6 bed detached house for sale

Wollerton Old Hall, Wollerton, Market Drayton, Shropshire TF9

Wollerton Old Hall is a beautifully presented country house believed to date back to the mid 1500's. The house has been wonderfully cared for by the current owners who have been custodians of the property since 1983 and have run an established award-winning garden business from it since the mid-eighties.

The property has been sympathetically extended by the current owners, and provides well-balanced accommodation over the ground and first floor. Many of the rooms have beautiful views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.

An impressive central entrance hallway connects all the ground floor rooms, which include a delightful drawing room (forming part of the extension undertaken in 2002), sitting room, panelled dining room and kitchen breakfast room. Each of the three reception rooms have open fires and stunning preserved period features adding to the wonderful character of the house which is shown off throughout. From the kitchen is access to the cellars which are divided into three rooms.

Six bedrooms occupy the first floor, most notable being the principal suite which is found within the extended part of the house, to the south. This room has a large bathroom and walk in wardrobe. The five remaining bedrooms, all beautifully individual in their style, are served by two bathrooms and a W/C.

The house extends to nearly 400 square meters in total.

Gardens, Grounds and outbuildings
The gardens are simply breathtaking and a tribute to the current owners careful planning and design. In their construction, there was a focus around combining elements of modernity, whilst still adhering to an 'English garden' ethos. The framework of the garden is divided into geometric shapes, with cohesion between one another, providing an excellent flow and feeling of connection.

As you would expect from a successful, award-winning garden, the grounds are planted with a vast array of plants, trees and hedges, providing continual all year-round interest and colour. The garden is laid out into 13 different individual spaces, with mature planted tunnelled and boxed walkways, beautifully stocked beds and boarders, climbing roses, areas of woodland, upper and lower rills, shade gardens, and extensive hot garden, and Lime Allee, and a main perennial border. Information on planting and plant collections within the garden can be provided upon request.

In all, the grounds around the hall extend to approximately 3 acres.

Most recent achievement's include the annual Judges Choice garden award at the hha agm in November 2025 and also entry in Monty Don's latest publication British Gardens to be published Spring 2026 following his successful TV Series.

The house and gardens are complimented by over 300 square meters of additional buildings as shown within the floorplans. In their current format, these include an operating tearoom (proud to support several local suppliers), with 40 covers, a commercial kitchen, and a range of offices within the detached former cottages adjacent to the hall. These offices/former cottages could serve several alternative uses (subject to planning and consents), if required.

Across the road to the West of the hall is a paddock of approximately 1.44 acres in size, available for purchase by separate negotiation. This area of land is currently used as a car park for the garden business.
