Newlands, Aldersey Park, Tattenhall, CH3 9ED

Majestic views toward the Welsh hills, a stately past and gardens that open wide to the surrounding countryside set the scene at Newlands - a spacious, balanced home offering the rare opportunity to reimagine, reconfigure and extend to suit modern life.

Standing within generous gardens on the historic site of Aldersey Hall, one of an exclusive collection of just nine homes tucked away at the end of a long drive, Newlands is a home defined as much by its scenic country outlook and setting as by its clear potential to evolve into a home that fully reflects its position and scale.

Embrace country living

The seclusion and tranquillity of the setting become apparent instantly upon arrival, where the sounds of nature prevail. Parking is comfortable to the front, both along the driveway and within the double garage.

Quarry tiled underfoot, the large portico provides shelter before stepping through into the entrance hallway where the parquet flooring and mid-century staircase reveal the home’s 1960s heritage[SI1] .

Inside, the scope to rework and refresh is instantly apparent in the broad and bright entrance hall. To the left, the downstairs WC is tiled underfoot, whilst carpet flows out in the lounge to the right, where large windows to the front, rear and side flood the space with light

Spacious and inviting, with constant views out to the surrounding garden, the stone fireplace with open fire offers potential for a modern log-burning stove, while the layout also lends itself to the introduction of garden doors, subject to the necessary consents, bringing the outdoors ever closer.

Ahead from the entrance, the parquet flooring flows through into the spacious dining room, where patio doors already invite the light and views indoors. With plenty of space for a large dining table, in summertime open the doors and dine al fresco on the terrace.

Leading off from the dining room, the kitchen is positioned to enjoy garden views through a wide window and is fully functional in its current form, with a large utility room beyond connecting through to the double garage. Looking ahead, this area of Newlands offers the greatest and most exciting potential for change, with the opportunity to open up and extend to create a large, contemporary kitchen and family space connected more directly to the garden.

The view from above

Upstairs from the entrance hall, the relationship between Newlands and its setting bursts into clarity, with breathtaking views out onto the Sandstone Ridge dividing Cheshire into two, visible from the landing

To the right, the first of the double bedrooms offers built-in storage, while large windows looking out toward the Bickerton hills. True to its original design, the layout of Newlands remains intact, while neighbouring homes on the development offer a quiet precedent for how the dormer space has, in some cases, been subtly adapted to create en suites.

OWNER QUOTE: “If you love the serenity of the countryside, it’s a fantastic place to live.”

Moving across the landing, at the front of the home lies another large double bedroom, filled with light and providing verdant views out over the garden which envelops the home.

Continue along the landing to reach a third spacious double bedroom, light and bright with far reaching views out over the garden to the fields beyond.

Next door, the family bathroom is spacious and light, furnished with wash basin, WC and bath with shower.

Finally, in the master bedroom wake up to far reaching views out over the garden and farmers’ fields, clouded in mist or on a clear day, revealing the outline of Peckforton and the Bickerton Hills, while in the other direction look out toward the Welsh fells.

Garden delights

Outside, the garden at Newlands is the perfect companion to the house, wrapping around it on all sides and opening out to a wide, rural horizon beyond with far-reaching views that turn with the light and the seasons.

Gravelled borders and a greenhouse to the side echo the years of cultivating the garden has seen, tended by its most recent custodians – keen gardeners – over four decades.

To the rear, established beds create definition across the green of the large, level lawn. With space here for vegetable patches, deep borders, outdoor dining, relaxing and unwinding this beautifully maintained garden now awaits its next chapter: to be enjoyed as it is or reimagined to suit its next owners’ lifestyle, with space for family, pets and friends.

Out and about

With idyllic views surrounding Newlands, experience life in a landscape that invites you outdoors.

Surrounded by a rich network of paths and fields where dog walkers and amblers alike can roam freely, there are trails of all lengths from dusk strolls to longer countryside weekend rambles at your feet.

The village of Tattenhall is just a short distance away, offering everyday conveniences including a welcoming pub, an Indian restaurant, a village hall with its calendar of community life, alongside other essential services including a doctors’ surgery, health centre and pharmacy.

Families are ideally placed close to the well-regarded Bishop Heber High School in nearby Malpas, alongside a cluster of educational options within easy reach — including the independent King’s School and Queen’s School in historic Chester.

For those who enjoy golf, a course close by provides another way to take in the surrounding countryside.

Commute with convenience; travel beyond the immediate area is straightforward with Crewe station a short drive away for direct rail connections, while by road you can be in Liverpool in around 40 minutes and Manchester in roughly 50 minutes, ensuring rural calm is compatible with access to city life.

OWNER QUOTE: “There’s a real sense of community here. It’s really a place you never want to leave, and you can feel the sense of a new generation beginning.”

At Newlands, community and countryside combine comfortably. With its open outlook, mature garden brimming with potential and proximity to village life, the home offers the space, position and freedom to be reworked into a home that grows and evolves alongside its next owners.
