Chris Graves and Derry Green

The commercial property team at national law firm, Stephensons, has completed the acquisition of La Mancha Hall in Halsall, between Southport and Ormskirk, on behalf of its client, The Secret Garden Glamping.

The property, worth £1.8m, encompasses the Grade II-listed house, 10 acres of woodland and paddocks surrounding the property, and additional structures and outbuildings.

The Secret Garden Glamping owns ‘The Secret Garden Glamping’ site in Skelmersdale, which offers five-star rated glamping accommodation.

This acquisition marks an exciting chapter in its plans to grow the business further.

Derry Green, owner and director of The Secret Garden Glamping, recently appeared on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den programme, securing a £100,000 investment from entrepreneur, Deborah Meaden to help him realise his ambitious plans for the business.

He said: “The purchase of La Mancha Hall marks the beginning of a new, exciting chapter in the history of Secret Garden Glamping. I cannot thank Chris Graves and the team at Stephensons enough for their expertise and support with the acquisition of the property.

“We have a range of ambitious plans for La Mancha Hall which will be outlined in due course. However, at the centre of those plans will be breathing new life into the property whilst preserving its history and the natural beauty of its grounds.”

Chris Graves, partner in the commercial property department at Stephensons, said: “I am delighted to have been able to help Derry and his team acquire La Mancha Hall. This acquisition is an important milestone for him (Derry), and his team, and I look forward to learning more about his exciting plans for the future.”
