Stunning mansion is the most expensive property in the North - but can't find a buyer after months on the market
A stunning Cheshire mansion is the most expensive property for sale in the North right now - and after months on the market, it still hasn't found a buyer.
In recent years it has hosted weddings, corporate events, awards ceremonies, photoshoots and is a popular filming location, with several Sherlock Holmes episodes having been filmed there.Currently listed for £26 million, the estate boasts 10 period mews houses, a hunting lodge, a garden house, nine other cottages, six farms, 208 acres of woodland and a walled garden, Cheshire Live reports.
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.
Mark Wiggin, Director of Mark Wiggin Estate Agents, spoke to CheshireLive when the extraordinary property first went on the market. He said: "There have been very expensive houses which have sold for lots of money, but this has obviously got more land, more houses. We don't think there has been anything of this size and stature for a considerable period of time.
