On the market for £2.5m, the sale includes 19th Century Marchwiel Hall, a Grade II listed building, with five main reception rooms, a ballroom and 12 bedrooms.

In 1883, its owner, Benjamen Piercy, a wealthy civil and railway engineer, laid the cricket ground, which could have been a big draw for its next owner, Sir Alfred David McAlpine, son of Sir Robert McAlpine, founder of the construction firm.

The cricket ground is home to Marchwiel and Wrexham Cricket Club, the only part of the estate open to the public.
