The perfect location for keen equestrians, fishermen or those who simply love the country lifestyle whilst still being within easy reach of transport links and the nearby towns of Holmes Chapel and Congleton, with Sandbach and Knutsford both within a short drive. The property sits within the Somerford Hall Estate, forming part of the former stable block of Somerford Hall. 7 The Stables combines architectural character with contemporary interior design and modern practicality. The approach sets the scene: a mile-long private driveway winds through paddocks and pasture, with horses and donkeys grazing in view. The result is a setting that is secluded and tranquil, yet never isolated — and one that feels utterly unique compared with any surrounding property. The atmosphere is defined by birdsong, open skies and expansive views of the Cheshire countryside, entirely free from road noise. Inside, the house has been fully renovated, to include a new heating and hot water system, electric underfloor heating to much of the property, new bathrooms and flooring/ carpets, retaining its period charm while offering a genuine turn-key finish. Exposed beams, high ceilings and the fully refurbished two-storey arched window reflect the building’s origins, while the south-facing aspect ensures superb natural light throughout. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space forms the heart of the home, designed for both everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with Moben cabinetry, Corian worktops and a range oven, alongside a well-equipped utility room. Upgraded French doors open to a large south-facing patio, seamlessly extending the living space in warmer months. The landscaped garden, wrapping around two sides of the house, is enclosed by mature hedging and includes lawns, borders, a greenhouse and a private pedestrian gate leading directly to the access road — a perfect shortcut for countryside walks. At the opposite end of the ground floor, a generous second reception provides versatile additional living space, with the floor-to-ceiling arched feature window a particular highlight. A stylish cloakroom and under-stair storage complete this level. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, three with bespoke fitted furniture. The principal suite includes an en-suite with underfloor heating, while a newly appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. Externally, the property benefits from a separate single garage and two dedicated parking spaces with electric vehicle charging point, there is also a large overflow/guest parking area located behind the garages, providing ample space for visitors. The property also benefits from super fast fibre to the premises broadband. **Location** The Stables is situated at the end of a resurfaced private one-mile driveway within the historic grounds of the former Somerford Hall Estate. It lies beside Somerford Park Farm Equestrian Centre, a nationally recognised facility with arenas, cross-country courses, stabling, training, gym and a café. The market town of Congleton, just three miles away, provides supermarkets, shops, cafés, a leisure centre, and cultural amenities, while nearby Astbury Mere Country Park and Black Firs Wood Nature Reserve offer additional outdoor space. Transport connections are strong. Congleton railway station is under four miles away, with services to Manchester in around 45 minutes. Crewe station, about 10 miles distance, provides fast services to London in approximately 1 hour 35 minutes and to Birmingham in about an hour. Holmes Chapel station is also within easy reach. The A34 and A54 give access to the M6 motorway (Junctions 17 and 18), and Manchester Airport is around 12 miles away. The area is well served by education, with Black Firs Primary School and The Quinta Primary School within 2 miles, and Congleton High School, Eaton Bank Academy and Kings independent school are within easy reach. All are well-regarded locally.
