About this property

Built in 1820 as an Orangery to Woodfold Hall for renowned cotton magnate and industrialist Henry Sudell, this remarkable home occupies a private, gated plot extending to over two acres within one of the region’s most prestigious country estates.

Few homes offer such architectural distinction. Designed by James Wyatt, the property is defined by its elegant stone elevations, soaring ceilings, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, all enhanced with electric blinds. At its heart lies a beautifully executed curved design, creating a seamless sense of flow and an abundance of natural light that moves effortlessly through the space, lending both grandeur and warmth in equal measure.
