Description

WATCH OUR GUIDED VIDEO TOUR!!

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country home with a high-spec detached annex, set within approximately four acres of private, enclosed grounds—offering exceptional versatility for multi-generational living, lifestyle buyers or income potential. The Willows combines space, flexibility and setting in equal measure. The main residence is complemented by a beautifully appointed detached annex, ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, a home office or potential Airbnb/holiday let income. The grounds are a true highlight—approaching four acres of secure, fenced land—creating a paradise for dog owners and those seeking a lifestyle property. With open lawns, a natural pond and expansive space to explore, there is also clear potential for equestrian or smallholding use, whether for ponies, alpacas or other animals. Positioned in a sought-after semi-rural location, the property offers the best of both worlds—peaceful countryside living with excellent connectivity. The newly established byway provides easy access to the wider road network, with Manchester Airport approximately 30 minutes away, Crewe station within 20 minutes for direct London services, and Alderley Edge and Knutsford also within easy reach. Congleton and Holmes Chapel railway stations are just minutes away, while a network of public footpaths and cycle routes can be accessed directly from the doorstep.The property also offers exciting potential from a sustainability perspective. The annex already benefits from an air source heat pump with underfloor heating, and there is clear scope to further enhance energy efficiency through ground-mounted solar, a ground source heating system or even a domestic wind turbine—appealing to those looking to future-proof their home. Internally and externally, the property offers further scope to evolve, with previous planning approvals granted for extensions to the main house and additional garaging, allowing buyers to tailor the home to their own requirements over time. Despite its rural feel, The Willows is just a short distance from the thriving market town of Congleton, offering a wide range of independent shops, restaurants and traditional pubs, ensuring everyday amenities are always within easy reach. High-speed fibre broadband is installed, with a network system providing strong WiFi coverage across the entire property—ideal for modern working and connected living. A home of genuine flexibility, lifestyle appeal and future potential—rarely available in such a well-connected yet private setting.

The Willows also carries a subtle note of local heritage, having previously been associated with World Cup winner Alan Ball!
