What is being bought

Published requirement description

Croxteth Hall sits in a traditional beautiful Country Park and is one of Liverpool's most important heritage sites.

Formerly the home of the Earls of Sefton, this stunning building is preserved in time; when you enter Croxteth Hall you step back in time as the house is frozen in the Edwardian age.

Outside on the grounds of the Country Park is the Victorian Walled Garden, all set in over 500 acres of historic parkland whilst surrounding the Hall is a beautiful woodland, pasture, and nature reserve - all of which are open to the public

The Country Park Estate is owned and operated by Liverpool City Council and the estate currently attracts over 600,000 visitors per year and is Liverpool's largest green space and public park.
