Details



Bate House is understood to have been originally constructed in the 1700's, with latter and sympathetic extensions which now presents well balanced accommodation with a substantial detached brick outbuilding with loft room over. It is situated at the end of its own long private driveway and surrounded by formal gardens and paddock land of approximately 2.5 acres which adjoins open countryside with distant views in almost every direction.
Whilst presented in generally good order the property would benefit from a further scheme of modernisation which perhaps could include further extensions or redevelopment/remodelling, subject to planning permission. For those with equine interests the surrounding paddock land would be ideal with its easy access complete with two loose boxes.
Location
Aston by Budworth is a rural hamlet located between Tabley
and the village of Great Budworth. The village of Great
Budworth with its historic sandstone church, picturesque
cottages and narrow cobbled streets has long been regarded
as one of the most attractive and desirable of Cheshire's rural
villages and is designated as a conservation area.The village is
steeped in history dating back to Norman times and is close
to the stately home of Arley Hall, the estate of which the
village was once part.
The rural location is by no means isolated and a nearby
primary school and private schools in Great Budworth lie
close by along with further educational facilities in Knutsford
and Altrincham town centre. For the equestrian enthusiast, excellent schools and stabling facilities are close by. Sandiway, Antrobus and Heyrose are just a handful of the golf courses
nearby. Leisure centres can be located in the surrounding
towns. Swimming facilities are also met at nearby town
centres of Knutsford, Northwich, Altrincham and Manchester
City Centre is also within easy reach. The North West
motorway network is also easily accessed, as is Manchester
International Airport.
