Set within about 5.5 acres in a conservation area, Oak Farm House is a substantial Grade II listed farmhouse recently remodelled to combine period character with contemporary finishes. The principal house provides generous reception space, exposed beams, open fireplaces and a principal suite with vaulted ceilings and countryside views — well suited to a large family or those who enjoy entertaining and outdoor living.
Practical strengths include garaging for five cars, a games room and offices over the garage, and extensive formal gardens and paddocks. Much of the interior has been refurbished to a high standard and double glazing was installed post-2002. The property sits in an attractive rural setting between Alderley Edge and Knutsford with good access to local schools and regional road and rail links.
Material considerations are clear and important: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance and planning. The EPC rating is F and heating is supplied by an LPG boiler with underfloor heating, which may mean higher running costs compared with mains gas. The property’s older solid brick walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation and broadband speeds are slow — relevant if remote working is required.
This is a large, characterful estate for buyers who value historic fabric, substantial grounds and standalone garage facilities. It will particularly appeal to purchasers who can accommodate listed-building restrictions and are comfortable with the ongoing maintenance and running costs of a sizeable country house.
