Summary - Whirley Fold Farm, Wrigley Lane, Over Alderley SK10 4RP
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Period farmhouse with huge barn potential and 1.7 acres of gardens and paddock.
Approx. 4,842 sqft including 30ft vaulted drawing room
Whirley Fold Farm is a characterful farmhouse and attached barn set in an idyllic semi‑rural position just outside Alderley Edge. The house offers more than 4,800 sqft of adaptable accommodation across two storeys, including a spectacular 30ft vaulted drawing room with exposed beams and a central fireplace. The grounds extend to about 1.7 acres, with formal walled gardens, mature planting, lawned areas, patio and an open paddock with far-reaching countryside views.
A major value-driver is the large, unconverted barn extending to over 50ft on the ground floor — genuine potential to create substantial additional living space, annexe accommodation or an income-producing unit (subject to consents). The property has been well maintained by the current owners and retains many traditional features alongside practical rooms such as a kitchen with breakfast area, utility, dining room, four bedrooms and four bathrooms/ensuites.
Buyers should note material practical considerations: heating is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators, drainage is via a septic tank, the EPC rating is F and council tax is band G (quite expensive). Broadband speeds are very slow in this location despite excellent mobile coverage. These factors are important for ongoing running costs and potential renovation planning.
This house will suit families seeking space, privacy and scope for extension, or buyers wanting countryside lifestyle close to Alderley Edge village amenities and good schools. The site’s size and the barn’s conversion potential will particularly appeal to purchasers looking to add substantial value, subject to planning and the usual checks on services and consents.
