The property is accessed from a very pretty residential lane that serves a
handful of similar period properties, where a gated entrance opens onto a wide
gravel driveway with a timber frame garage at its rear.
A beautiful hand carved oak door with ornate cast - iron hinges and door
furniture opens into a dining hallway with a hand carved oak staircase and an
abundance of exposed structural timbers and ceiling beams. Adjoining the
dining hall is a generous cloakroom store.
The principal reception room is a spacious living room with front facing
windows and large sliding patio doors which open out onto the beautifully
manicured gardens. There is a central fireplace with a stone hearth as well an
abundance of original beams and exposed oak structural framework that are a
feature throughout the house.
The farmhouse style kitchen is fitted with a matching range of oak fronted
cabinets with contrasting worktops and integrated appliances including a gas
hob and separate built - in double oven. There is a fireplace which currently
houses the floor mounted central heating boiler. There is an internal window
that was apparently reclaimed from the local pub during refurbishment and acts
as a serving hatch to the dining room and provides additional natural light
into the heart of the house. Off the kitchen there is a rear hall with a rear
facing entrance door and a walk - in ladder store cupboard as well as a
downstairs bathroom fitted with a matching three - piece suite.
On the first - floor level there are four bedrooms including a lovely master
bedroom suite with dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens enjoying
elevated views of Budworth Lake.
The three remaining bedrooms include two doubles and a generous size single
bedroom, all sharing the use of a modern bathroom located off the landing
fitted with a period style suite.
The property sits in an incredibly large plot which extends to approximately
1. 25 acres in all including attractive large lawns, well stocked herbaceous
beds and shrub borders. The North & West boundaries are enclosed by a number
of mature trees including a small area of woodland that runs down the bank to
the road and creates natural screening without interrupting the magnificent
far - reaching views. To the far end of the garden there is a small orchard
beyond which the property backs directly onto rolling open farmland.
Great Budworth is a most attractive historic village located 4 miles to the
north of Northwich and around 7 miles to the East of Knutsford.
The village is considered by many to be the most picturesque in Cheshire due
to the large number of beautiful period and part timbered properties that
align the partly cobbled pavements. For centuries the village was under the
ownership of the Arley Hall Estate, and in 1850 Rowland Egerton Warburton of
Arley Hall paid for the restoration and improvement to the church, pub and
many of its properties to render it picturesque to the Victorian eye. In
addition to the popular George & Dragon pub located on the high street, the
Cock of Budworth lies to the edge of the village and has also recently
undergone a scheme of refurbishment. The village primary school is located
adjacent to St Marys Church. The excellent Cransley Independent School is also
located nearby.
