"The Old School House", School Lane, Marbury, Whitchurch

Agents Remarks

As the name suggests, this charming Victorian period house was originally the Headmaster's House which was attached to the school classrooms and converted into 2 cottages many years ago to a sympathetic standard. Great care was taken to retain its original character and some features. Situated within the picturesque south Cheshire village of Marbury, with it's charming Church overlooking the mere, is a lovely rural village with a vibrant community and also benefits from the recently refurbished, award winning gastro pub The Swan. It is also well positioned for commuting in any direction with both Chester and Shrewsbury in easy travelling distance.

Nearby Nantwich is a charming and historic market town in South Cheshire countryside providing a wealth of period buildings, independent boutique shops, cafes, bars and restaurants with highly regarded Junior and Senior schooling, sporting and leisure pursuits and nearby to the M6 Motorway at Junction 16 and Crewe mainline...
