Description
3 Parkside Barns, Wrenbury Road, Chorley, CW5 8JT
Escape the hustle and bustle and embrace the peaceful surrounds of No. 3, Parkside Barns.
Cheshire country living
Enveloped in farmland, formerly part of the Cholmondley Estate, No. 3 sits amidst a handful of converted farm buildings organised in a U shape around a cobbled courtyard. Occupied bypleasant neighbours spanning the generations, this is a friendly community of homes.
With parking for two cars available in the double garage across the yard, there is additional parking space available outside the home.
A warm welcome
Step through the front door and into the warm welcome of the entrance hallway, whose tiled flooring is warmed by underfloor heating. Repainted throughout over the last three years in a contemporary and uplifting palette of earthy ‘Elephant’s Breath’ inspired grey, a harmonious palette flows throughout the home.
Freshen up in the cloakroom to the right, where cheerful tones and a playful cheetah-print feature wall infuse personality, complete with wash basin and WC.
Invitingly intimate, the lounge lies directly ahead from the main entrance, offering plenty of space for a series of sofas or armchairs and cosily carpeted underfoot. Light and views beckon through the windows to the rear, whilst in wintertime, the log-burning stove, snug beneath the wooden lintel, provides comforting cheer.
Feast your eyes
When company calls, the dining-kitchen transforms readily into an entertaining haven, its large, slate-style tiling amplifying the spaciousness of the open plan room. Plantation shuttered windows to the front provide both privacy and light from above the Belfast sink, while alabaster white worktops offer ample space for food prep.
Classic, Shaker-style cabinetry provides plenty of storage for everything from pots and pans to air fryers and other appliances, whilst within an inglenook, the electric Rangemaster cooker takes on the culinary load. Alongside an integrated dishwasher, there is also plumbing for an ice making and water dispensing fridge freezer. Tucked behind the door, two large cupboards are on hand for a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer.
OWNER QUOTE: “I love cooking, it’s wonderful to have family over.”
Beyond the central island, there is ample space before the shuttered French doors for a large dining table, lending flexibility for both indoor and outdoor dining, depending on season and mood.
And so to bed…
Returning to the entrance hall, stairs lead up to the landing, where a splash of aqua blue dresses the wall ahead, and beams stretch out above.
On the right, step into the first of the bedrooms, a spacious double, where glorious views beckon from the daintily latched window, out over the garden and to the countryside beyond, while beams adorn the high ceiling above.
‘Barely There’ blush pink walls feature in both this bedroom and the neighbouring bedroom, another double which currently also serves as a home office.
Warmed by underfloor heating, the main bathroom features wash basin, WC and a bath with overhead shower.
Tucked to the left of the stairs, the master suite is a spacious and soporific retreat with sweeping views over the garden and countryside beyond. With ample space for a super-king bed and more, and set beneath characterful rustic beams overhead, a walk-in wardrobe provides practical storage, while the en suite features a wet room shower, twin wash basinsand rustic beams overhead for a touch of character.
English country garden
Beneath the blue Cheshire skies, the garden at No. 3, Parkside Barns stretches back to flourishing beech hedging, home to an abundance of wildlife and offering both privacy and shelter. In the far corner, a laburnum tree bursts into scented yellow blossom each May, chasing the heels of the early spring flowers. A raised vegetable patch produces a prolific glut of raspberries, spinach, lettuce and other wholesome delights throughout the growing season and could equally be used to grow cut flowers. In July, buddleia, one white, one mauve, draws the attention of butterflies and other pollinators.
This is a garden with a gentle country feel, where planting blends effortlessly into its surroundings. Rambling roses lace their way through the blackthorn and hawthorn hedgerows to either side, while hornbeam weaves discreetly above the back gate, nestled within the beech hedge.
OWNER QUOTE: “There’s something in the garden for each season, autumn is a delightful season whilst the rose beds are beautiful in summer.”
Just outside the kitchen, the paved patio, extended to allow ample space for seating and outdoor dining, provides the perfect vantage point to soak it all in. Along the back of the home, low-level garden storage conceals essentials, with the air source heat pump also neatly tucked away.
Private, peaceful and rich in seasonal colour, the garden feels like an extension of the Cheshire countryside itself.
Out and about
A paddock with a trodden pathway leads along the edge of the garages on the courtyard, passing over a stile and along the edges of the fields, connecting to recognised footpaths for morning jaunts and dog friendly walks.
For a change of scene, Alderford Lake is just ten minutes away by car, a lively outdoor hub with wild swimming, paddleboarding, woodland shores, a café and farm shop and even seasonal events like Christmas markets and Santa’s Grotto. Beeston Castle is close too, offering history and panoramic views, while Cholmondeley Castle is a regular backdrop for concerts, Easter trails and summer plant fairs beside its lake.
Families are well served, with both state and independent schools in easy reach. Wrenbury, around five minutes away, has a well-regarded primary school, while The Grange at Hartford and King’s and Queen’s in Chester are accessible via school bus. Nurseries and preschools are close by too.
For shops and dining, Whitchurch (around seven minutes away) and Nantwich (20 minutes) both offer everything from independents to big-name supermarkets. Further afield, Chester is just 25 minutes for riverside strolls, boutique browsing and city-style dining. Or stay closer to home with a meal and a pint at The Cholmondeley Arms; a thriving country pub and former schoolhouse now known for its food, charm and B&B rooms.
From canal walks to tree-top play at BeWILDerwood, and from quiet paddocks to orchestral concerts on the lake, there’s always something to explore for all the family. Treetop adventures at Delamere Forest are also within easy reach.
Tucked among open fields yet within easy reach of life’s essentials, No. 3, Parkside Barns is a true countryside retreat.
