Location
Foxbank Farm has provided the current owners with a family home full of character, ample space to enjoy and entertain. More broadly, the farm has provided the opportunity to manage and improve a important part of the landscape in the foothills of the Peak District. By blending agriculture and conservation the owners have substantially improved the ecological value of the farm, now blending a habitat for Britain’s flora and fauna alongside food production.
Foxbank Farm could, alongside this, enable a new owner to develop a more extensive principle home (such as by converting the stone buildings to additional accommodation or hosting spaces, subject to the necessary consents), pursue other rural interests, whilst enjoying living in a peaceful corner of Cheshire.
Set in the foothills of the Peak National Park and yet perfectly placed nearby to the market town of Macclesfield. The town is on the main West Coast line, with London Euston from 1 hr 47 mins and Manchester Piccadilly from 23 minutes.
In addition, Manchester Airport sits just 16 miles to the north. The area is popular for outdoor pursuits with golf courses, livery, cycling routes and lovely scenic walks. The farm also sits just below The Ryles Arms pub, providing traditional local hospitality within easy reach.
The market town of Macclesfield has all the main supermarkets, specialist shops and the amenities one would expect of a town of this size, excellent schools including Kings School Macclesfield (6 miles) and Beech Hall preparatory school (5 miles), with Terra Nova, Alderley Edge School for Girls and The Ryleys School within easy reach. Many of the principal private schools of south Manchester provide coach access from the town.
