Property description

An exceptional detached farmhouse of considerable character, retaining many original features and located within walking distance of Lymm village. With attractive sandstone elevations to the oldest part of the property dating back to the 1500's the pretty cottage appearance belies a deceptively large farmhouse. Having been extended a number of times in its long history the current configuration of the property is ideal for family living with large reception space on the ground floor and well-proportioned bedrooms at first floor level. Externally the majority of the garden space is enclosed by an attractive brick wall providing privacy and security to the lawn as well as the courtyard garden.









Tanyard farm is a unique Grade II listed farm house located in one of Cheshire's most sought after areas. With the oldest section of the property dating back over 500 years the character and individuality of the original features are of significant appeal. Stone mullion windows, exposed original beams, an inglenook fireplace and original wattle and daub are but some of the period facets that the property enjoys.



Whilst there is road frontage the main access is via the courtyard through a porch that leads into the hallway. From the hallway to one side is the breakfast kitchen which opens up into the snug offering versatile space that could be easily used as a dining area. The dining room has ample space for a large dining table and enjoys the original inglenook fireplace and exposed beams to the ceiling. The sitting room has beautiful leaded windows along with period construction techniques being visible in the fabric of the building. The final section of the original part of the house is currently utilised as a study and has a locked of stairway leading to the first floor which could easily be recommissioned. The living room enjoys light from two sides with views over the courtyard garden to one side and direct access into the conservatory on the other. To the very rear of the property the sun lounge offer additional living accommodation and access to the garden along with a useful utility room or storage space.





At first floor level are two corridors connecting the bedrooms and bathrooms. Due to the generous proportions of the bedrooms all four bedrooms can take a double bed. The bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom and a shower room.



Externally there is off road parking and a car port accessed via a vehicular access into the walled garden. Around the property are several seating areas with laid patio with other areas laid to lawn. Within the enclosed curtilage is a brick built outbuilding housing a coal shed and WC which provides external storage.
