A Brief History in words:Built around 1850 the property was originally part of the Puddington Hall Estate, forming the Large Stables and Coach House. The Property was remodelled and extended in the 1980’s by the then owner Sir Peter Morrison, M.P. Private Secretary to Margaret Thatcher, who was a guest at the property on a number of occasions for the famous Garden Parties held in the formal gardens.

The current owners, have totally remodelled the property in the last 5 years, working with the noted Chester Heritage Architects ‘Donald Insall Associates’ and the Historic Chester Conservation Planning Department.

The works have included the installation of some 52 Solid Oak window frames with over 1000 individually leaded cames in metal casement windows.

The addition of the Oak framed covered Dining Area with an open fire to the rear elevation, overlooking the South facing gardens has added a truly unique feature for all year round ‘al fresco’ dining

The centre piece of the remodelling is the large forty five feet long entrance hall with a double height vaulted ceiling, and galleried open area from the landing above. The Stone floor throughout the hall has full underfloor heating giving a warmth to the whole property.

In 2007 the adjoining paddock was acquired. This provides a separate driveway to the paddock and a large hard standing area suitable for several vehicles.

in 2009 the coach house was extended, retaining garaging for 3 cars and a large workshop facility. This would also lend itself to separate accommodation subject to planning permission.
