## Description

Nestled in a tranquil and picturesque semi-rural location, a charming Grade II listed farmhouse, dating back to the late 17th century, which has been sympathetically extended and fully renovated which boasts over 4,000 sq.ft of outstanding flexible accommodation and many character features throughout.

The property is approached by an impressive sweeping driveway leading to extensive parking and is set in beautifully landscaped south-west facing private gardens with great entertainment space and uninterrupted views across open farmland.  The property has been tastefully renovated by the current owner inline with listed building consent and benefits from an underfloor wet heating system and double glazed windows with insulated walls and breathable membrane.

**Location** - The property is situated in a delightful semi-rural location to the south of the popular Market Town of Nantwich which is set beside the River Weaver with a rich history, a wide range of speciality shops and 4 supermarkets.  Nantwich in Bloom in November 2015 was delighted to have once again scooped the prestigious Gold award from the Britain in Bloom competition.  In Cheshire, Nantwich is second only to Chester in its wealth of historic buildings.  The High Street has many of the town's finest buildings, including the Queen's Aid House and The Crown Hotel built in 1585.  Four major motorways which cross Cheshire ensure fast access to the key commercial centres of Britain and are linked to Nantwich by the A500 Link Road.  Manchester Airport, one of Europe's busiest and fastest developing, is within a 45-minute drive of Nantwich.  Frequent trains from Crewe railway station link Cheshire to London-Euston in only 1hr 30mins.  Manchester and Liverpool offer alternative big city entertainment.  Internationally famous football teams, theatres and concert halls are just some of the many attractions.
