Rural refuge
Nestled at the end of a quiet country lane, with no through-traffic, No. 1, Arclid Shire Barns is rural, but not remote, surprisingly accessible only a couple of turns off the M6.
Fields and mature hedgerows provide a buffer of green, and opposite the entrance to the home is a three-acre field with brand new triple stable block.
OWNER QUOTE: “I always find myself smiling when driving up the lane because I’m just so happy here.”
Pull along the driveway and through the gated entrance, where there is plenty of parking to the front alongside a detached double garage.
In the heart of ‘The Horselands’
Originally used for breeding shire horses, Arclid Shire Barns is aptly named, a handful of three barns in total alongside the original farmhouse, converted over twenty years ago. Secluded and private, but not isolated, the equestrian connection runs deep, with Arclid Farm and Arclid Hall to the rear, and Somerford Park and Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centres also close by.
Make your way indoors, into the bright and open entrance hallway, where light streams in through the large Velux window above the solid wood staircase to the left. Instantly sense the homely, warm welcome of No. 1, Arclid Shire Barns upon arrival.
Light filled living
Ahead and left, glazed double doors provide a sneak preview of the enormous living room, a sociable hub of the home. Light flows in through large windows to the front and rear, whilst a log-burning stove issues warmth and welcome from within its handsome redbrick surround. Contemporary spotlighting shines down from above, with soft uplighting to the walls. Underfoot, a large cream carpet inset within a deep solid wood edging adds a softness to the room. Perfect for parties and Christmas time, this room is an entertaining haven.
Returning to the entrance hall, make your way ahead from the front door into the tiled utility room, where there is space for a freestanding freezer and plumbing for a washer-dryer. A stable door leads out to the courtyard garden at the rear.
Continue ahead, into the kitchen, tiled in terracotta shades underfoot and with ample storage in the wooden farmhouse feel cabinetry, which also includes a large pantry cupboard. Granite worktops provide plenty of preparation space whilst appliances include a large double oven with hob, Belfast sink and integrated fridge.
Feast your eyes
Opening up from the kitchen is the dining room, open yet separate, with a contemporary deep blue feature wall and views out to the courtyard. When hosting gatherings, simply turn the dining table to accommodate all the family – in this sociable space.
From the kitchen-diner, emerge into an inner hallway, leading to an accessible ground floor bedroom, carpeted underfoot and with views out to the garden. A versatile room, with its own ensuite shower room, it can also serve as a playroom or home office, highlighting the flexibility and adaptability of this home.
Returning to the entrance hall, take the stairs up to the landing, where directly ahead lies bedroom three. A comfortable double bedroom, with leafy views out over the courtyard to the rear, it also features its own walk-in wardrobe.
So, to bed…
Next door, bedroom two is a spacious and homely room, with a low, deep window framing views out over the Arclid courtyard and to Jodrell Bank in the distance. Light and bright, this double bedroom is carpeted underfoot in cream and its sloping high ceiling features a characterful exposed beam.
Freshen up in the family bathroom opposite, part tiled to the walls and underfoot, with bath containing showerhead attachment, wash basin and WC. Light streams in through a high window to the front wall.
Tucked privately away at the end of the landing, seek sanctuary in the peaceful main bedroom. Shimmering tones accent the feature wall, against which the super-king-size bed is situated. Carpeted underfoot, a run of robust wooden wardrobes provides plenty of storage, with views over the courtyard and countryside framed through the deep-set window.
Refresh in the ensuite, furnished with shower, wash basin and WC, where light flows in through a porthole window in the ceiling.
Above, the boarded loft offers ample storage space.
Freedom to roam
Outside, the garden at Arclid Shire Barns serves as an extension of the entertaining space indoors. To the front a large lawn is securely bordered by high, mature hedging and a gated entrance. The lane beyond has no through traffic aside from the occasional dog walker, providing perfect privacy and a safe environment for children and pets.
Enjoy a glass of wine in the garden and soak up the sunshine. A chicken coop to the front could be ideal for those wishing to keep feathered friends. Wander over to the three-acre field opposite to tend the horses, or even enjoy a game of rounders! A wooded area is ripe for adventuring and den building. When planning permission was granted for the brand-new stable block (comprising tack room, three stables, hay barn and washroom all furnished with power, lighting and water feeders), change of use to equestrian land was granted, whilst permission remains in place for the addition of a manège.
OWNER QUOTE: “Children can be children here. It’s so well suited to a family.”
To the rear, there is a courtyard between all the barns, often used on special occasions such as Halloween and Christmas to come together and socialise with the neighbouring homes.
Out and about
Rural, but not remote, No. 1, Arclid Shire Barns is mere minutes from motorway connections and the M6. Pick up a mainline connection to London from Crewe, only 15 minutes’ drive away.
In the heart of equestrian country, this home is well suited to horse lovers, with all the big equestrian centres close by. Backing onto Arclid Farm, and close to Somerford Park Farm, eventing is at its zenith in the surrounding areas. The hacking is second to none, with a quarry close by and walks and cycle trails in abundance on the doorstep.
Families are well served by a range of well-reputed local schools, including Smallwood Church of England Primary School, only seven minutes away, and the nearby Congleton High School.
The thriving town of Sandbach is only 20 minutes’ walk away, just moments by car, and is brimming with gastro pubs, restaurants, independent shops, cafes and convenience stores.
Experience the best of rurality and embrace the community and culture of country life, whilst retaining connections to the wider world, at this idyllic equestrian family home, a happy horsey hideaway.
