Description
A historic country residence, Orford House has been masterfully restored to offer the perfect blend of heritage, luxury, and modern convenience. Dating back to 1840, this iconic home has been reimagined with no expense spared, creating an extraordinary retreat for discerning buyers who split their lives between global travel and the tranquillity of the English countryside.
The Perfect Location for International Living
Discreetly positioned in the prestigious Cheshire village of Croft, Orford House is less than 25 minutes from Manchester Airport, offering effortless connections to worldwide destinations. For London, direct rail services from Warrington whisk you into the capital in under two hours. The M6 and M62 motorways, just minutes away, open routes to Liverpool, Manchester, and beyond. For families, Cheshire is home to some of the UK's most respected private and boarding schools, including The King's School Chester, Moreton Hall, Ellesmere College, and Abbey Gate College - ensuring a world-class education within easy reach.
Historic Grandeur, Modern Comfort
Behind its stately façade, Orford House retains exquisite period detail - Minton tiled floors, a carved mahogany staircase, ornate cornicing, and original fireplaces - while offering every modern luxury. Underfloor heating and smart technology run throughout, while bespoke furnishings, Swarovski crystal fittings, and handcrafted drapes bring refinement to every room. A choice of elegant reception spaces includes the formal dining room with views over the waterfall pond and the vast orangery designed for entertaining on a grand scale. At the heart of the home lies a chef's kitchen with marble breakfast bars, a Rangemaster cooker, and Bosch appliances.
Private Quarters & Guest Living
The principal suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a king-sized bedroom with electronically operated Velux windows, a bespoke dressing room, and a spa-like ensuite. Three additional ensuite bedrooms ensure comfort for family and guests. A self-contained top-floor apartment offers independent living - ideal for staff, older children, or visiting friends - complete with lounge, kitchenette, and shower room.
Gardens & Grounds
Outside, the estate has been transformed into landscaped show gardens. Formal parterre planting, lavender borders, and York stone terraces frame the home beautifully, while a dramatic slate waterfall and lily-dotted pond create a sense of peace and grandeur. A kitchen garden, outdoor shower room, and space for a private swimming pool or wellness retreat provide scope for lifestyle living, while a triple garage, garden buildings, and further land offer future development opportunities.
Croft & Cheshire Lifestyle
While private and serene, Orford House remains firmly connected to village life. Croft itself is a gem of Cheshire, with The General Elliot offering a fine wine bar and contemporary restaurant, The Plough Inn serving fresh homemade food in a classic country pub setting, and The Horseshoe Inn presenting traditional British fare and fresh fish specials. The village is surrounded by green lanes, countryside walks, and cycle trails, with the Sankey Valley Greenway and Trans Pennine Trail nearby for weekend exploration. Further afield, Cheshire offers Arley Hall, RHS Bridgewater Gardens, boutique shopping, and Michelin-quality dining.
The Best of Both Worlds
Orford House is more than a home - it is a statement of lifestyle. A secure, private retreat in one of England's most prestigious counties, yet seamlessly connected to London and the world beyond. For the internationally minded buyer, it offers the rare chance to enjoy Cheshire's rich heritage, culture, and education while maintaining easy global mobility. Orford House, Croft - a timeless home, perfectly placed for a modern, international life.
