The Rural Community of Barthomley, Cheshire is a village of history and interest. It has an active Parish Council and a bowls Club that recently celebrated its Centenary. It has a number of traditional black and white properties but the most prominent building is St. Bertoline’s Church. This is a Grade 1 Listed Building dating from the late 11th Century. Its name derives from a Saxon Saint. The White Lion Public House currently closed for renovation dates from 1614. The name derives from the Coat of Arms of the Crewe Estate most of which was sold to the Duchy of Lancaster in 1936. The land surrounding the barns is mostly under that ownership.

The shops closer than Crewe Town Centre are a short distance away at Betley Post Office or Alsager and the Motorway Services at junction 16 can supply 24 hour emergency purchases for basics. Leighton Hospital in Crewe is an excellent facility.

Prospective buyers are welcome to drive down the private drive to explore the property, take in the exterior, and enjoy the surrounding views and natural beauty.
To locate the property, from Junction 16 of the M6 take the B5078 towards Alsager, passing the services and turn left for Barthomley. In the village turn right where the Church is ahead of you onto Rushy Lane, follow this out of the village towards Englesea Brook.
