A historic coach house and private courtyard in the heart of an estate near the Peak District, with 120 acres of communal grounds to enjoy
The Coach House at Swythamley Hall offers the chance to own part of an estate that is surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in the country.
The cobbles of the private courtyard that Grade II-listed The Coach House wraps around once resounded with horses hooves and rattling carriages; now, it’s blissfully peaceful. The beautiful property is currently on the market via Jackson-Stops for offers over £1.5 million.
Within 120-acre communal grounds of 19th-century Swythamley Hall — a meditation centre in a former life and now home to three other properties, which all benefit from undulating gardens, a helipad, woodland, water gardens, lake and tennis court — it has six bedroom suites, a wine cellar, a music room, a library, two kitchens and a sun room.
The pretty Peak District village of Rushton Spencer is about four miles north of Leek and seven miles south of Macclesfield.
