**Broomy Croft, Davenport. An Exceptional Detached Character Residence with just under Five Acres**

Discreetly positioned and set away from the road, Broomy Croft is a detached character property occupying an enviable rural position within the sought-after village of Davenport. Approached via a sweeping private driveway and introduced by formal, established gardens, the property immediately conveys a sense of arrival together with just under five acres of lawned gardens and land.

Broomy Croft offers far more than a traditional country house setting. It presents a genuine lifestyle opportunity, equally suited to family living, equestrian interests, or those seeking space, privacy, and long-term adaptability, all without sacrificing accessibility.

The accommodation is generous yet well placed offering versatility, arranged to offer both formal reception space and practical everyday living. With five bedrooms, three reception rooms, and three bathrooms, the house accommodates modern family requirements while retaining a traditional, grounded feel.

At its heart sits a traditional-style kitchen, fitted with bespoke units and centred around a Rayburn cooker, creating a space that is both functional and atmospheric complete with a walk-in pantry store. This is a kitchen designed for real use, boots by the door, dogs under the table, and long conversations that outlast the cooking.

Adjoining the kitchen is a boot room and separate utility, reinforcing the home’s suitability for rural life. An open vestibule leads through to the formal dining room, offering an elegant setting for entertaining, while a separate study provides a quieter retreat for work or reading. The formal lounge completes the reception accommodation, offering a welcoming and characterful space for relaxation.

Annexe Potential and Future Flexibility.
To the western side of the property, the layout naturally lends itself to independent or semi-independent living. The combination of a study, ground-floor bathroom, and self-contained bedroom creates excellent potential for an annexe, guest accommodation, or dependent relative living, without compromising the integrity of the main house.

Further opportunity is provided by the cellar, offering additional scope for storage or as a wine cellar.

Gardens, Land and Equestrian Appeal.
The formal gardens surrounding the house are well-established and thoughtfully arranged, providing structure, privacy, and seasonal interest. Beyond this, the property opens out into approximately 4.38 acres of good quality adjoining land, delivering both visual openness and practical utility.

For equestrian buyers, the offering is particularly compelling. There is clear potential for stables or conversion of the garage, (subject to planning), supported by the property’s close proximity to Somerford Park Farm Equestrian centre and Crossmere Livery, both of which are within easy reach. The land also lends itself to smallholding, leisure use, or simply preserving the sense of space that defines the setting.

A sweeping driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a double detached garage, completing the external accommodation.

Location and Connectivity.
Despite its rural positioning, Broomy Croft remains exceptionally well connected. The property lies close to Brereton Heath Country Park, offering accessible green space and recreational opportunities. The M6 motorway is readily accessible, making travel across the Northwest straightforward.

The neighbouring towns of Congleton, Holmes Chapel, Knutsford, Sandbach, Wilmslow & Alderley Edge provide a wide range of amenities, schooling options, and rail services, while Manchester Airport is within comfortable commuting distance ensuring that national and international travel remains entirely practical.

Having been cherished by the same ownership for over 30 years, this is a home that has evolved with care and quality. Its long tenure is a powerful seal of approval in itself, reflecting both the quality of the setting and the enduring appeal of the house which offers much potential for the discerning buyer.

In summary Broomy Croft is a home that delivers scale without pretence, character without compromise, and flexibility without dilution. It is a property shaped by time rather than trend, with scope for improvement and great potential in equal measures.

A rare opportunity to acquire a country residence of this calibre, within a truly desirable Cheshire location, offered to the market as a reluctant sale with no upward chain.
