3 bed property for sale

Reades Lane, Congleton CW12

***new instruction***

Set discreetly beyond a private road that serves only the residence and the adjoining farm, this distinguished detached stone former farmhouse, believed to date back to the early 1800s, commands a truly exceptional position, sat within beautifully established grounds, enjoying far-reaching, uninterrupted views towards the iconic Congleton Edge. The approach alone sets the tone, secluded, refined and entirely removed from the public eye, offering a sense of arrival befitting a home of this calibre.

Rich in period charm, architectural character and historic presence, the farmhouse retains the essence of its heritage whilst offering generous and versatile accommodation suited to modern country living. The ground floor hosts three elegant reception rooms, each providing its own distinctive atmosphere for entertaining, relaxation or formal living, complemented by a spacious open-plan dining kitchen that forms the heart of the home. An additional conservatory expands the footprint of the property, drawing natural light deep into the interior and creating a seamless connection between the house and the wrap around gardens.

To the first floor, the home continues to impress with three refined bedrooms, all enjoying open and unspoilt outlooks across the surrounding Cheshire landscape, served by a family bathroom. The layout offers outstanding scope for extension and further enhancement, subject to the necessary planning permissions providing a rare opportunity to create a significantly larger, bespoke country residence whilst retaining the historic integrity and charm of the original farmhouse.

Externally, the wraparound gardens are nothing short of sublime, with just the eyes of the neighbouring cattle upon you. The established open lawns, and paved patio areas present multiple vantage points from which to admire the rolling Cheshire countryside and beyond. The setting offers a rare sense of exclusivity and tranquillity, yet with the confidence of long term value underpinned by its premium positioning.

Despite its rural feel, the property enjoys a highly strategic Cheshire location on Reades Lane, Congleton, affording swift access to Congleton town centre and neighbouring towns including Leek, Macclesfield and the village of Rushton Spencer as well as Railway travel which is just 1.2 miles away . This property presents a unique and rare balance of seclusion with connectivity that elevates the home into a truly aspirational lifestyle offering.

In summary, this is not simply a house, but a residence of stature, privacy and distinction, offering heritage, land, views and future potential in one exceptional location. Homes of this calibre within such a commanding position, are rarely brought to market.

The Mains Water Supply

The mains water supply to the property serves both Shawbrook Edge House and the farm buildings at Hineswood Farm. The Vendors have installed a sub-meter and will charge the Purchaser for water on a 6 monthly basis for all water consumed and, if required, will provide the Purchaser with copies of the invoice showing the charge per cubic metre of water.

However, the Vendors will in the Conveyance grant the Purchaser an Easement across land adjoining Shawbrook Edge to the point of the existing United Utilities water meter to enable the Purchaser to install their own independent mains water supply and to apply to United Utilities Water for an additional separate water connection and water meter. If the Purchaser undertakes this work, then upon completion of the new water main connection to the property, the sub-meter will be removed and this connection to the property capped off.
