At the front, a neat lawn and mature maple tree set a peaceful, residential tone, but step out to the rear and the scene transforms. Gently sloping down from the home, the captivating garden unfolds in layers of beautifully planted borders and winding pathways, with lawns offering evergreen hues all fringed in colour and texture. Keen gardeners, the owners have landscaped and nurtured the garden over the years, extending the beds, planting trees for all-season colour and adding a Victorian style greenhouse and vegetable plot for home-grown produce. Beyond the lower lawn, half an acre of private land leads into a semi-wild woodland; a magical retreat for children, with a tree swing, fruit trees and even a fairy garden. Thousands of snowdrops, tulips, and bluebells burst into life in spring, followed by rhododendrons, roses and peonies through summer, chased up by fiery acers in autumn. A garden that changes with the light and the seasons, where kestrels and buzzards hover at eye level from the garden room, this is family living for all generations, from gathering apples for Christmas crumbles to sipping sundowners as the Cheshire plains are bathed in gold at the end of the day. OWNER QUOTE: “The garden is our happy place; we spend a lot of time here.” Out and about
