The Oddfellows hotel has received planning permission for a second site in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, which it acquired last year.
The 19th Century Bruntwood Hall, which has been used as a town hall, a racehorse stud farm and more recently by a filming company, will be converted into a 22-bedroom boutique hotel with a restaurant, cocktail bar, private dining rooms and spa.
Set in over 100 acres of parkland, the hotel – which will be named Oddfellows On The Park – will become the sister property of the group’s existing boutique hotel in Chester.
Jonathan Slater, managing director 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.”
He added that demand has been “very high” for the group’s existing hotel in Chester hotel and its guests often ask if the group has any other locations. “As a business, we feel this is the right time to grow and evolve,” he said. “We are just thrilled to be able to add Bruntwood Hall, which will be known as Oddfellows On The Park, to the family.”
Tim Groom Architects and SpaceInvader designers, both home grown Manchester firms, are part of the team involved in the project.
