PROPERTY INFORMATION
Clonter Farmhouse is a charming and characterful listed property set within the picturesque Cheshire countryside, offering a rare opportunity to reside in a historic home of architectural and cultural significance. Nestled in a tranquil rural setting, the farmhouse combines period charm with the warmth and comfort of a well-loved country residence.

The property retains a wealth of original features, including exposed timber beams, traditional brickwork and feature fireplaces all of which reflect its rich heritage. The accommodation is generously proportioned providing versatile living spaces suited to both family life and entertaining.

Clonter Farmhouse enjoys a peaceful position surrounded by open countryside, with delightful views across rolling farmland. Mature gardens and grounds enhance the sense of privacy and seclusion, while offering ample outdoor space for relaxation and recreation.

A cosy sitting room and separate drawing room provide a tranquil place for the family to relax, while the modern kitchen offers plenty of room for cooking, complimented by the adjoining dining room.
A particularly impressive feature of the property is the substantial orangery, thoughtfully designed to complement the character and scale of the main farmhouse. This elegant addition provides a superb transitional space between the principal living accommodation and the gardens beyond.

Useful ancillary rooms provide a utility room with practical storage, pantry and a study/playroom. This area provides direct access to the courtyard and the gardens. A handy cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are light, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged to suit family needs, complemented by several bathrooms. There is an additional second floor attic bedroom/study/den.

To the rear of the property, families will love the expansive lawned garden—an ideal space for children to play, outdoor dining, and enjoying long summer days. The property also benefits from a large garage, offering excellent additional storage for bikes, outdoor equipment, hobby gear, or seasonal items, giving the home even more practical appeal.

Positioned in an enviable semi-rural location near the village of Swettenham and the charming hamlet of Somerford, the property lies just a short drive from the thriving market town of Congleton, which offers a range of independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants and leisure facilities. The historic town of Knutsford, renowned for its boutiques and dining establishments, is also within easy reach, as is Macclesfield with its mainline railway station providing direct services to Manchester and London.

The surrounding area is particularly well regarded for its scenic beauty and outdoor pursuits. The Peak District National Park lies a short distance to the east, offering extensive walking, cycling and riding opportunities. Jodrell Bank Observatory, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is nearby, while Tatton Park and Capesthorne Hall are within easy reach.

The property enjoys excellent connectivity despite its tranquil setting. Manchester Airport is readily accessible, making national and international travel convenient, while major road networks including the A34 and M6 provide straightforward access to Manchester, Chester and the wider North West.

Clonter Farmhouse offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience—a wonderful opportunity for families seeking space, comfort, and a beautiful place to call home.

The property has just been fully decorated and recarpeted and is available unfurnished. It benefits from oil fired central heating, mains electricity, water and septic tank drainage.
