BE PART OF LIVING HISTORY

We are reaching the final stages of completing one of our most historic developments to date

We are reaching the final stages of completing one of our most ambitious ever heritage development projects – the restoration of Storeton Hall, the oldest residential building on the Wirral.

It dates back to the 14th Century when all around were fields and was built as a grand estate house for the Stanley family with a great hall for entertaining.

Despite falling into disrepair over the years and the loss of the great hall itself it was listed by Historic England as an Scheduled Ancient Monument.

We began the painstaking restoration process two years ago, working closely with Historic England to preserve features like the original oak roof trusses and two tracery windows- originally carved way back in the 1300’s.

The remains of the Hall have now been reborn as two unique properties where the work of our master craftsmen allows the historic features to be celebrated and enjoyed within a sleek contemporary home.

In-house historic architect Bill Bayliss said: “The challenge is always how to create a liveable modern home while exposing and celebrating the majesty of the original features.

“At Storeton Hall I believe we have been able to do this in the best possible way. The work has not been rushed, we have re-used every possible stone and joist and employed skilled stonemasons to repair and replace the often intricate stonework.

“Everyone who has worked on Storeton Hall is hugely proud of the project, how a building, once on the At Risk register, now provides two incredible properties while still telling the story of the original house.”

The two properties each have their own character – Plot 29 which is due to complete shortly has already been reserved.

Plot 28 is available at £899,950It offers four bedrooms, including a master suite with dressing room, a bespoke dining kitchen with doors onto the private walled garden and a vaulted living room with a spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine floor which could be used as an office, music room or a bedroom.

The property also comes with a detached three car garage.

Group Sales Manager Gavin Pearce said: “Storeton Hall has been a labour of love and the quality and character of the properties is just stunning. There is nothing else like Storeton Hall anywhere in the North West.

“This is an opportunity for someone to be a part of living history and the finish and character has to be seen to be fully appreciated.”

Plot 28 is expected to be completed by Autumn 2022 and viewing is strictly by appointment only.
