Description

An extremely rare opportunity to renovate and extend, an exquisite, south facing, period 6 bedroom farmhouse with outbuildings, with potential for development, all with breathtaking views nestled in about 22.58 acres.

(more land available to buy/rent if required)

Description - Chorley Stock Farm is a true rarity to the market, offering the discerning buyer the opportunity to totally renovate, extend and create a magnificent country house, in an exceptional location. Special and rare because this most attractive red brick period farmhouse sits in the most sublime location, nestled and protected at the end of quiet no-through lane, with outstanding far reaching views of the undulating Cheshire countryside. No passing traffic, just total peace and tranquility. The house offers a high degree of privacy being ring fenced by its own farmland. This rural idyll is only 6 miles from Nantwich, and 9 miles from Tarporley.

The farmhouse, is a period gem, with a suite of large light rooms, offering high ceilings and beautiful views, with the front of the house facing south. There is not a disappointing room in the house. Internally there are many period features such as beamed ceilings and fireplaces. The house offers a blank canvas, with much scope for extension, subject to the necessary consents being obtained. At present there is an outrigger to the side elevation with store room to the end, which could easily be incorporated into the accommodation, as it lies next to the separate WC, which in turns abuts the entrance hall. The entrance hall has a set of stairs that goes up bedroom six. The inner hall leads to the utility/boot room, to the rear, and study/snug to the front. There is also a second set of stairs that lead to bedrooms five and six. To the front, south facing elevation, lies two generously proportioned reception rooms, both with beamed ceilings and fireplaces. To the rear lies the dining room, again with beamed ceiling and fireplace. Abutting each other are the kitchen and breakfast room which could easily be knocked into one huge room.

The first floor has exceptional ceiling height, with four large double bedrooms accessed off the main staircase. There is a family bathroom with separate WC. Bedrooms five and six are also good sized doubles and are accessed via the two secondary staircases.

Gardens & Paddock Land - Chorley Stock has a stately approach befitting more a country house than farmhouse, with a long sweeping drive meandering through the paddock land, turning back on itself to afford access to firstly the agricultural buildings, then to the side of the house. The gardens predominantly lie to the front, southerly elevation and to the side, easterly elevation. They comprise of level lawns, (in need of attention), ring fenced by mature shrubs and specimen trees.

The paddock land surrounds the house, and consists of numerous useful fields, ideal for the hobby farmer or equestrian use. The land has not been over stocked and is mainly laid to grass with an abundance of hedgerows. Sitting with the fields are a few small wildlife ponds.

Outbuildings - There are two large brick outbuildings, that have a myriad of uses, and are ripe for development, subject to planning. They are both single storey and form a courtyard area to the side of the gardens/house. The smaller of the two consists of numerous stores/former stables, with log and hay stores at either end. The second, larger building is a former shippen.

Standing away from the traditional buildings lie the more modern steel portal framed buildings, in need of repair, offering yet further scope for development into numerous different uses, subject to consents. There is a brick single garage to the side of the house, which could easily be incorporated into the main accommodation if required.

Location - The farmhouse sits at the end of a rural no-through lane, offering total privacy and an extremely quite location. The house has the benefit of a footpath, a good distance from the house, that leads to lovely rural walks, ideal for the dog walker. The house is enveloped by Cholmondeley estate land, offering peace of mind.

The rural hamlet of Chorley is surrounded by rolling farmland and is nearby to the serviced village of Wrenbury and the town of Nantwich. Nantwich is a popular medieval town with timber framed buildings and a range of public houses, boutique shops, cafes and train station. Cholmondeley Castle, is a short drive away with parkland, beautiful formal gardens, woodland walks, a café and seasonal events. Cholmondeley has a wonderful farm shop and the popular Cholmondeley Arms public house.

Travel connections are excellent, with the nearest train station at Wrenbury, giving access to regional rail services via a connection at Crewe, which facilities an under two-hour com commute to London Euston. A commute to Manchester and Liverpool is also easily facilitated by the train network. Road access is also excellent, lying close to the A49 and the A530, providing direct road routes to Nantwich, Crewe, Whitchurch and Tarporley . The M6 motorway, junction 16 is within an easy drive, making the daily commute to nearby conurbations and airports easy.
