury School, Ellesmere College, Moreton Hall and Packwood Haugh Preparatory School. The City of Chester (15 miles) is one of the north west’s leading retail and commercial centres serving a catchment area extending from Manchester to Shrewsbury and covering the whole of North Wales. 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. On the second floor are three further bedrooms a bathroom and a store room. The entire site is data cabled and includes a modern telephone exchange as well as the Main Hall benefitting from full wireless coverage. Additionally, the Hall includes extensive Bang & Olufsen audio visual distribution, fire control system (integrated across the site) and security systems. The Hall’s heating is controlled by a full BMS using hot water radiators with under floor heating to the leisure suite and bathrooms etc. Emphasis has been placed on ease of use and serviceability throughout.

15 16 17 GARDENS AND Grounds The gardens and grounds have also been the focus of substantial investment. They provide a delightful setting for the house and a perfect link with the surrounding landscape. The focal point is a substantial lake, with incoming stream and outgoing weir, which frames a large part of the garden. The gardens have been designed to incorporate formal planting and flowing herbaceous borders. Wooded sections meet open lawns leading to a hard landscaped apron to the Hall. The tennis court is sheltered by a brick wall and a high hedge. The Land The land adjoins the garden and offers fine views over a parkland landscape. It is mainly in grass with small belts of woodland adjoining the road and is ideally connected for equestrian purposes. A further 300 acres of grass and arable land is available by separate negotiation.
