Description

Randle Rode Farm is a remarkable Grade II* Listed 17th-century country estate, set within approximately 15.37 acres of picturesque Cheshire countryside and offering exceptional equestrian facilities, a private lake, woodland and beautifully characterful accommodation extending to approximately 3,836 sq ft.

Cherished by the current owners for 22 years, this distinguished timber-framed farmhouse is approached via an impressive tree-lined driveway, creating a wonderful sense of arrival. Steeped in history and heritage, the property combines period architecture and unique Tudor and Venetian influences with versatile family living.

The accommodation includes a well-appointed country kitchen with integrated appliances and ample space for a large dining table, with direct access to the terrace and gardens. The impressive formal drawing room is a particular highlight, featuring a rare historic minstrel gallery, rich timber detailing and an abundance of natural light. Further reception space includes a charming dining room and adjoining cosy sitting room.

There are five generously proportioned bedrooms, each retaining individual character and period features, complemented by thoughtfully designed bathrooms with attractive period-style fittings and luxurious free-standing baths.

The exceptional grounds provide a superb lifestyle opportunity, incorporating a private lake, enchanting woodland and extensive paddocks. For the equestrian enthusiast, Randle Rode Farm offers excellent facilities including stables, post and rail paddocks and a menage/arena.

Situated in the desirable semi-rural location of Betchton, just outside the historic market town of Sandbach, the property enjoys the tranquillity of the Cheshire countryside whilst remaining exceptionally well connected. Sandbach Railway Station is approximately 2 miles away, Crewe Mainline Station approximately 6 miles, and Junction 17 of the M6 around 3 miles away. Manchester Airport is also readily accessible.
