A two-minute drive or just a ten-minute walk from the picturesque and highly sought-after village of Audlem, ‘The Old Cowshed’ is a truly stunning barn conversion and is a rare gem. One of just four exclusive homes in a charming rural development, this immaculately presented residence is offered for sale with no onward chain and boasts a wealth of beautifully designed living space, a double garage with a spacious annex above, and an exquisite garden that spans one acre of landscaped beauty.

This lovely home combines timeless character with contemporary elegance, showcasing light-filled interiors, high-quality finishes, and a south-facing garden that bathes the property in natural sunlight throughout the day. Sympathetically renovated, the barn retains its rustic charm while offering all the conveniences of modern living. All windows and doors were replaced in 2019 and are double glazed throughout, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.

From the moment you step inside, the sense of warmth, space, and style is immediately apparent. The welcoming morning/breakfast room is bright and inviting, featuring French doors that open directly onto a small courtyard, perfect for morning coffee in the sunshine. Thoughtfully designed, this space also includes a convenient downstairs WC, a cloakroom, an understairs cupboard, and a staircase leading to the first floor.

The kitchen is a bold yet elegant space finished in a contemporary deep blue with luxurious quartz worktops and full height splash backs. It is equipped with a traditional Belfast sink, an electric dual fuel range cooker, integrated dishwasher and washing machine, and space for a fridge/freezer. The stable door to the rear enhances the property's rustic charm while providing practical access to the courtyard.

The ground floor living space continues into the stunning lounge, a wonderfully bright and airy room thanks to large French doors that open onto a sunny front patio. A characterful Clearview multi-fuel burning stove provides a cosy focal point, while the engineered oak flooring adds warmth and sophistication. The adjoining dining area is perfectly positioned to enjoy glorious views across the garden, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxed family meals.

A particular highlight of the ground floor is the dedicated study – a peaceful and practical space ideal for remote working or quiet reading. Thoughtfully designed with built-in storage cupboards, it provides an organised and efficient workspace without compromising on style. With views over the garden and a serene atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to focus or unwind.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is an enchanting retreat, complete with exposed beams, bespoke fitted wardrobes, and breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside. The en-suite bathroom is stylish and contemporary, featuring a mains-fed shower, WC, and wash hand basin. The three further bedrooms are all generous doubles, two of which include fitted wardrobes and traditional shutters, offering comfort, character, and flexibility for guests, children, or home working. The family bathroom is simply stunning, with a freestanding bath as the elegant centrepiece, accompanied by a WC and wash hand basin – the perfect sanctuary for relaxation.

Externally, this property continues to impress. The double garage offers excellent storage and parking, while the large annex/studio above provides endless potential – whether as a guest suite, home office, art studio, or gym, it’s a hugely versatile bonus.

The garden, however, is the true star of the show. Once just open farmland, it has been lovingly and meticulously transformed by the current owners into an enchanting, wildlife-friendly oasis. Mature planting includes a variety of 30-year-old trees such as Silver Birch and Copper Beech, creating a tranquil woodland area that is both beautiful and atmospheric. The orchard is a productive and picturesque delight, yielding apples, pears, plums, and cherries.

The grounds have been cleverly zoned to include a formal lawn, a sun-drenched patio for al fresco dining, a peaceful pond, and carefully chosen shrubbery designed to attract a wide array of birds and pollinators. Hazel and rose hedging frame the garden with seasonal colour and privacy, while a practical turning circle provides ease of access and ample parking. A delightful summer house is nestled within the garden, offering a serene spot to read, relax, or enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the surroundings.

Located in the charming village of Audlem, renowned for its vibrant community spirit, award-winning shops, scenic canal walks, and welcoming pubs and cafés, this extraordinary home offers an enviable lifestyle in a peaceful yet well-connected location.

This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a home of such character, quality, and beauty. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this unique property has to offer.
