Lymm Hall

Lymm Hall is a moated manor house in Cheshire built from handmade brick and traditional sandstone, featuring numerous small-paned windows throughout its structure. The estate encompasses about 10 acres and includes multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard area.

The house first appears in the Domesday Book and remained under the Domville family's ownership for over 500 years after they acquired it in 1342. The structure was reworked during the 16th century and still bears the marks of these different periods of occupation.

The landscape designer Edward Kemp created his first commissioned work here in 1849, shaping a rose garden that still defines the character of the grounds today. The garden reflects the design principles of that era and remains a focal point when walking through the estate.

The grounds can be explored on foot by walking through the different areas of the estate at your own pace. Access to certain sections may vary depending on the season and maintenance conditions, so it helps to check ahead about which areas are currently open.

The building contains an ornate coved ceiling with Elizabethan decorative plasterwork that was hidden from view for over two centuries. These ceiling details reveal the craftsmanship and artistic choices of the original builders.
