Hidden in the rural hamlet of Davenport in an idyllic setting, stands Swallow Barn; a substantial, imposing and extremely well presented five bedroom residence with the potential for equestrian facilities. The house itself extends to approximately 4,300 Sq Ft. standing within a generous plot of approximately 1.6 acres which includes its own paddock. This is a unique and rare opportunity to acquire an extensive beautifully finished family home. The present owners have meticulously taken this barn through a program of redevelopment and modernisation and as a result improved the property to the highest of standards. This property provides the ideal contrast of original features such as the original vaulted beamed ceilings, and feature exposed brickwork, with the essential mod cons such as central heating and double glazing consummated by the high specification finish of stylish and sympathetic fixtures, fittings and decor. Whilst the exterior of the property in itself could lead you to believe the property was modest in size, on closer inspection you will see in reality the property is in fact very spacious. The accommodation briefly comprises of a stunning entrance hall, cloakroom/WC, coat room, study, extensive lounge with feature Inglenook fireplace, French door access out on to the garden, formal dining room, family room, utility room, a superbly proportioned and elegantly appointed kitchen breakfast room with an extensive range of units, and a conservatory from which French doors provide access to the patio overlooking the garden, paddock and countryside beyond. To the first floor there is a master bedroom with en-suite and four further bedrooms benefiting from two 'Jack & Jill' en-suites. Swallow Barn sits on an exclusive courtyard setting offering a separate double garage and home office. The rural location means the plot enjoys beautiful un-spoilt countryside views which can be appreciated from the generous rear garden. Although hidden away from the hustle and bustle Swallow Barn is on the doorstep of Brereton Heath Country Park, equidistant to Congleton, Holmes Chapel and Sandbach for those immediate essentials and for commuters is only 1.5 miles from Holmes Chapel train station and within easy reach of the motorway network. Nestled at the end of a private road, a property of this standard and size is hard to come across.
