The Homestead (now Redwalls) is a large house in Weaverham Road, Sandiway, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1]
The house was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas and built in about 1906–07 on land he owned himself in Sandiway, the village of his birth.[2] The house and stables were built for B. J. Sanby, who bought the land from Douglas. By the 1970s its name had been changed to Redwalls and it was being used as a children's home.[3] As of 2009 it is a private nursing home.[4]
