Withington Hall

A new-build property, this elegant, two-storey, Georgian style, country mansion replaced a tired 1950s house, itself a replacement for the original fire damaged historic hall.

Designed for a private client, the home has a traditional Yorkshire Gritstone exterior and contains 14,500 sq ft of highly serviced accommodation, including a pool and leisure facility arranged around a central domed top-lit hall, complete with a grand curving staircase. The success of this essentially symmetrical building owes much to its carefully proportioned layout and facades, generated by a controlling section, giving ceiling heights at ground and first floors of 14 and 11 feet respectively.   

Planning permission was gained through negotiation and the house was commended in the Macclesfield Borough Council Design Awards.
