Description
Discreetly positioned behind established hedging, walls and natural borders, the property occupies a secluded enclave within the wider estate, surrounded by open countryside and uninterrupted rural views. The sense of privacy, space and quiet is immediate and, increasingly rare.
Originally forming part of the Wicksted Hall estate, the cottages were converted from four Victorian staff dwellings into two semi-detached homes, now extending to approximately 2,738 sq ft of accommodation. Each provides three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and reception rooms, retaining period proportions and character.
While the cottages offer established accommodation, it is the future potential that defines this property.
Subject to the necessary consents, there is clear scope to reconfigure or combine the cottages into a single, substantial country residence, or retain both dwellings to create a multi-generational living arrangement, guest accommodation or income-producing asset within a private estate setting.
A significant collection of original outbuildings, extending to approximately 2,700 sq ft, further enhances the opportunity. These include the original Victorian stables and coach house, a detached brick barn, garaging and wriggly tin Dutch barn, providing immediate infrastructure for equestrian use, storage, or conversion into ancillary accommodation, leisure or further residential space.
The land itself is both functional and beautifully arranged. The 5.9 acres of established paddocks and grounds are enclosed, well-maintained and currently used for grazing, offering a ready-made foundation for equestrian pursuits. The configuration allows for the creation of a fully self-contained equestrian holding, with horses kept securely within the grounds.
For the discerning buyer, this is a property defined not simply by what it is, but by what it can become.
For buyers with vision, this is where the opportunity becomes compelling. The scale of the land, the presence of outbuildings, and the setting within the wider Wicksted Hall estate create the perfect conditions to deliver a truly bespoke lifestyle property with exceptional equestrian factilities whether that be a luxury rural home, an equestrian estate, or a private countryside retreat.
This is not simply a purchase, it is a chance to create something exceptional, combining privacy, land, lifestyle, and long-term value in one of Cheshire’s most desirable rural locations.
