Property details

Bedrooms: 5

Situated in a wonderful rural position, surrounded by open countryside with distant views towards the Derbyshire hills, Orchard Barn is a spectacular detached barn conversion standing within an exclusive courtyard of just three properties, each retaining their own individuality, grounds and privacy.
The conversion which took place in 2004 was extremely comprehensive and the unique architecturally styled accommodation has been transformed into a superb dwelling. There is great attention to detail with many original feature being retained, including wall and ceiling timbers, beautiful oak staircases and galleries, providing approximately 4000 sq ft of family living space, effectively laid over three floors.
Beautifully tended formal grounds surround the barn and incorporate a lovely thatched breeze house, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining in all weathers! Beyond lie cottage and working kitchen gardens with raised planter beds and an attractive glass house. An enclosed rectangular paddock is absolutely ideal for those families wishing for their children to roam endlessly yet under watchful eyes and there is plenty or room for a pony or two.
Ample parking is provided past the barn with gated access into the paddock, a detached double garage with loft/hobbies room over and within the paddock itself is a useful brick built shant.
LOCATION
High Legh is a desirable semi rural location, yet by no means isolated and within a short drive of Altrincham, Knutsford and Lymm centres which provide for most shopping requirements. The village offers the best of both worlds for family living with some beautiful country walks in the nearby countryside, yet for the commuter within a short drive of the North West motorway network, Manchester International Airport and Rail Stations with intercity connections. Excellent educational facilities cater for children of most ages in both the State and private sectors. For the sports person, the nearby Golf Club at High Legh has an excellent course and there are Leisure Centres affording most other activities in Lymm and Knutsford.

After passing The Cottons Hotel, turn right onto Mereside Road, signed for Altrincham and Manchester Airport. At the traffic lights with The Swan Inn public house on your right, cross the A556 Chester Road onto Chapel Lane. After approximately 2 miles the barn can be access along a private driveway set back from Peacock Lane on your left.
