A Grade II* listed gentlemen’s residence located in a convenient backwater, said to be set in approximately 3.5 acres of grounds (tbc) and was the seat of Sir Francis Bowyer in the early 17th Century. This home is circa early-mid 18th Century and it was substantially reduced and remodelled in the 19th Century.

In recent years the present vendor has modernised it sympathetically to retain many original features. Two particular unique features are the fine open well staircase which has scrolled tread-ends and a wrought iron and brass balustrade with anthemion decorations and James Bateman monogram dated 1800. James Bateman was an eminent horticulturalist and landscape gardener who designed the gardens at Biddulph Grange and we are lead to believe he executed his first landscape design at Knypersley Hall. To show James Batemans excellency, he also developed Biddulph Grange, which is a National Trust site after moving from Knypersley Hall circa 1840. Interestingly enough and what really makes you understand the significance of this home is that a large plaque has been positioned at a local Knypersley reservoir with a picture of the house and significant details about it.
