Forty Acre Lane, Kermincham, Cheshire CW4

A beautifully positioned country home with wonderful gardens, well presented accommodation and open views.

Description
Rowley Lodge is an exceptionally charming country home set within approximately two acres of beautifully established grounds in the heart of rural Kermincham. Set discreetly behind a traditional brick wall and mature trees, the house enjoys excellent privacy and an inviting sense of arrival.

Originally two cottages thoughtfully combined in the 1950s, the property today offers spacious, characterful accommodation, lovingly maintained by the current owners for the past 18 years. During their tenure they have cultivated a magnificent all year round garden, enhanced the interiors with high quality handmade fittings and preserved the property’s individual charm.

A spacious and welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone for the home with generous proportions and excellent flow. It leads directly into the main reception rooms, creating a natural and elegant transition through the ground floor.

The heart of the home is a bespoke solid wood kitchen crafted with integrated appliances and ample space for a Range cooker. Its warm tones and thoughtful layout create a homely, practical and beautifully crafted everyday living space with access to the side garden and pathway to the raised summer house.

The large sitting room is a standout feature, bright, atmospheric and centred around an impressive feature fireplace with log burner set into a handsome brick surround. French doors open onto the rear terrace and patio, offering effortless indoor to outdoor living and views across the gardens. Further ground floor rooms provide versatile space for a study and snug or formal dining depending on lifestyle requirements. There is also a fully fitted utility, WC and a link to the spacious hobby room/play room and garage.

The first floor hosts well proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying views across the mature gardens and open farmland. The family bathroom has been expertly fitted by an independent bathroom company, complete with a separate bath and shower for added comfort. The principal bedroom has the benefit of an en suite with underfloor heating.

Throughout, timber windows, exposed brick and charming architectural details celebrate the property’s heritage.

The gardens are truly exceptional. Spread across approximately two acres, they offer colour, structure and interest in every season, testament to nearly two decades of dedicated care.

Sweeping lawns, richly planted borders, blossom trees and a series of peaceful seating areas create a serene and immersive landscape to enjoy year round. A particularly special feature is the rear boundary wall that backs onto the deer park, providing a unique and enchanting backdrop.

Additional outbuildings including a garage and workshop and a summer house offer further storage and practical flexibility.
Located along the quiet and picturesque Forty Acre Lane, Rowley Lodge is surrounded by open countryside yet well connected to nearby villages and market towns. The area is renowned for its scenic walks, traditional pubs, open farmland and strong community feel.

The wider area is dotted with traditional Cheshire farms, historic estates and pretty woodland walks, offering excellent opportunities for riding, cycling and outdoor pursuits. Nearby Swettenham and the surrounding hamlets also contribute to a strong rural community feel, with charming churches, country pubs and scenic footpaths weaving through the area’s gently undulating countryside.
