About this property
An 18C Georgian Country Farmhouse on the outskirts of Frodsham, North Cheshire. A town which enjoys a weekly Thursday market along Main Street, with its specialist shops, popular pubs and wine bars. This historic character farmhouse is located in open countryside between Frodsham Hill and Helsby Hill, and a short walk from Frodsham Marshes and the Mersey Estuary, which attracts many people for its world renowned bird watching. Godscroft Hall stands on the site of a medieval water mill. The remains of the mill pond dam is still in evidence. The first mention of a water mill on the site dates from 1303. The mill was still in use in 1844. Godscroft Hall has been owned by The Warburton Family, who have farmed the surrounding land for four generations. All the family members live nearby. The entrance of the property leads into the large Dining Hall. The interior comprises rooms with character high ceilings or exposed oak beams. The drawing room is a lovely place to return to after a day’s outing; comfy sofas sit amidst traditional furnishings, open fire and a front-facing window welcomes in the natural light. For a cosier feel, enjoy a quiet family evening in the Snug, playing board games, watching TV, reading and chilling out. Follow the grand staircase up to the spacious master bedroom suite, passing the small library area on the top landing. The second family bedroom is just off the grand staircase and comprises king size bed with two singles.
Further along the inner landing you will find a spacious third bedroom comprising a king size bed. The family bathroom is adjacent.
All bedrooms are beautifully presented yet are attuned to the Hall’s authentic feel. Follow the back stairs down to the spacious well equipped kitchen and pantry area. There is also a downstairs cloakroom and storage area. Surrounded by farmland and a farm conservation area within a semi rural location, it is five minutes from Frodsham town centre, and is a remarkable place to visit, bringing guests a holiday to remember any time of year. Just outside the Bears Paw pub in the centre of Frodsham marks the start of the Sandstone Trail, which stretches for 34 miles past nearby Delamere Forest and on into Whitchurch, in Shropshire. The River Weaver offers towpath walks, which allow you to visit Dutton Locks, plus the famous Anderton Boat Lift further on. For the more enthusiastic walker, the North Cheshire Way stretches for 70 miles from the Wirral to the Peak District. The city of Chester is also accessible, a 20 minute drive away. Frodsham railway station is approx 1 mile away.

Nestled in the peaceful countryside, the hall is full of character and history, offering a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. The rooms are spacious and well-kept, with beautiful period features that add to the overall atmosphere. The beds are made up with very comfortable bedding and so comfortable. One of the highlights of Godscroft Hall is its stunning surroundings. The grounds are picturesque, providing a serene environment thatâs ideal for relaxation. Whether youâre taking a peaceful stroll or enjoying the scenic views, itâs a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our host, Liz, was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, welcoming, and always attentive, ensuring that every need was met with genuine care. Her local knowledge and personal touch made our stay even more enjoyable, and her hospitality added a special warmth to the experience. Another plus is the convenient location of Godscroft Hall. Itâs easy to get to Liverpool, with just a short drive away, and in about an hour you can be at the stunning Welsh coast. Frodsham had a delightful Thursday market and plenty of local pubs serving delicious fayre. Whether you're looking for a countryside retreat or planning day trips to nearby cities and coastal spots, this location is ideal. I would highly recommend Godscroft Hall to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable countryside getaway. With its beautiful setting, proximity to key locations, and Lizâs exceptional hosting, itâs the perfect retreat for families, couples, or anyone wanting to unwind in a beautiful and tranquil environment. We will be back.

Took us three hours to drive there from Gateshead, but was definitely worth it! Every detail has been thought of by Liz. The garden is huge, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the beds are really comfortable. The Dunners.
