A GRADE II listed country house in Cheshire, once home to famed mountaineer George Mallory, is up for sale with a guide price of £6.5 million.
Newton Hall, a historic property in Mobberley dating back to at least the 16th century, has been extensively refurbished and extended, according to property agents Stuart Rushton & Co.
The estate agents said that the 'handsome' six-bedroom home is situated on Newton Hall Lane and is set in 6.5 acres of 'immaculate gardens and grounds' and boasts a large swimming pool, grass tennis court, and equestrian facilities.
The property, which is in the village's conservation area, is said to have been restored to an exceptional standard with a comprehensive internal refit and bespoke cabinetry throughout.
The current owners acquired the property around ten years ago and have made significant improvements, including extensions and remodelling work.
Many of the windows are by Crittall, and the kitchen and sitting room extension feature cabinetry by Hetherington Newman of Knutsford.
Drummonds bathroom fittings and immaculate tiling are also featured in the home.
The property has two sets of gates leading to a large gravel forecourt and turning area suitable for numerous guests.
The gardens are described as 'beautifully manicured', with topiary yew hedges, flowers, shrubs, and several ancient trees.
A York stone terrace wraps around the house, leading to a large pool deck with a summer house and an outdoor heated swimming pool, which is run by an air source heat pump and electric cover.
The estate agents said the grass tennis court is regularly used by the owners, and a pathway leads through the gardens to the rest of the land, split into three paddocks and including a small equestrian facility with a concrete forecourt, brand-new timber stable buildings, and a fully-fenced manege.
The interior of the house is equally impressive, with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a living room, library, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, pantry, and another living area.
Other ground floor rooms include an orangery, a gym, a study, a cloakroom, a laundry room, and a utility room.
A glazed walkway leads from the kitchen to the gym, from which the triple detached garage can also be accessed.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including the principal suite, which comes with a dressing room and en suite bathroom.
The remaining three bedrooms on this floor also boast en suites.
Two further bedrooms, served by a bathroom, are on the second floor.
Outside, the detached stable block is complete with two stables, a tack room, and a feed room.
There are also various store sheds and a post and railed manege.
The grounds also feature a heated outdoor pool with a nearby wooden summer/pool house.
The property was the birthplace of George Mallory, who was born there on June 18, 1886, and resided in the house for around five years.
The mountaineer famously went missing in 1924 with fellow climber Andrew Irvine during an attempt to conquer Mount Everest.
