There’s a massive country house currently for sale in Cheshire that’s so grand, it could easily have been the setting of Saltburn.
Saltburn has been the biggest film of the last year, starring Jacob Elordi, Barry Keoghan and Rosamund Pike, and has been a huge – and very jaw-dropping – hit.
The film follows wealthy student Felix (Elordi) who takes his new university friend Ollie (Keoghan) to his family estate – and spoilers do lie ahead…
As the action unfolds, there are plenty of unexpected and shocking twists and turns, from slurping bath water to that grave scene.
One of the unexpected stars of the film has been the property on which it was filmed, and if you too have a new-found appreciation for a proper British stately home (and happen to have a spare £12.5m lying around), we’ve found the house for you.

This eight-bedroom Cheshire mansion also comes with three separate cottages, multiple swimming pools and its own gym and entertainment room. So there’s plenty of space for entertaining less fortunate visitors (just watch out for any shifty guest behaviour…)
This country home also includes a huge red-tiled pool which is strangely fitting, for anyone who’s seen the film.

Inside it boasts beautiful ornate decor which is a spitting image of the Saltburn mansion, with so many similarities, I’m half-expecting Barry Keoghan to jump out and start parading around with no clothes on.
Outside in the grounds, the property even has its very own lake, which fits the Saltburn theme nicely.
The £12.5m pad has a huge private driveway with plenty of space for all your Lamborghinis and Ferraris, plus room to add a couple more to your collection.

The complex takes up more than 40 acres of land, and is surrounded by fields to reinforce that private luxury feel that the house gives.
So if you have a house-hunting budget of £12.5 million and want to live up your Saltburn fantasies, then this mansion is for you.

Plans submitted for new £250 million mixed residential neighbourhood in Stockport
Danny Jones
Plans have officially been submitted for a brand-new £250 million neighbourhood in the heart of Stockport town centre.
The new mixed residential mini-village simply dubbed, ‘Stockport 8’, has been put forward by the local LLP of the same name, set up as part of a partnership between Stockport Council and ECF (English Cities Fund – itself a joint venture between Homes England, Legal & General, and Muse).
Set to cost a quarter of a billion, the proposed neighbourhood is just the latest step of the ever-growing Stockport Mayor Development Corporation (MDC) masterplan, a wider £500m scheme to transform the specific Stockport Town Centre West area into the most sustainable, liveable town centre in the UK.
With a planning application now submitted, we’ve also been given another look at what the new Stockport neighbourhood would look like if green-lit.
We first heard reports of the new Stockport 8 neighbourhood back in January after CGIs of what the developers envisioned were shared with the public, alongside how it fit into the West blueprints.
The overall goal of the development is to create a high-quality, green neighbourhood featuring a mix of housing tenures to suit existing and new homeowners and tenants.
Aiming to build a grand total of 1,300 high-quality, energy-efficient homes all told as part of a whopping £1bn investment in Stockport town centre, there will also be room for businesses and community spaces on the ground floor level to knit into the existing centre and its community.
There’s also an insistence from those behind the project to create different atmospheres, creating new environments for people to meet, socialise, relax and enjoy, such as residential courtyards and green roofs, as well as the usual modern amenities re: parking, vehicle charging, bike storage etc.
All told, the council and their development partners – which include chief designers, shedkm, and landscape architects, Planit – are hoping to contribute nearly a third of the homes in Stockport MDC masterplan, which is hoping to surpass 4,000 homes over a total of 130 acres.
As well as helping contribute to the busy and vital road network that is continuing to be redeveloped, the goal is to create a safe and sustainable travel environment too, with a pedestrian-only street running through the centre of the scheme.
With one big road (Cook Street) running throughout the neighbourhood, the new builds will also look to knit into Stockport’s existing structure, celebrating the area’s rich heritage and character by even reintroducing historic street patterns and street names.
If you’re interested in the skyline-changing new project, you can find out more HERE.
Planning permission applications in Manchester can sometimes take upwards of 13 weeks due to the various individual stages and processes, so we’re still a while of way from knowing if/when Stockport 8 will begin work but with a summer 2027 completion date, it could be a huge moment for the town.
