Manor House and Rookery Park Stud stands in a wonderful position in the heart of rolling Cheshire countryside with beautiful views over its own paddocks and parkland.

The house enjoys excellent countryside views from all windows and occupies an extremely private position within its plot and is not overlooked.

The first floor provides four excellent bedroom suites, each with its own dressing room and ensuite bathroom. There is potential to create a fifth double bedroom suite. In addition, a superb Clive Christian-designed billiard room and bar provide exceptional entertaining space.

The house is set in the most attractive well-maintained gardens and grounds from which there are far reaching views of over the surrounding countryside. They are primarily laid to lawn, incorporating specimen trees and plants and bounded by mature hedging.
