Bankhall Lane, Hale, Cheshire

A rare and exciting opportunity to create a landmark luxury residence of exceptional scale and quality, with planning permission granted (ref: 115145/HHA/24) for a substantial extension and redevelopment of the existing property — offering over 10,500 sq ft of accommodation including an optional basement leisure suite.

Set amongst the highly sought-after collection of addresses at the top of Bankhall Lane, just off Broadway, this elevated 0.74 acre plot sits well back from the road, offering privacy, space and outstanding scope in one of the area’s most exclusive residential addresses.

The existing residence is already a charming double-fronted detached home of over 6,000 sq ft, behind gates and surrounded by expansive gardens. Full of character, it features six bedrooms, bay windows, and a host of period-style architectural details, complemented by a detached garage block with a room above, ideal for a home office, annexe or studio.

Approved plans seek to enhance and expand the property to create an exquisite five bedroom family home of exceptional design and specification. The vision includes:

- A basement leisure suite (pool, gym, spa)
- Dramatic ground floor extension around a central landscaped courtyard
- Light-filled living spaces with seamless indoor-outdoor flow
- Beautifully proportioned bedrooms, all en suite
- Extensive gardens with multiple options for landscaping, outdoor entertaining and play
- A total internal area of circa 7,000 sq ft without leisure, or over 10,000 sq ft with leisure

This is a unique chance for a purchaser to bring their own vision to life — building upon the character and charm of the existing house while creating a bespoke luxury residence, without the need to build from scratch.
