Wettenhall, Nantwich, CW5 6

Thoughtfully modernised and extended in recent years, the property brings together the charm of a former farmhouse with bright, spacious accommodation designed for modern family life.

Approached through a gated entrance along a private drive shared with one neighbouring home, the property occupies an established setting with generous gardens, an orchard and an enclosed oak-framed double garage.

At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, extended and fully refurbished in 2025. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors frame views across the gardens towards the orchard and open directly onto the terrace, creating a natural connection between the house and its surroundings.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with extensive fitted cabinetry, solid work surfaces and bespoke sliding cupboards that neatly conceal additional appliances. Integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler and drinks cooler, while a striking Bertazzoni range cooker provides a focal point. A breakfast bar offers an informal place to gather, alongside ample space for dining and a relaxed seating area benefiting from underfloor heating.

A generous utility and boot room provides further storage, access to the rear of the property and a separate WC. Adjoining the kitchen, a dual-aspect study offers a comfortable workspace.

A further large family room sits at the rear of the house, featuring a contemporary inset electric fire and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. This versatile room offers plenty of space for entertaining or everyday family use, with scope to create an additional terrace immediately outside.

For quieter evenings, the separate sitting room provides a welcoming retreat, with a wood-burning stove and built-in shelving adding warmth and character.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation. The principal suite enjoys a Juliet balcony, a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom with a separate shower. The three remaining bedrooms all benefit from lovely rural views and are served by a spacious family bathroom, which also connects directly to one bedroom to provide a Jack and Jill arrangement.

Gardens, Grounds & Outbuildings

The gardens and grounds are a defining feature of Holly Bank Farm, extending to approximately 0.72 acres and providing a peaceful, private setting.

The shared approach divides into the property’s own gravelled driveway, providing ample parking and access to the enclosed oak-framed double garage. Mature hedging encloses the mainly lawned gardens, creating generous space for children to play and attracting a variety of wildlife.

A path leads from the driveway to the terrace, where a circular paved seating area with a central firepit creates an inviting setting for outdoor dining and evening gatherings. Beyond the formal gardens, pathways wind through a wildflower meadow and orchard, adding a more natural character to the grounds. This area also offers potential for use as a small paddock.

The property benefits from direct access to the Reaseheath College estate. The current owner advises that Holly Bank Farm enjoys rights of access to the estate’s private gardens, lake and small zoo, together with dog-walking routes and a shortcut into Nantwich town centre. The owner also receives two complimentary tickets to the Nantwich Show each year.
