Crowton home with over 10 acres of land

A sought after Crowton location with fabulous views and a large detached outbuilding.

If uninterrupted views, over ten acres of land and total privacy are among your prerequisites for your next home, look no further than Spring Bank Farm, a true rural refuge in the equestrian heart of the Cheshire countryside.

Secluded sanctuary

Tucked away in the idyllic village of Crowton (former winners of Cheshire’s ‘Community Pride’ award for ‘Best Kept Village’), wrapped up in acres of its own land, thus preserving and future proofing views and privacy, Spring Bank Farm is ideal for those seeking tranquility and seclusion.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s very private and not overlooked, the home’s location is its finest feature. You have wonderful views from every room.”

Accessed along a peaceful, rural lane lined with characterful homes, sense the serenity before you arrive home. Set back and approached along a lengthy, gated driveway serving just one other property, there is also a further private, gated driveway, with access only to Spring Bank Farm, allowing in and out access.

Peace and privacy

Formerly stable buildings to the nearby farm, cedar cladding and a timber porch retain this equestrian vibe, an inviting entrance to the warm and welcoming home within.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s unique – like nothing else along the lane.”

Stone flooring, classic, timeless and durable runs throughout the mainstay of the home, perfect for the elemental surroundings of Spring Bank Farm.

Tucked away along the hallway to the right, a latched door opens to the utility room. A practical space, served by wooden worktops, cabinetry and plumbed for a washing machine, the utility also features a sink and has space for a fridge-freezer.

A warm welcome

Make your way through into the sitting room, alongside the kitchen, part of a more recent extension to Spring Bank Farm. Set on a stone plinth before an exposed brick feature wall, the freestanding log-burning stove connects to the boiler system for the efficient, oil-fired central heating. A cosy room in the winter, in summertime, bifolding doors open to the garden, beyond which extensive countryside views unfurl.

Ideally positioned next door to the kitchen, continue through to the heart of the home, where stone flooring continues, and soft grey Shaker-style cabinetry offers plenty of storage. Wooden worktops provide preparation space, edged in glossy green metro splashback tiles. A green Aga issues rustic warmth, whilst the Belfast sink also connects with the rural feel setting and farmhouse feel of the room with its high, vaulted ceiling, Velux windows and exposed beams. There is also a brand-new dishwasher and space for a fridge-freezer, with a handy larder room just off the kitchen. A stable door offers access out to the garden.

Rest and retreat

An inner hallway connects the kitchen to the original half of the home, where a bedroom can be found on the left, dressed in buttermilk shades and with ample space for a double bed and furniture. Two large windows draw in the light whilst providing views out over the countryside.

Across the hall lies a masterfully sized, carpeted bedroom, furnished with ensuite containing shower, WC and vanity unit wash basin.

Continuing along the hallway, arrive at the master suite. A large, light filled bedroom with stone flooring and beautiful garden views, this bedroom also features an ensuite, furnished with shower, wash basin and WC.

A latched cottage door opens from the master suite into a lounge, spacious and at once cosy courtesy of a log-burning stove inset within a quaint inglenook surround.

Savour the views

Retaining this home’s constant connection to the outdoors, a handsome solid wood door opens to a stunning oak porch, highlighting the flexibility and versatility of the home. Behold the breathtaking views and savour the seclusion and serenity of this spot.

Warmed by underfloor heating, this lounge opens up to the rear, into a dining area, bathed in light and once more looking out to the garden and countryside.

Opening up from the lounge, discover a fourth bedroom, spacious and serene, and served by a bathroom ensuite, with clawfoot, rolltop bath with showerhead attachment, wash basin and WC.

Two separate loft hatches provide access to individual attics providing storage, one served by a loft ladder.

Countryside cocoon

Extending to just under 12 acres, enjoy the peace and privacy of the gardens and grounds at Spring Bank Farm, safe in the knowledge that your solitude will remain unbroken.

Alongside the main, lawned garden, the surrounding fields are currently let to a local farmer, who in turn maintains the hedges.

Beyond the lawn, the garden at Spring Bank Farm includes a good size vegetable plot, for those wishing to grow their own, alongside productive apple, pear and plum trees.

Sit back on the patio and soak up the sunshine in this sunny, south facing garden.

An all-season garden, each month brings a new, picturesque element to be admired, from the carpet of spring bulbs to the thick blanket of muffling snow in the winter. In the height of summer, the mature oak tree along the hedge line provides welcome shade.

Towards the boundary, a 5.5-acre field runs to meet a two-acre field, with an acre of fishing pool, jointly owned with the neighbouring farm and formerly run as a joint commercial fishing venture.

With no public access, this is a serene spot in which to camp out with your camera and book and watch the wildlife on summer evenings, looking out for the tell-tale flash of blue from the resident kingfisher.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s a birdwatcher’s paradise. The night sky is stunning. It’s alive with owls at night.”
