The Dairy is an attractive and substantial detached barn conversion, offering well over 3,500 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed, family-friendly living space. Situated on a generous 3-acre plot in the highly desirable area of High Legh, the property combines charming character with flexible modern accommodation.

Positioned in the corner of the plot, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy with pleasant, well-maintained formal gardens to the front and a secluded, courtyard-style garden to the rear. Beyond the immediate gardens, the remaining land stretches outwards, providing open views and offering a rare opportunity for use as a small equestrian facility or similar due to its layout and size.

Inside, the accommodation spans two floors and is arranged to suit modern family life. A spacious reception hall welcomes you in, leading to a stunning lounge extending over 34 feet in length, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The heart of the home is the generous breakfast kitchen, which connects seamlessly to both the utility room and the dining room. A separate family room offers additional flexible living space, while a boiler room and ground floor WC add to the practicality. Upstairs, the first floor hosts five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite facilities and a further en suite to bedroom two.

A detached carport provides sheltered parking and adds to the overall convenience, alongside a sprawling driveway fit for parking several vehicles.

Ideally located for access to a selection of sought-after schools, excellent motorway connections, and the vibrant nearby towns of Knutsford, Altrincham, and Lymm, The Dairy offers a rare blend of rural charm and accessibility. This lovely home is offered with no onward chain, presenting a unique opportunity to acquire a versatile, character-filled property in a peaceful yet highly connected setting.
