A SIX-BEDROOM house set in eight acres of land in Cheshire has come on the market for £1.9 million.

The Manor House, located on the Oakmere Hall Estate in Oakmere, is surrounded by two acres of formal gardens, a paddock, and an additional six acres of land.

It is accessed along a tree-lined driveway, which skirts the reflective shores of a lake.

The property was built in 1993 and was 'remodelled' across the footprint of two original cottages at the same time that Oakmere Hall was converted into residential apartments.

The estate agent, Storeys of Cheshire, describes the property as 'a home of grandeur' and 'a family home'.

According to the estate agent, the house was updated by a developer who added an extension around a decade ago.

The extension created two new large spaces: the lounge with sliding doors opening onto the garden, and the light-filled master suite above.

The entrance hall leads to a kitchen-diner, a family room with sliding doors, a utility room, a formal dining room, and a garden room area with French doors leading to the garden.

The owner said: "So many of the large rooms offer triple aspect views, there is a constant connection to the outdoors."

The Manor House has six bedrooms, several with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathrooms.

The master suite spans the full width of the home, with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and windows.

Outside, there are gravel pathways, lawns, and planting areas.

There is also a pond, a patio, and a paddock bordered by open farmland.

For parking or equestrian use, there are three double garages, including one standalone garage next to The Manor House itself and two further garages accessible from a separate driveway by the paddock.

The property has access to a range of amenities, including a gym and function room, as well as a Waitrose, butcher, and other local conveniences nearby.

Weaverham and Northwich are just a short drive away for a wider choice of shops, cafes, and eateries.

For families, The Grange and other highly regarded schools are within easy reach.

Despite its peaceful, rural setting, all the essentials are close at hand.

Yet it is the nature on the doorstep that truly sets The Manor House apart.

Embraced by countryside, step outside and the landscape opens up, with direct access to The Whitegate Way and the wider grounds of Oakmere, including woodland and a lake, there is space to walk, cycle and explore.
