DESCRIPTION Wicksted Hall is an exceptional Arts & Crafts country house occupying a private and elevated position within the rolling countryside of South Cheshire.

Built during the final years of the Edwardian era, the house displays many of the characteristics associated with the movement, including stone mullioned windows, decorative brickwork, green oak detailing and finely crafted architectural features. Extending to approximately 13,734 sq ft, the accommodation offers impressive scale and flexibility, with elegant reception rooms, substantial bedroom accommodation and a significant leisure wing. Approached through private gates and sweeping driveways, the Hall enjoys complete privacy within approximately 10.4 acres of established gardens, paddocks and grounds. Features include a Victorian walled kitchen garden, original glasshouses, mature trees, secondary estate access and a collection of historic outbuildings, all contributing to the atmosphere of a traditional English country house.
