Hillside
Heath Lane, Allostock, Cheshire
Independent reading
An extended Arts & Crafts country house with five bedroom suites, indoor pool and gym, two staff annexes, hard tennis court and landscaped grounds of about 5.78 acres.
The £3.295m guide equates to about £400 per attributed 8,236 sq ft, or about £489 on the 6,736 sq ft lower figure in current distribution. This is an evidence range, not a valuation. Signed component measurement, title and rights, approvals, drainage, pool plant, condition and actual running records decide the offer.

The 30-second view
Three things worth knowing.
Whether title and access rights, signed component area, approvals, private drainage, pool plant and actual operating records support the apparent £400–£489 per sq ft range.
The 8,236 sq ft headline appears to blend differently useful principal, leisure, annexe and ancillary space. The current lower 6,736 sq ft figure materially changes apparent density and must remain visible.

Stuart Rushton & Co's exact original instruction was rechecked on 2 November 2026: explicitly Available at £3.295m, seven marketed bedrooms including the two staff annexes, four receptions, over 8,000 sq ft and about six acres.

The former Jackson-Stops route now redirects and its Rightmove route returned 410; neither is treated as sold or withdrawn because the current original is explicitly Available and current exact distribution remains live. The film's older £4m caption is historical. Official publisher film; playback not independently checked. The current original Stuart Rushton instruction is explicitly Available and its inventory labels a Video walkthrough.
