An iconic Grade II listed residence dating from 1864, The Beeches offers generous, characterful family accommodation in a premier Alderley Edge location. Stone elevations, a defining turret and high ceilings deliver historic grandeur while sympathetic modern upgrades provide everyday comfort. The property sits on well-maintained gardens with off-street parking and direct access onto National Trust land and the Edge.
The accommodation extends over multiple levels and includes a principal suite with dressing room and en suite, three further double bedrooms on the first floor, and a tower bedroom with bathroom and a sun terrace at the top offering far-reaching views across the Cheshire plains. A substantial family dining kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, a cosy snug, utility and formal reception rooms combine period detail with practical living.
A detached two-storey auxiliary building currently used for storage and entertaining has full planning consent (2017) to convert into a separate dwelling — a material opportunity for ancillary accommodation or rental income. Note: the building and main house are Grade II listed, which protects architectural details but will restrict alterations and may complicate consent for some works.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold (long remainder), has older double glazing (pre-2002), assumed uninsulated stone walls, slow broadband and relatively high council tax. These are typical of historic homes and should be factored into running-cost and refurbishment plans.
