Beyond the kitchen, the practical needs of a working country home have been thoughtfully considered. A generous utility room, boot room, and boiler room serve the household with ease, with a commercial-grade Worcester boiler installed in 2022 ensuring efficient heating throughout.
The first floor is divided into two principal wings, each offering beautifully proportioned bedrooms, period detailing, and contemporary bathroom fittings. The master suite is a serene and sophisticated retreat, with fitted wardrobes, a triple aspect outlook over the gardens and surrounding countryside, and a luxurious en-suite complete with a freestanding roll-top bath and double vanity.
In total, the property offers six generous bedrooms, three of which benefit from private en-suites. The principal bathroom continues the theme of indulgence, with original pine flooring, a statement roll-top bath, and exposed brick and beam features that speak to the building’s heritage.
An additional attic room on the second floor provides further potential for a home office, playroom, or guest bedroom, with far-reaching views from its elevated position.
Outside, the estate continues to impress. The gardens have been carefully landscaped to offer seasonal interest, mature trees, and sheltered terraces for outdoor dining and entertaining. An all-weather, professionally lit tennis court sits discreetly to the rear, bordered by hedging and fencing.
To the front, the paddocks, fully enclosed with fencing and netting provide excellent grazing or equestrian potential, with an option to purchase an additional 3.5 acres if required.
The two substantial barns are arranged around a central courtyard and offer immense flexibility. Constructed in traditional Cheshire brick beneath Staffordshire blue tiled roofs, the barns have been structurally appraised and could serve a variety of uses, from car storage and workshops to ancillary accommodation or multi-generational living, subject to necessary consents.
This historic residence enjoys a quiet rural position within the hamlet of Hunsterson, a short drive from the charming village of Audlem and just four miles from the market town of Nantwich. The area offers an abundance of country walks, cycle routes, and bridleways, while also being well connected to major road and rail networks — with the M6 motorway, Crewe mainline station, and Manchester and Liverpool airports all within easy reach.
Families are well served by excellent local schooling, including Bridgemere Primary and the highly regarded Brine Leas Academy. A school bus service runs to independent schools such as Ellesmere College and Newcastle-under-Lyme School, making this an ideal base for family life.
