THIS stunning Grade II listed country house in Comberbach is our property of the week.

Built in 1830, Cogshall Hall is an exemplary five bedroom property set within almost 60 acres of grounds and comes with an eye-watering guide price of £6,500,000.

Described as being a house of national importance, the hall comes with it's own swimming pool, as well as other leisure facilities such as a tennis court and snooker room as well as your very own wine cellar.

The Hall is constructed of Flemish bond brick, surmounted by a grey slate roof, with Derbyshire gritstone dressings and columned stone portico's to the front and side elevations.

This is a classical and quintessential country house, described in Peter de Figueiredo's 'Cheshire Country Houses' as a house of note.

Displaying the best of Georgian architecture, the hall is symmetrical in its proportions, with an exquisite suite of six graceful reception rooms of extraordinary quality, and exceptional ceiling height to both the ground and first floors. This, combined with the large casement sash windows, makes the house very light and airy.

The current owners have undertaken an extensive sympathetic scheme of renovation and restoration to bring the Hall back to its former glory, sensitively restoring the wonderful period features that adorn the interior, whilst seamlessly adding the latest 21st Century fittings such as surround sound and Lutron lighting. A no expense spared mantra is evident throughout.

The interior is breathtaking, with every room full of features such as stone columns, ornate friezes, intricately molded ceilings, ceiling roses and large open fireplaces with carved marble surrounds. These features blend flawlessly with the more modern additions of an oak-panelled library, oak floor, panelled snooker room, and bespoke bath/shower rooms lined with marble and delights such as copper sinks.

There is an exquisite hand-crafted kitchen with seating area and breakfast table overlooking the leisure suite. The largest modern addition is a contemporary stone and glass leisure suite, added by the current owner in 2006.

This leisure suite is cutting edge, with a large slate swimming pool with under water lighting/jets and Jacuzzi, set in a stunning relaxation area with stone floor and glazed elevations bringing the outside in. Part of the leisure suite is Moroccan in style, with tiled changing and shower rooms and a separate WC.

Cogshall Hall's gardens have been resurrected and have also been the subject of a sympathetic scheme of restoration. The manicured lawns wrap around the Hall, with a formal parterre awash with colour abutting the western elevation, with the gravel paths culminating into one path, with yew hedging on either side leading to the tennis court and stable yard, which have their own separate gated entrance and have been skillfully tucked away from view.

An impressive set of electric aluminium gates with CCTV open into a long formal gravel entrance drive lined with lime trees, sweeping through park/farmland and past the eastern elevation of the Hall, ending in a gravelled turning circle to the front, southern elevation. Formal lawns glide away from the front, ending in a ha-ha, which divides the lawns from the parkland. The parkland has a wooded screen as a backdrop, with good quality park/farmland wrapping around three sides of the Hall.

Despite its most magnificent setting, ring-fenced by its own extensive grounds and off a quiet rural lane, it is less than a 10 minute drive from the main arterial route of the M56 motorway, providing easy access to all parts of the North West and UK via the M6.
