Situated off Mow Lane on the ascent towards Mow Cop, the majority of the land sits elevated above the road, where mature natural screening and the gentle rise of the hillside provide both privacy and an outstanding 180-degree panorama across the Cheshire Plain. The setting is peaceful and rural, yet remarkably convenient, lying just minutes from Congleton town centre and the train station, making it ideal for those seeking a balance between countryside retreat and accessibility.

The land is contained within a single, well-configured parcel and has been thoughtfully arranged with newly installed timber post-and-rail fencing and quality metal gates. The paddocks are neatly delineated to allow for effective rotational grazing, pasture rest and controlled turnout, essential for maintaining grass quality and supporting horses prone to laminitis. A fresh water supply feeds directly into the fields, ensuring practical day-to-day management, while the gentle gradient of the pasture aids natural drainage and year-round usability.

Access is gained through a secure gated entry-reception compound, designed to provide a safe and practical space for vehicle parking, trailer manoeuvring and the loading and unloading of horses away from the main operational areas. From here, a privacy-panelled gate leads into an extensive inner operational compound, again fully enclosed with new fencing and gated access to the land, creating a well-organised and secure environment suitable for private or small-scale professional use.

There are two distinct stable areas on site. Three temporary (no current pp) timber stables, included in the sale, are positioned on an earth base, while five superior bespoke stables by Tailored Equine ( )stand on a high-quality concrete foundation and benefit from planning approval, offering durable, professional-grade accommodation. The infrastructure is further supported by a mains water feed, a WC with septic tank and a separate quality storage container available by separate negotiation.

The site could be further enhanced with the implementation of solar off grid lighting systems where multiple solutions exist. You could also install a generator subject to any permissions.

The arena is enclosed by fresh fencing and provides a private schooling environment, while the adjoining operational compound extends away, adjacent to the road offering further scope, subject to the necessary planning permissions, for additional structures or the creation of a well-drained non-grazing turnout area. Such provision is invaluable during wet weather to protect pasture and manage horses requiring restricted grazing.

The property enjoys proximity to a range of reputable equestrian and agricultural suppliers including Pedleys Pony to Paddock, Life at a Gallop, Chelford Farm Supplies and Hope Valley Saddlery, ensuring that feed, bedding and equipment are all within easy reach.

This is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a fully prepared equestrian holding in one of Cheshire’s most attractive rural settings. Combining privacy, practicality, quality infrastructure and spectacular views, the property offers an exceptional environment in which to keep and enjoy horses on your own beautiful and manageable slice of the Cheshire countryside.
