Description

An impressive country home with a lot of character and original features set in an idyllic location with stunning views across the countryside.

Whirley Barn Farm is a substantial country home which has been sympathetically updated with great care to preserve the original features including stone flagged floor, vaulted ceilings, exposed brick and beams and a Galleried entrance hall stunning Oak staircase leading to the upper floor.

The entrance vestibule leads into the grand galleried entrance hall with its abundance of exposed brick and beams, a small library/reading room with access to the rear patio. There is a generous triple aspect lounge with a large brick fireplace and open fire, a good-sized kitchen with wooden units, centre island, lounge area, French doors to the rear garden. The rear porch has a lift to the first floor and leads to the utility room.

The very large principal bedroom (which leads off a separate staircase) has a triple aspect and very generous en-suite bathroom leading to a small bedroom with the lift to the ground floor.
There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Externally the property is approached gates leading to a long driveway providing parking for several cars and a good sized detached brick garage with electric door. Above the garage is a studio room/office ideal for working from home.

The landscaped grounds surround the property with extensive lawn, stone flagged patios and mature trees, shrubs, pond and a small orchard with delightful views across the adjoining countryside including Shutlingsloe and Macclesfield Forest.

Whirley Barn Farm occupies a highly desirable and sought after location enjoying local walks whilst retaining easy access to Alderley Edge and Macclesfield.
