Description

This attractive detached farmhouse is the principal dwelling within this pleasant and well conceived farmstead of individual properties that occupy a delightful rural location at the end of a long driveway.

The original farmhouse has been significantly extended over recent years, blending period features with modern day comforts, and now provides a spacious and characterful home with highly adaptive accommodation that extends to 3,300 square feet. There are two lovely main reception rooms - a lounge with beamed ceiling, brick inglenook fireplace and stone flagged floor, and a beautifully proportioned sitting room that makes up part of the more modern extension with open fireplace and access to the gardens. The large farmhouse kitchen forms the centre of the house and completing the ground floor accommodation are a family room/study and useful utility room.

To the first floor, off an impressive landing, are five bedrooms (one currently utilised as a fitted dressing room), a useful study/hobbies room and vast family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a light and spacious room with en-suite shower room and views over the gardens and adjoining paddock.

The farmhouse is set within wonderful gardens and grounds extending to approximately eight acres, making it ideal for those seeking privacy and space in a tranquil setting. The formal gardens are thoughtfully landscaped and provide a wonderful setting from which to enjoy the surrounding countryside. Beyond the gardens, a large paddock is perfect for equestrian or recreational use, and features a timber field shelter and a well-stocked carp pond. An excellent detached brick outbuilding currently provides excellent garaging/stabling/workshop space - planning permission was granted in 2015 (Cheshire West & Cheshire Council - App Number: 14/04435/FUL), now expired, for the conversion of this building into an excellent three bedroom bungalow. Those seeking multi-generational living space may be interested re-applying for permission.

With its idyllic setting and flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, this farmhouse represents a unique opportunity to embrace rural living while remaining within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.
