Summary - Sweetbriar Cottage, Gallowsclough Lane, Oakmere CW8 2TG
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Large period family home on massive grounds with annexe and forest access.
Five double bedrooms, three bathrooms — spacious family accommodation
Briar Grange is a substantial period home set within an exceptionally large, fully enclosed plot offering privacy, formal gardens and expansive views across the Cheshire countryside. The house combines generous entertaining spaces — including a large dining kitchen, drawing room with open fireplace and a separate television/playroom — with five double bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it well suited to busy family life and large-scale entertaining.
The grounds are a major asset: circa 4–4.5 acres of formal lawns, parterres, mature specimen trees and outbuildings, plus a detached double garage with a self-contained annexe above. The annexe provides flexible accommodation for guests or potential income, while the fields beyond offer scope for paddocks, play and outdoor pursuits; Delamere Forest is a short walk away for everyday country recreation.
Practical considerations are candidly stated: the property is heated by electric storage heaters, broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and the EPC rating is E. Council tax is described as very expensive. Buyers should note the age and character of the house (listed as built in the 1920s) and expect some ongoing maintenance typical of a large, older home — a survey is recommended to confirm services and fabric.
For a family seeking space, privacy and countryside lifestyle close to local schools and village amenities, Briar Grange offers rare scale and character. The combination of formal gardens, extensive grounds and adaptable accommodation makes it attractive to family buyers who value outdoor life and room for hobbies, visitors or ancillary letting.
