Wreck of the week
Langley House

What? Langley House, built in 1868, is a Victorian mansion used most recently as offices, with seven acres of land. The owner has planning consent to extend it to 13,929 sq ft and convert it back into a country house with seven bedrooms, eight reception rooms, ten bathrooms, four kitchens, five studies, “contemplation room”, gym and triple garage.

Where? In the village of Styal, outside Wilmslow, three miles from Manchester airport.

How much? £2.5 million.

How wrecked? Extensive cosmetic work is required, such as taking down the office partitions, before installing central heating and starting on the elaborate scheme of extensions.

BACKGROUND

What will I need to spend? The agent estimates that going ahead with the present owner’s plans would cost up to £1 million, and that the house might then be worth £4.25m.
