With its fairy tale towers and turrets, imposing arched windows, curvaceous oriels, and incredible lake views, turn fantasy Cheshire living into non-fiction reality, at No. 5, Oakmere Hall.
Fairy tale setting
Grade-II listed, Oakmere Hall, designed in the style of French Baronial architecture by renowned Cheshire architect John Douglas, father of Chesters iconic Eastgate Clock, was built in 1867 as a private home for Runcorn soap manufacturers John and Thomas Johnson, initially occupied by the Higson family and latterly used in 1943 as a Miners Rehabilitation Hospital prior to its transformation into eight elite apartments in the late 20th Century.
Nestled within fourteen acres of landscaped formal gardens, arrive via a sweeping driveway, where parking for two cars is designated to No. 5, Oakmere Hall, in addition to a double garage.
Grandeur upon arrival
Making your way to the imposing main entrance, step inside, into the comfort and embrace of the communal entrance hall, a vast lobby with the grandeur of a mansion house drawing room. Light streams in through the magnificent stone mullion windows on the staircase turn.
Ascend to the first floor, to arrive at the entrance to No. 5, a luxurious three-bedroom home set over the first and second floors of Oakmere Hall and savouring incredible views out over the grounds and lake.
Feast your eyes
Inside, this modern, open plan home embraces you instantly, emerging immediately into the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen-diner, where a sociable central island is furnished with inset sink. Underfloor heating warms the solid wood floor, lending a contemporary comfort, reinforced by the stylish appliances which include an oven, hob, retractable extractor, fridge, freezer, wine fridge, dishwasher, and microwave.
Opening up from the kitchen, yet cleverly zoned by the exposed Cheshire brick chimney breast housing the woodburning stove, the dining-living room offers room to relax and entertain, culminating in a cosy turret, from where you can savour the incredible 200 degree views out over the lake and gardens.
Savour the views
On the first floor there is also a great sized master bedroom, with ample space for a double bed and additional furniture, alongside a shower room ensuite, with walk-in shower, mood lighting a demisting mirror above two wash hand basins and underfloor heating. Re fitted recently, the ensuite is both luxurious and contemporary.
From the kitchen, take the stunning, contemporary floating glass staircase up to the second-floor landing, to discover what could be a spacious master suite.
Wake up to an influx of morning sunlight through the windows, in this stylish and sleek sanctuary. Also nestled on this level, bedroom three can serve as a dressing room or office, transforming this upper level into a secluded master suite, replete with a private bathroom, fitted in 2023 and furnished with walk-in shower, mood lighting demisting mirror above a single wash hand basin, feature bath and underfloor heating. The boiler room houses a new boiler and washer-dryer and provides storage.
Garden and grounds
With access to the communal gym and social rooms, leisure time is par for the course at No. 5, Oakmere Hall, where 14 acres of glorious grounds, woodland walks and gardens await exploration. Take a picnic and sit beside the shores of the lake, in total peace and tranquillity, admiring the wildlife and visiting birds. In the woods, discover a treasure trove of beehives which are managed by bee farmers.
Residents also have use of an allocated storage space, in the Victorian brick arched cellars, should they wish.
Out and about
With so much nature within the grounds of Oakmere Hall, there is more to explore on the doorstep, only minutes drive from the tracks and trails of Delamere Forest, with the Whitegate Way also on your doorstep.
A well situated and secure base for those travelling internationally (Oakmere Hall is served by 24-hour CCTV, remote heating control and intercom system), the airports of Liverpool and Manchester are a respective 40- and 25-minutes drive away, with great road links to the M56, M53 and M6 for access to the north and south.
For rail links, Cuddington and Delamere Stations offer Chester to Manchester connections, whilst the station at Hartford can link you to London and Liverpool.
With great links to the surrounding Cheshire villages, dine out at Define, in Sandiway and perfect your swing at the nearby golf clubs of Delamere, Sandiway, Frodsham and Helsby. The Hollies Farm Shop is also on your doorstep, with Waitrose also within walking distance. Peruse the shops and experience the culture of the nearby historic city of Chester.
For luxury living in enchanting surrounds, No. 5, Oakmere Hall is a secure, spacious and show stopping home with the grandeur of country estate living, combined with the comforts of a contemporary home, with easy access into the nearby towns and cities for commuters and international travellers.
