Description

A beautifully appointed barn conversion combining exceptional architectural character, contemporary comfort and peaceful countryside living in one of Cheshire's most desirable locations.

Set within a prestigious private enclave in Mere, High Barn is an impressive five-bedroom residence distinguished by soaring vaulted ceilings, substantial oak beams, exposed brickwork and remarkable natural light.

Its beautifully proportioned interiors have been thoughtfully updated, retaining the character of the original building while introducing bespoke craftsmanship, refined finishes and modern technology.

South-facing gardens, uninterrupted views across open farmland and a wonderfully private setting create an exceptional sense of escape, yet Knutsford, Hale and Altrincham remain within easy reach.

THE ACCOMMODATION
At the heart of the home is a bespoke Sheerin kitchen, featuring handcrafted cabinetry, extensive storage, Miele appliances, a Falcon range cooker and traditional Belfast sinks.

The adjoining open-plan living and dining area is undoubtedly one of High Barn's defining spaces. Dramatic double-height ceilings, exposed oak beams and an impressive brick fireplace create a striking architectural setting, while expansive glazing and French doors connect the interiors directly to the south-facing terrace and gardens.

A separate sitting room provides a more intimate space to relax, complete with a stone fireplace, gas fire and further access to the garden.

The ground floor also offers a generous laundry room with bespoke cabinetry, additional utility accommodation, a cloakroom and guest WC.

BEDROOMS AND PRIVATE SPACES
Five generously proportioned double bedrooms are arranged across the first floor.

The principal suite offers a particularly peaceful retreat, with impressive ceiling heights, remotely operated blackout blinds and a bespoke fitted dressing room. Its contemporary bathroom features twin basins, a spacious double shower and a double-ended bath.

A charming guest suite celebrates the building's original character through exposed oak beams, vaulted ceilings and countryside views, complemented by a contemporary en suite.

Three further double bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

On the second floor, a versatile additional room is currently arranged as a two-person home office with bespoke Sheerin cabinetry, offering potential for use as a library, studio or private retreat.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The mature south-facing gardens provide a beautiful extension of the living accommodation, enjoying privacy and uninterrupted views across the surrounding Cheshire countryside.

An expansive flagstone terrace offers an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while established lawns, mature trees and carefully considered planting create a tranquil backdrop throughout the seasons.

Private parking, an integral garage, a garden store and external lighting complete the outside accommodation.

CONTEMPORARY COMFORT
High Barn's original architectural character is complemented by a carefully considered modern specification, including integrated Bose surround sound, Hive heating, remote-controlled gas fires, security and alarm systems, a Ring doorbell and electric-vehicle charging.

Bespoke cabinetry, solid oak flooring, contemporary bathrooms and quality finishes continue throughout the property.

LOCATION AND LIFESTYLE
High Barn occupies a peaceful position in Mere, combining the tranquillity of the Cheshire countryside with excellent access to the area's most desirable towns and villages.

The historic market town of Knutsford is approximately three miles away, offering independent boutiques, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities, while nearby Tatton Park provides extensive parkland, gardens and walking routes.

Hale, Bowdon and Altrincham are also within convenient reach, offering a wide selection of restaurants, shopping, leisure facilities and transport connections.

Mere Golf Club and The Mere resort are close by, providing access to championship golf, spa and leisure facilities.

The area is well served by a selection of state and independent schools, with prospective purchasers advised to make their own enquiries regarding admissions and catchment areas.

Manchester Airport, the M56 and M6 are conveniently accessible, while rail services from Knutsford and Altrincham provide connections to Manchester and beyond.

High Barn offers a rare combination of architectural individuality, beautifully appointed family accommodation and a peaceful countryside setting, without compromising on connectivity.

Offered for sale with no onward chain.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)
