Beloved by generations of Grand Designs fans and chosen by Kevin McCloud as one of his Top 100 Grand Designs, Lymm Water Tower is the great-granddaddy of all makeovers. And now, after more than 20 years as our much-loved family home, this extraordinary landmark is for sale.

This is your chance to own a genuine Grand Designs icon: a Grade II listed Victorian water tower transformed into a spectacular, multi-award-winning contemporary home. Rising five storeys above the Cheshire countryside, the original 19th-century stone tower is wrapped in a bold, light-filled modern extension, creating a home that is as dramatic as it is remarkably comfortable to live in. At the top, some 26 meters above ground, the original spiral staircase leads to the piece de résistance – a private roof garden and hot tub with extraordinary 360-degree views stretching across Cheshire and towards Manchester, Liverpool, the Welsh hills and the Peak District.

With 11 major awards to its name – including an RIBA Award and the Daily Telegraph’s Overall Winner – Lymm Water Tower has been celebrated as an architectural landmark for more than two decades. But for us, it has simply been home. Now it is time for someone else to write the next chapter.
