Moore Hall is set in mature, private grounds bordering the scenic Bridgewater Canal, located on a peaceful lane leading into the village of Moore. Country homes of this caliber seldom retain their original grounds, but this exceptional property does. A magnificent Grade II* listed hall, it is thought to have origins in the mid-17th century, although much of its design reflects the 18th century, featuring beautifully proportioned, elegant rooms typical of that period. The house is situated on extensive grounds, with walled gardens at the rear.
Covering approximately 6,000 sq. ft., this impressive residence spans four floors plus cellars, showcasing exquisite woodwork throughout. Intricate pediments, architraves, elaborate oak parquet floors, and a remarkable staircase highlight the property’s distinct charm. The principal rooms feature dual aspects, shuttered windows, paneled ceilings, and ornate fireplaces. The spacious kitchen is equipped with a double Aga, and the bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated. Additional garaging and storage are accessible via the carriage driveway, which also serves two cottages. A boathouse located within the walled garden offers access to a private mooring area on the Bridgewater Canal, perfect for storing boating gear off-season. The gardens are designed for easy maintenance and are filled with mature trees and shrubs, creating a private yet not isolated retreat.
The enclosed porch features stunning stone arches and columns, with a wide front door framed by leaded glass panels and a fanlight, opening into a hall with wainscot paneling and intricate oak parquet flooring. Pedimented doorways lead to the two main reception rooms. On the right, the light-filled drawing room boasts triple aspect views, an Adam fireplace, and tall shuttered windows. To the left is the formal dining room, accessible from the kitchen, with a dual aspect and a panelled ceiling.
The most striking element of the inner hall is the beautifully carved arch, spandrels, and the impressive staircase with its sweeping rail and detailed balusters. The sitting room to the right offers views over the walled gardens and features a notable fireplace flanked by built-in cupboards. On the left is the kitchen, divided into three distinct areas with fitted cupboards, a Belfast sink, and granite surfaces, opening into the breakfast room with its double Aga. Beyond the breakfast room is a cozy snug with dual aspect and double doors leading to a rear hallway. A further hall includes a cloakroom with WC, and the cellar, accessible from the main staircase, contains two main rooms with stone wine bins.
On the first floor, the main landing is adorned with ovolo-moulded panelling and carved details. The half-landing leads to a utility room and cloakroom. There are four principal bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities, and a fifth, smaller bedroom, currently used as a seasonal wardrobe but ideal as a nursery. The second floor contains four additional bedrooms, one en-suite, and a house bathroom. The third floor offers two further rooms with exposed beams, perfect as a teenager’s retreat or additional bedrooms.
The village of Moore offers a quaint lifestyle with its local store, post office, and The Red Lion pub, while the nearby town of Stockton Heath, just 3 miles away, provides an array of shops, restaurants, and bars. Excellent transport links include the M56 motorway and a direct rail service from Runcorn to London Euston, making travel convenient. For boating enthusiasts, private moorings on the Bridgewater Canal are available, though subject to mooring charges.
The property includes a garden stretch along the canal, walled rear gardens, and a carriage driveway leading to a lawn at the front. Excellent private schools, including The Grange at Hartford and Cransley School in Great Budworth, are within easy reach.
Outbuildings include a double garage and workshop to the side of the property, as well as a boathouse/store along the canal. The estate has recently been divided, with two additional dwellings: Heron Cottage, currently for sale, and The Orangery, which has been sold.
