Description
Wyfold Court Mansion is a Grade II* listed building constructed between 1872 and 1873 for a renowned cotton magnate and Member of Parliament for Preston. The mansion, reputed to be one of the grandest houses in England, reflects the French Flamboyant Gothic style. In the late 1990s, it was meticulously converted into eleven properties by the PJ Livesey Group under the guidance of English Heritage, retaining many original features.
Inside, the property spans 3,468 square feet across three floors, forming a significant wing of the Mansion with its own private entrance and views over the estate's long driveway. The ground floor includes a grand reception room with ceilings up to 5 meters high, tall mullion windows overlooking the front courtyard and main entrance tower, and a striking white marble fireplace. Adjacent to this is a separate dining/family room that also features a white marble fireplace and mullion windows with views of the driveway, providing a cozy yet elegant space for dining and relaxation. The kitchen is a spectacular Griggs and Mackay showpiece, equipped with quartz worktops, custom timber cabinets, and top-of-the-line Miele appliances, including combination steam ovens, a large electric oven, a 6-ring induction hob, and more. The kitchen's limestone flagstone floor, with underfloor heating in most areas, is in keeping with the period character of the building. A mezzanine floor, accessed by a separate stairwell, offers versatile space and is currently utilized as a fully furnished large home office.
The first floor features a luxurious main bedroom suite with a view of the front tower, an ensuite bathroom with a separate bath and shower, a walk-in wardrobe, and access to a utility room with a washing machine, dryer, and drying cupboard. On the second floor, there are two double bedrooms, both offering views of the tower, with one showcasing a period fireplace with additional bedroom. Additionally, there is a fully fitted home office ideal for work or study, and a separate bathroom with two sinks, a bath, and a separate shower.
The property also includes the exclusive use of a private garden, covering about 0.5 acres with Rhododendron borders and timber decking, adds to the appeal of this home. Parking is well catered for, with an allocated underground parking space, a separate single garage, and ample parking outside the front door. Residents of the property also enjoy access to 178 acres of private parkland and two tennis courts.
Overall, this property within Wyfold Court offers an exceptional living experience, combining the elegance of a historic estate with the comforts of a modern luxury home.
