Description

This Grade II listed six-bedroom house is set in approximately 9.22 acres in Lower Stretton, with a two-bedroom cottage alongside the main residence. The main house is arranged over three floors and includes four reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen with pantry, utility room and ground-floor WC. Upstairs are six bedrooms, an en-suite, a family bathroom and a further shower room, with an office area on the first-floor landing. The wider property includes a detached two-storey barn, a triple garage and workshop, and an adjoining unit with a living and kitchen area, bedroom and shower room. The listing notes that the unit is not currently authorised for ancillary accommodation. The barn previously had consent for conversion into two dwellings, but that permission has lapsed. Any future use or development would be subject to the relevant consents, including considerations arising from the listed status. The grounds include private lawned gardens, a tennis court, pond, dog park, yard and two fields used for camping, with separate WC and shower facilities and 12 electric points. The campsite has a stated 10,000-litre water tank. The cottage is currently let and has its own garden and parking; a substantial shed is also let. The listing describes a semi-rural setting with access to the M56 and A49 and nearby amenities in Warrington, Appleton and Grappenhall.

76out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £1,250,000, Stretton House is exceptionally cheap against the local benchmark: about £131 per sq ft compared with £305. That gives a buyer a strikingly low entry point for a substantial Grade II Listed home, its adjoining let cottage and roughly 9.22 acres of grounds. The tennis court, camping fields, pond and range of outbuildings make this a particularly versatile property, with any future development or changes subject to the necessary consents.

The main house looks broadly usable, with period fireplaces, exposed beams and generous reception rooms, but dated finishes across several interiors leave room for a light cosmetic refresh. One photographed bedroom has damaged or unfinished wall and ceiling surfaces. The barn’s previous conversion consent has lapsed, so any future use would need to be checked; its condition also cannot be confirmed from the exterior views.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire a large Grade II Listed home at about £131 per sq ft, well below the local average.
  • Refresh the dated finishes while retaining the character of the fireplaces, exposed beams and period rooms.
  • Make use of the extensive grounds, tennis court, camping fields and varied outbuildings, subject to any required consents.
