Odstone had been on sale for quite a while but now looks like it has been sold and a serious amount of work has been carried out on the garden recently. It has a very large front garden but if I remember correctly from my golfing days the back garden is very small indeed and backs on to the Golfcourse.
Odstone was conceived by Manchester architect, Henry Goldsmith in 1912. He designed and built a house as stunning and awe inspiring as its surroundings and history in an old colonial style.
"Odstone is a truly magical house with gardens that hold their own secrets and a myriad of rooms that whisper through the long corridors of time. Odstone is a chance to buy a piece of history, to lovingly restore a still beautiful old home back to it‘s former glory .
Beautifully conceived and laid out, the house was lovingly designed with 4 large bedrooms, large kitchen, dining areas, a stunning sun terrace overlooking the golf course, a wrap around veranda for 360 degree views and with grounds and gardens. There are some ‘secret living quarters’ on the ground floor and surprises at every twist and turn. The driveway is formed on an old pier wall where Legend has it that Prince Madoc sailed from here in 1170 and landed in Mobile, Alabama.
A Bronze plaque placed on the rockery commemorate this voyage and his great find, a story which has intrigued historians for decades!"
