Description
An exceptional equestrian home combining Georgian character, versatile accommodation and extensive facilities, set in nearly 5 acres of Cheshire countryside.
Positioned on a rural road, this extended five-bedroom farmhouse offers a rewarding rural lifestyle, with opportunities for hacking and off-road riding nearby. Delamere Forest, Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre and Cheshire Polo Ground are within easy reach, alongside connections to Chester and Manchester and Liverpool airports.
The farmhouse provides generous spaces for family life and entertaining, including an impressive seven-metre living room, separate dining room and conservatory overlooking the grounds. An office, utility room, two ground-floor WCs and a substantial cellar add practicality. Five bedrooms are complemented by a bespoke dressing room and two spacious bathrooms, one completed in 2024.
A two-bedroom annexe offers flexibility for extended family or guests, while two kitchens installed in 2022 enhance the accommodation.
The equestrian facilities are a particular highlight. Constructed in 2022, the distinctive L-shaped stable block features an archway and clocktower, six stables with generous height, rubber matting, partially rubber-lined walls, rear windows and a covered walkway. Lighting and CCTV serve the stables, yard and barn.
An approximately 30m x 30m rubber-surfaced riding arena, all-weather hardstanding corral and four-bay Fowler and Gilbert barn accompany level paddocks reseeded in 2022, with approved equestrian use.
Professionally landscaped gardens include a large pond and enclosed dog yard, alongside productive fruit and vegetable areas with two polytunnels, a greenhouse and raised beds. Extensive driveway parking and separate vehicular access to the barn and rear of the stables complete this impressive country home.
