6 bedroom house

Cheshire Farmhouse is an impressive example of a period property positioned in an enviable location within the Cheshire countryside. Far reaching views can be enjoyed from the property and with the further benefit of approximately 5 acres of land it is likely to be of interest to those with an equestrian interest or indeed those looking for extra space to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle.

The house itself is of an excellent size with accommodation set over two storeys with an extension having being done approximately 30 years ago providing optional ancillary rooms which is currently being used within the main accommodation of the house. The enviable layout opens with a main entrance hall which splits two of the principal ground floor accommodation rooms, the family room and the living room/study. Both these rooms are well proportioned with dual aspect light and a fireplace as a focal point in the family room. From the family room access can be granted to the kitchen which again has dual aspect and front and rear aspect doors providing ample dining space with views over the garden to the front. From here access can be gained into the dining room which in turn provides access to the second kitchen/utility as well as double doors to the conservatory. Positioned to the far corner of the utility/kitchen is an additional side hall which gives access to the ground floor bathroom. At first floor level the accommodation continues to impress with six bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom with a family bathroom servicing the other rooms.

A most impressive six bedroom detached house extending to approximately 3,200 sqft benefitting from a beautiful rural aspect as well as gardens and land extending to approximately 5 acres.

Due to the design of the extension which was carried out, the accommodation lends itself to being split into two different areas with separate staircases leading to each providing good levels of privacy between the two parts. Attractive views can be enjoyed from the first floor across the grounds and adjoining countryside to the side and rear.

Externally the property is accessed via a gravelled driveway with ample parking for several vehicles and this is flanked by attractive gardens to both sides. To the rear is a small area housing the shed and central heating boiler. Of particular interest is the land, the area of which can be seen on the attached land plan, and extends to approximately 5 acres in total. This will be of interest to those with an equestrian interest although the current vendors have enjoyed it as accommodation land. A new 8' x 8' greenhouse was added a couple of years ago.

The current owners have lived in the property for over 30 years and have enjoyed it as a family home benefitting from close local links to the villages of Crowton and Acton Bridge as well as further transport links. This hugely appealing property provides adaptable and extensive accommodation which would be of interest to those working from home or requiring extra accommodation either for a large family or those in need of ancillary accommodation.
