A stunning estate in Cheshire that has heaps of history is on the property market for what is understood to be the first time. Since the early 14th century, the Adlington Hall estate in Macclesfield has been home to generations of the Legh family but after 700 years it is now up for sale with an eye-watering £30 million price tag.
The entire estate is made up of Adlington Hall, six equipped farms, twenty-one residential properties, an events space, a village hall, and a total of 1,922 acres. It is being offered for sale by joint agents Savills and Mark Wiggin Estate Agency with a guide price between £10,000,000 to £30,000,000 as it's also available to buy in up to 25 lots.
Adlington Hall can be traced back to Saxon times when the house was owned by Norman Earls for seven generations until 1221, when it passed to the Crown. Henry III then passed the manor onto Hugh de Corona and, after the marriage of one of his granddaughters to John de Legh of Booth, Adlington Hall became the ancestral home of the Legh family.
