The Woodlands is a substantial Georgian farmhouse set within around 15 acres of lawns, woodland and pasture, offering private, country living close to Tarporley and Nantwich. The main house provides generous reception space, a large open-plan family kitchen with orangery, a library, lounge and study, plus extensive outbuildings including a separate two-bedroom cottage and a gym with triple garage block. Mature gardens, a small lake and meadowland give immediate rural character and scope for equestrian or recreational use (subject to consents).
This freehold property is Grade II listed, which preserves period character but will add constraints and potential cost to alterations and maintenance. The house relies on an oil-fired boiler and has an EPC rating of G; internal walls are assumed to have no insulation. Broadband is very slow and council tax is described as quite expensive — practical factors to consider for modern family life or home working.
Accommodation suits a large family or multigenerational living, with flexible rooms and two self-contained outbuildings for guests or rental income. The grounds and outbuildings provide scope to repurpose spaces (studio, equestrian facilities, or expanded leisure uses) but any significant change will need listed-building and planning consents. For buyers seeking privacy, scale and countryside lifestyle, The Woodlands offers a rare combination of history, land and adaptable living — balanced by the ongoing responsibilities of a listed estate.
Viewing is recommended for those wanting a large, characterful country home with scope for sensitive improvement; budget for heritage-led repairs, retrofit and higher running costs.
