Description

Meadow Farm House – An outstanding Grade II listed Four-Bedroom Cheshire Farmhouse sitting centrally within a magnificent plot of circa 2.4 acres.

Dating back to 1571 and nestled in the picturesque village of Hargrave, just a short distance from the historic city of Chester and the charming villages of Tattenhall and Tarporley, Meadow Farm House is a beautifully preserved farmhouse dating back to the 1600s. Set within approximately 2.4 acres of manicured gardens and paddocks, this exceptional property blends timeless character with modern convenience.

A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Modernity

A sweeping driveway leads you towards the house past the pond and through the manicured grounds. Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a modern, extended kitchen that effortlessly combines contemporary design with the farmhouse’s historic charm. The spacious ground floor boasts a drawing room, a formal dining hall, and a versatile snooker room or secondary sitting room, ideal for relaxation or entertaining. A music or hobbies room offers further flexibility and could easily be adapted into a games room, gym, or any space to suit your needs. There is a large utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

Elegant Accommodation

Upstairs, the property features four generously sized bedrooms, including a magnificent master suite. The master bedroom is a true highlight, featuring elegant vaulted beamed ceilings and abundant storage, along with a luxurious ensuite bathroom. The three additional bedrooms are bright and airy, each offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Beautifully Appointed Exterior

Outside, Meadow Farm House is just as impressive. The property includes a detached double garage, a former stable block that sits adjacent to the paddock, and an old milking Parlor that has been cleverly converted into a fully functional home office. Whether you're an equestrian enthusiast or simply looking for room to roam, the paddocks provide ample space for horses or other animals to graze. There is a double garage with separate workshop, an outdoor WC and a stable block to the rear of the paddock.

Sunrises and Sunsets

The beautifully landscaped gardens wrap around the property, offering serene outdoor living. A pond adds to the peaceful atmosphere, whilst the southerly facing position of the farmhouse allows for breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, including dramatic sunsets and serene sunrises. Views towards the iconic Beeston and Peckforton Castles complete the picture, providing a truly magical backdrop.

An Idyllic Location

Meadow Farm House enjoys a prime location, offering both rural tranquillity and proximity to the vibrant city of Chester. The nearby villages of Tarporley and Tattenhall are renowned for their charming communities and offer a range of local amenities. The property’s rural setting is complemented by excellent transport links, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful yet convenient lifestyle.

Summary

Meadow Farm House is a rare find, combining historic charm, modern living, and extensive grounds, all within a beautifully scenic setting.
