Description

Stilesmeadow House presents a rare opportunity to become part of the history of a unique 17th century farmhouse with land.

The Farmhouse is set within 3.5 acres, or thereabouts, of lush pasture and has all the character you would expect to find within a house of this era. Situated in the Cheshire village of Bosley, Stilesmeadow House has 3 neighbouring properties and has all the benefits of being in a rural setting without being isolated. The property is 10 mins. drive from the towns of Macclesfield, Congleton and Leek.

Although in need of refurbishment, the property has fabulous potential and is presently a comfortable family home, complete with oil fired central heating.

Part of Stilesmeadow House is of traditional oak framed construction and dates back to the 17th century. There are 3 formal reception rooms highlighted by the main sitting room, complete with splendid wall timbers and massive ceiling beams. The high ceiling and large windows allow the light to flood into this grand and very special room. Off the main sitting room is a small study and a south facing conservatory.

In addition to the reception rooms and also on the ground floor, there is a large kitchen with dining area, a pantry and WC.

Two separate staircases lead to the first floor accommodation where there are 4 good sized bedrooms, several store rooms and a family bathroom.

The building is grade 2 listed and also benefits from full Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent (Cheshire East Planning portal 14/4908M, 14/4909M), to extend and create a superb 5 bedroom house to include a separate annex, should the next owners require even more space.

Outside: Externally there are lawns, gardens and abundant parking and turning areas. The 3 acres of grazing land is gently undulating pasture and would be suitable for a variety of uses including equestrian and smallholding interests. A further 1.7 acres of land is available by separate negotiation. Alternatively, the house can be purchased at a reduced price with reduced acreage.

Services: mains electricity, modern borehole water supply, septic tank drainage and oil storage tank.
