Green light for Bruntwood Hall plans

PLANS to transform Bruntwood Hall in Cheadle into a boutique hotel have been given the go-ahead.

The proposal by Oddfellows Hotels involve restoring and converting the 19th Century mansion to create 22 bedrooms, a restaurant, cocktail bar and private dining rooms.

There are also plans to incorporate a spa facility.

This will be the first time the impressive building based in the centre of Bruntwood Park will be a hotel. Its previous uses have included a Town Hall, a racehorse stud farm and more recently a filming company.

Oddfellows Hotels already own a boutique hotel in Chester and has been on the look out for a sister hotel for over a year.

Jonathan Slater of Oddfellows Hotels said: “We are truly excited about the process of sympathetically converting beautiful Bruntwood Hall. As with our Chester hotel, the focus will be on restoring the building’s original features, keeping a true sense of history and incorporating the signature touch of playful design that characterises an Oddfellows hotel. Tim Groom Architects and SpaceInvader designers, both home grown Manchester firms, are part of the team involved in the project.”

He added: “Demand has been very high for our Chester hotel and our guests are always asking if we have any other locations, so as a business, we feel this is the right time to grow and evolve. We are just thrilled to be able to add Bruntwood Hall, which will be known as Oddfellows On The Park, to the family.”
