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.
Molly-Mae Hague revisits first Manchester flat, now on the market for £185k

Molly-Mae Hague’s first Manchester flat is now on the market for £185k – and the star herself has paid a visit to her old digs.
Those who have been following Molly-Mae since before she shot to serious fame on Love Island will have recognised the backdrop of her recent TikTok video.
The 27-year-old reality TV star and businesswoman posed around the one-bedroom flat, dancing to Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘House Tour’.
The apartment is where she lived just before entering Love Island, and where she and now-fiance Tommy Fury lived briefly when they left the show.
And now that exact flat where she really launched her social media career has been listed for sale, at £185,000.
The corner apartment stands on the 17th floor of Islington Wharf, overlooking New Islington tram stop and right on the doorstep of Ancoats.
Her former landlord, who arranged for Molly-Mae to have one look around her old flat before it’s sold, said that she was a ‘lovely, polite and down-to-earth young woman, and an excellent tenant who looked after the apartment extremely well.’
The one bedroom apartment has double-aspect floor-to-ceiling windows which look across Manchester on one side, and out towards the Pennines on the other.
It’s listed for sale with no chain and the option to include existing furnishings (which seems to include the same couch Molly-Mae had at the time).
The flat also has a kitchen/living space, a communal garden, superfast broadband, and is within walking distance of Manchester Piccadilly.
New measures announced to tackle ‘rogue’ landlords across Greater Manchester
Emily Sergeant
A cohort of trained enforcement officers are set to hit the streets in all 10 boroughs to help improve the lives of the region’s renters.
Forming part of Greater Manchester‘s commitment to the highest-quality housing standards alongside the Good Landlord Charter, the newly trained enforcement officers will be tasked with protecting tenants, joining Council teams in checking rental properties, bringing enforcement action against bad landlords, and cracking down on illegal practices.
The introduction of the new enforcement officers comes after what has been ‘years of sustained pressure’ on local budgets.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) says it is working with the 10 councils across the region to strengthen local teams, rebuild in-house skills and expertise, and ensure that powers can be applied with consistency in all boroughs.
As mentioned, this is happening alongside the Good Landlord Charter – which is GMCA’s ‘bold approach’ to drive up standards for renters across the region.
Landlords of more than half of rented properties in Greater Manchester have now signed up as supporters of the Charter, and as supporters, they have committed to going above and beyond legal minimums to improve the renting experience for hundreds of thousands of people.
“A safe place to call home is the cornerstone of a happy, healthy life,” explained Mayor Bev Craig. “But for years, people have felt trapped in poor-quality housing, and cash-strapped councils were unable to step in to help. I’m putting an end to that.
“We know there are plenty of good landlords in Greater Manchester, and many of them have already signed up to our Good Landlord Charter, but too many are just not good enough.
“That’s why we’re deploying a new generation of expert housing officers onto the streets of our towns and cities.”
Mayor Bev Craig declared that she ‘won’t stand by and let rogue landlords take advantage of people’.
She continued: “By empowering renters, working with responsible landlords, and using our powers to crack down on the bad ones, I will make sure everyone in Greater Manchester has the foundation for a good life.”
