This expansive country house offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment within a historical context. Jaggards, a Grade II* Listed Jacobean residence with medieval influences, is set in tranquil surroundings, blending centuries of architectural styles. The property showcases striking Jacobean oak-paneled drawing rooms and intricate strapwork ceilings, presenting an appealing canvas for potential development while retaining its character.
Having been lovingly maintained and restored by the current owner over the last 25 years, this home has a storied past, previously belonging to the same family for over two centuries, descendants of notable historical figures. The ground floor features several reception areas alongside a spacious kitchen/breakfast room at its western end. A south-facing Neo-Gothic Bath stone conservatory at the back enhances the indoor-outdoor flow, making it ideal for seasonal gatherings.
Upstairs, the layout includes six well-proportioned bedrooms and a family room on the first floor, along with a secondary staircase that leads to two additional bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor, including an impressive principal suite.
At the rear of the property lies a sizeable Coach House that offers further potential; it incorporates separate living quarters above which could serve as additional accommodation or be transformed into something entirely new, subject to obtaining necessary permissions.
The grounds surrounding Jaggards are equally captivating. Featuring formal gardens accentuated by ancient yew hedges and manicured lawns, there are also interesting historic elements like a dovecote with approximately 1,000 nesting boxes and a Georgian outdoor privy adorned with decorative friezes. Winding paths meander through mature trees and an orchard within a walled garden decked with wisteria—each season brings new blooms enhancing this serene landscape.
Situated on the outskirts of Neston in a conservation area, Jaggards backs onto open fields and farmland with easy access to natural countryside offerings. The village supports an active community complete with local amenities such as schools, village halls, and pubs.

The M4 motorway (junction 17) is conveniently located about ten miles from the property.
