A PROPERTY boasting Georgian grandeur is now on the market in the village of Acton Bridge.

The house, named Meadowcroft, is described by Storeys of Cheshire as having 'sweeping views' of the countryside.

The entrance to the home is through a gated driveway, with ample parking for cars, camper vans, and horse trailers.

A garage is also available, and a secondary access path leads to the paddock.

The front of the house is marked by a classical portico entrance with paired sandstone columns.

Inside, the design of the house is centred around the views of the countryside, visible through Crittall-style glazing and doors.

The ground floor is open and airy, with a limestone fireplace housing a remote-controlled living flame gas fire.

Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor.

A fourth bedroom on the ground floor has its own private shower room en suite.

The estate agents say this room is ideal for guests or older children, and could also serve as a dining room, home library, or study.

The lounge features six sash windows, sunken LEDs, and a media wall with a remote control gas fire.

The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including a full-height fridge-freezer, integrated coffee machine, double ovens, microwave, and a hot, cold, and sparkling water tap.

It also has eight-metre bi-folding doors that open directly onto the terrace, providing a seamless flow between indoors and out.

The house has three spacious double bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring a balcony with views of the countryside, a walk-in dressing room, and an en suite bathroom.

The house sits on just under two acres of landscaped land, including a paddock and a small area of woodland.

There is also an orchard with pear and apple trees.

The property includes a substantial annexe, which could be converted into a fully independent dwelling.

Currently used as a games and leisure room, it could also be a gym, studio, or home office.

The annexe also has its own en suite and a separate boiler, with scope to create a fully independent system if required.

The house is on mains gas and is fitted with CCTV to the front, side, and rear.

The property has good transport links, with the M56 just a 10-15 minute drive away and Acton Bridge station a few minutes away, offering direct rail services to Liverpool and Manchester.

There are also a number of highly regarded primary and secondary schools nearby.

The owner of the property said: "From the very start, we wanted that immediate sense of vista - so the moment friends and family walk through the front door, they can see all the way through to the land at the back.

"The view was always the heart of the design."

"We wanted to wake up in the morning and see straight out across the countryside - on a clear day, you can see all the way to the Derbyshire hills."

Meadowcroft is on the market for offers of more than £1,400,000.

Storeys of Cheshire, who are marketing the property, have said that some images have been virtually staged for visualisation purposes.
