Pump Lane, Churton, CH3

Set within the picturesque Cheshire village of Churton, The Old Stables is a beautifully converted character home forming part of an attractive former stable courtyard dating back to 1864. Surrounded by open countryside yet just 10 to 15 minutes from Chester, the property offers the perfect balance of rural charm and everyday convenience, with Farndon, Holt and local village amenities all close by.

The approach is through a characterful communal courtyard, where the property benefits from two garages and two additional off-road parking spaces. From here, a pathway leads to the home’s secure enclosed garden, creating a welcoming and private entrance.

Inside, the accommodation is spacious, versatile and full of charm. The farmhouse-style dining kitchen provides an excellent everyday entrance, with painted timber cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, a double ceramic sink, integrated dishwasher, space for a range-style oven and attractive terracotta tiled flooring.

From the kitchen, the home opens into the standout living and dining room, extending to over 37 ft. This impressive space is the heart of the home, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, engineered timber flooring and a striking double-sided open fireplace. It is ideal for entertaining, while still feeling warm and inviting for family life. A fixed staircase leads to a useful mezzanine level, currently used as a playroom but equally suited as a guest bedroom, snug or home office.

Beyond the main living space, a generous inner hallway gives access to a practical boot room and utility space, which also works well as a study area. There are two ground floor bedrooms, including a comfortable double and a good-sized single, served by a traditional-style bathroom with slipper bath and separate shower.

To the first floor, there are two further bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed A-frame beams, feature lighting and lovely countryside views. The additional bedroom is currently used as an office and also enjoys an attractive rural outlook.

Externally, the property offers a secure enclosed garden along with a further garden area enjoying views across open farmland towards Farndon, providing a lovely setting for outdoor seating and evening entertaining.

The property has also been thoughtfully updated with solar panels, a 10kW battery and an air source heat pump, helping to improve efficiency and reduce running costs.

A rare and highly individual home in a sought-after village setting, The Old Stables combines character, space, practicality and countryside charm within easy reach of Chester.
