Waterloo Barn is a rare and remarkable home, steeped in history yet designed for modern life. Once part of the grand Alderley Park estate, then in the ownership of the Stanley family, the barn is said to have been the site of jubilant celebrations marking the victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Over two centuries later, it remains one of the few original estate buildings to survive, its intricate brickwork, exposed beams and stone roof now preserved as part of a sensitive conversion by the award-winning PJ Livesey Group.
Set at the heart of Alderley Park’s prestigious Historic Quarter, the barn forms part of a collection of heritage properties that have been transformed into unique homes within a landscape of mature parkland. Woodland, open grounds, and views of the estate’s tranquil lake provide an exceptional backdrop, blending the romance of history with the comforts of contemporary living.

Behind the characterful exterior, this three bedroom semi-detached home has been beautifully designed across two floors, balancing architectural authenticity with a clean, modern interior palette. Period features include exposed wooden beams, circular windows and deep-set window sills.
The property enters into a spacious and light filled entrance hallway, which creates a delightful first impression with stunning ceramic flooring which flows into the living areas. The ground floor features a generous open-plan living and dining space, centred around a recessed bespoke contemporary kitchen with grey gloss units and quartz work tops, with a comprehensive range of Neff appliances including oven, gas hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The kitchen is well appointed with a breakfast peninsula ideal for informal dining. The kitchen area, seamlessly connects with the living and dining areas, the living room is beautifully presented with a modern media wall containing a recess for a TV and a stunning electric fire. A study area leads off the living space and connects to the private south-facing garden. A well appointed powder room and cloakroom complete the ground floor arrangement.
