Brereton Hall, near the village of Holmes Chapel, is currently a private home and sits in 100 acres of mature gardens and pastureland.

Brereton Hall is a four-storey building with 12 bedrooms, a kitchen, a reception hall, a games room, a drawing room, a dining room and offices.

Plans would see the conversion of Brereton Hall into a 12-bedroom hotel.

The conversion would also include the building of a bridge over the River Croco, constructed with a traditional finish of brick and stone to  match the construction of  Brereton Hall.

Brereton Hall was built in the late sixteenth century and had seen many uses over the centuries including housing a girls’ boarding school in the past.

A planning decision is expected from Cheshire East Council by the end of January 2018.
