Description

A Remarkable Former Mill Occupying One of Cheshire's Most Idyllic Countryside SettingsNestled within the breathtaking Dane Valley on the edge of the Peak District National Park, Bearda Mill is an exceptional former mill, sympathetically converted to create a truly individual country residence of immense character and charm. Occupying an enchanting riverside setting, where the River Dane meanders alongside the property and the original mill race remains a defining feature, this unique home offers an increasingly rare opportunity to live in a piece of Cheshire's industrial heritage, beautifully adapted for modern family living.Approached via impressive wrought iron entrance gates, a sweeping cobbled driveway crosses the historic culvert before arriving at the property, immediately setting the tone for what lies beyond. Surrounded by mature gardens, natural stone walls, woodland and open countryside, the setting is nothing short of magical, offering complete tranquillity whilst remaining conveniently accessible to Macclesfield, Congleton, Leek and the surrounding Peak District.The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged over three levels and retains an abundance of original architectural features, including exposed oak beams, substantial timber purlins, natural stone flooring, exposed brickwork, period fireplaces and bespoke joinery, all combining to create a home rich in warmth and authenticity.The welcoming reception hall leads to a cloakroom/WC, useful utility room and generous walk-in pantry before opening into the magnificent farmhouse-style dining kitchen. This wonderful space forms the heart of the home, fitted with handcrafted pine cabinetry, Belfast sink, integrated appliances, a traditional cast iron range and ample room for family dining beneath exposed timbers.Beyond lies the beautifully proportioned principal lounge, an elegant reception room enjoying exposed floorboards, feature cast iron fireplace, extensive glazing and attractive views across the surrounding grounds, creating a wonderfully inviting space in which to relax.The first floor continues to impress with a striking galleried landing showcasing the property's original timber frame. The superb principal bedroom enjoys dual aspects, extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a sunken bath, separate shower and French doors opening onto a private roof terrace, offering delightful elevated views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.A further substantial reception room on this floor provides exceptional flexibility and could equally serve as an additional bedroom, family room or guest suite. Completing this level are a further double bedroom and a beautifully appointed family bathroom.A spiral staircase rises to the converted roof space, providing an additional bedroom together with a separate office, studio or hobbies room, both retaining exposed timbers and offering versatile accommodation suited to modern home working or guest accommodation.Externally, the property is every bit as impressive. The sweeping cobbled driveway provides extensive parking and leads to a substantial detached stone-built double garage with electrically operated doors, adjoining workshop and open-fronted log store.The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to complement the property's unique setting, with extensive stone terraces providing numerous seating areas overlooking the mill race, River Dane and surrounding landscape. Tiered lawns, drystone walls, mature planting and a delightful secret garden create a series of peaceful outdoor spaces, whilst to the rear the original mill water wheel remains as a fascinating reminder of the building's rich industrial past.Bearda Mill occupies one of the most picturesque settings within the Dane Valley, surrounded by spectacular walking, cycling and riding countryside including nearby Macclesfield Forest, The Roaches, Bosley Cloud and Tittesworth Reservoir. Despite its wonderfully secluded position, excellent road links place Macclesfield, Congleton, Leek and commuter routes towards Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent within comfortable reach.Rarely does a property combine such architectural significance, historical character, breathtaking natural surroundings and versatile family accommodation. Bearda Mill represents an exceptional opportunity to rent one of the area's most distinctive and memorable country homes.
