Property description
An opportunity to acquire a stunning country property with a generous attached cottage which has undergone extensive work both internally and externally and is set within glorious gardens and grounds.
The property, formerly part of the old North Rode Estate, which is notably listed in the doomsday book can be accessed from one of two gated entrances with private driveways which swoop through parkland before entering the drive to The Old Coach House. Upon approaching the property ones attention will be taken by the superb vernacular and the glorious cobbled courtyard set against exposed brick and rendered elevations.
The Old Coach House
Internally the accommodation is fluid and welcoming, the hall is entered via large Oak door and gives way to the drawing room to the right and the kitchen to the left. There are three principal reception rooms on offer, a fabulous drawing room with library, large opulent dining room and snug/family room which is the ideal venue to relax on a day to day basis. The well appointed bespoke kitchen with conservatory off is the undoubted heart of the property and links perfectly to the snug/family room. For those looking to work from home the study is fitted with a splendid range of fitted office furniture and there is also a separate office which if not needed could become bedroom six or playroom. There are five bedrooms, three bathrooms/shower rooms, to The Old Coach House and all the bedrooms have an appealing aspect.
Gardens and Grounds
Externally the gardens are simply stunning. The care and attention to detail which echoes throughout the entire property are second to none and is ever apparent in the gardens. Dry stone walls flank large lawned areas with fabulous beds, a gorgeous water feature flows into a pond and there are three seating areas, one beneath a large pergola and the other set as a South African braai all offering the ideal venue to dine al fresco. For the sporty amongst us there is a tennis court with pergola. The gardens are edged by open farm land to the side and wood land to the rear.
There are a range of outbuildings and stores, a work shop with office above, large mower shed, green house, an open two bay oak framed garage with attached store room.
Stable Cottage
Stable cottage is attached to the Old Coach House and offers the ideal \"annexed accommodation\" or the potential to integrate into the main house if so required. The accommodation is deceptively spacious with a large sitting room with generous mezzanine, a well proportioned dining room, long kitchen leading to a conservatory, utility room with additional store rooms off to the ground floor. To the second floor there is master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, second bedroom and a large bathroom.
Gardens
Stable Cottage has a pretty lawned garden abutting the tennis courts and over looks the fields and wood beyond.
Location
The Coach House and Stables sits within the glorious parkland which was formerly part of the North Rode Manor estate. The village of North Rode is simply stunning being one of Cheshire's hidden gems surrounded by picturesque countryside offering superb walks. Although the village is set away from main roads its convenience to many local centres is ideal, located between Congleton and Macclesfield within easy reach of Alderley Edge and Wilmslow. Every day shopping can be done in both Macclesfield and Congleton whilst communications are good with a regular rail service from Macclesfield to London and the airport is approximately twenty five minutes by car.
