Bank House Lane

Take a moment to view our ‘signature’ guided tour of Bank House, Smallwood to fully immerse yourself in this wonderful home & all of it’s impressive attributes!!
Set within the beautiful semi-rural hamlet of Smallwood, in one of Cheshire’s most desirable countryside locations, Bank House offers an exceptional blend of character, space and contemporary country living. Surrounded by open Cheshire countryside yet wonderfully connected to everyday amenities, this is a setting that captures the very best of rural life without feeling remote. Congleton and Sandbach are within easy reach, local schools and amenities are close by, and a much-loved village gastro pub is just a short stroll away. It is a location where country walks, village life and the simple pleasure of looking out across farmland become part of everyday living.
Approached through recently upgraded gates and a handsome brick-pillared entrance, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and substance. The extensive driveway provides an impressive arrival and ample parking, while the one-acre grounds (approx) offer an enviable degree of space and freedom. Inside, Bank House is rich in the character and proportions so sought-after in a country home. The formal entrance hall sets the tone, with original detailing, panelled features, a bright staircase and beautiful parquet herringbone flooring. Generous ceiling heights, feature fireplaces, traditional doors and bespoke cabinetry combine with thoughtful modern improvements to create a home that feels both timeless and entirely ready to enjoy. The principal reception rooms are wonderfully versatile, offering elegant spaces for entertaining, relaxing or working from home. The formal drawing and dining space has an unmistakable country-house atmosphere, complete with fireplace, library-style area and views across the frontage.
At the heart of the home is the impressive country kitchen and adjoining living space — undoubtedly the social hub of the property. Bespoke cabinetry, a Belfast sink, quality appliances, a breakfast bar and dedicated wine storage create a kitchen designed as much for entertaining as for everyday family life. Beyond, the open-plan living area combines exposed brick and timber, bespoke storage and a wealth of glazing, with bi-fold doors connecting the house seamlessly to the gardens.
Upstairs, a striking gallery landing overlooks the entrance hall and enjoys beautiful views across the Cheshire countryside. The accommodation is exceptionally well proportioned, with several generous double bedrooms, including two superb principal-style suites, three beautifully appointed bathrooms and ample built-in storage. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with air conditioning, bespoke media storage and a Juliet balcony overlooking the surrounding farmland — a wonderfully peaceful place to begin and end the day.
Outside is where the lifestyle offered by Bank House truly comes into its own. The grounds provide an extraordinary amount of space for family life, entertaining and relaxation. There is a dedicated alfresco dining area ready for outdoor cooking and entertaining, a fire-pit and hot-tub area, mature planting, lawns and secluded corners beneath established trees. The garden changes beautifully with the seasons, while the outlook across genuine Cheshire farmland provides a constant connection to the countryside.
For families, the property offers an enviable combination of freedom and entertainment, with quality outdoor play equipment and a summer house. For those working from home, a separate Cheshire-brick outbuilding with its own wood burner provides a charming and highly usable office or studio.
The triple garage is another exceptional feature. With three electric doors, generous proportions and solar controls, it provides outstanding storage and parking, while the first-floor cinema room transforms the space into a superb entertainment suite, complete with air conditioning and a fully fitted bar. Whether used for movie nights, gaming, a home gym or entertaining friends, it adds another dimension to an already remarkable home.
So, if you’re looking for a home where every day you can enjoy morning coffee overlooking Cheshire farmland, country walks from the doorstep, an evening drink at the nearby village pub and long summer lunches outdoors with children enjoying the freedom of the garden, look no further & call us here at Chris Hamriding to book your all-important viewing of this one in a lifetime opportunity!
