A CHESHIRE house dating back to circa 1650 is on the market for £1 million.

The Grade II listed former farmhouse on Trouthall Lane in Plumley has four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en suite to the principal bedroom.

Former barns have been 'sympathetically converted' and the property retains many original features.

The house is constructed of brick with black-and-white elevations with exposed internal beams.

It has a slate roof and is accessed through private electric gates.

There is also a dining room and a fully fitted study.

The breakfast kitchen is centred around an Aga and supplemented by a conventional cooker.

The house has a number of original outbuildings, including a bread oven, former privy, and pig cote.

The house is set in a private, semi-rural location, backing onto Cheshire countryside.

The gardens are described as being 'beautifully maintained' and are approximately two-thirds of an acre.

There is a greenhouse, covered seating area, and a pond with the original well beneath.

The property also has a double garage with a self-contained annexe above.

The annexe could be updated to a studio bedsit, which would be ideal for families with older children, visiting guests, or those requiring a home office.

According to the estate agent: "The beautifully stocked private gardens are a real highlight, featuring a quality greenhouse, a covered seating area, and a pond with the original well beneath.

"Unique heritage touches, including the former pig pen and separate bread oven, add charm and authenticity."

The property is located a third of a mile from Plumley station, and the nearest schools include Lostock Gralam CofE Primary School, which is 1.6 miles away, and Lower Peover CofE Primary School, which is 1.8 miles away.
