Foxacre, Swettenham Village - 3 bed - £598,000 - Gascoigne Halman - Knutsford

Property details

Bedrooms: 3

Constructed in 1986 of Cheshire brick elevations surmounted by a tiled roof, Foxacre is a bespoke detached family house situated on a large established rectangular garden plot of approximately quarter of an acre in a beautiful semi rural village setting. Opposite the 13th Century Grade II listed church behind which lies the Swettenham Arms, a famous local 16th Century public house, once a nunnery!
Approached over a five bar gated block driveway, ample parking is afforded and there is a large detached garage block with a most impressive covered walk-way adjoining the house. This in itself is particularly useful, not only for all weather alfresco dining, but perhaps with further development, could be created into a further room, subject to planning permission.
We firmly believe there is further scope to extend the property, subject to planning permission.
LOCATION
Situated in some of Cheshire's most beautiful countryside, Swettenham village, home to a number of internationally acclaimed scientists, is an idyllic rural village with many attractive period properties, a 13th Century church and a very highly regarded local hostelry, The Swettenham Arms. Within a short distance is the Quinta Arboretum nature reserve, an area of over 36 acres of outstanding natural beauty, the River Dane Valley which is just a short stroll down the hill.

Access to the large nearby towns and motorway network could not be easier with good connections to Holmes Chapel, Congleton and the south Manchester towns of Knutsford, Wilmslow and Alderley Edge which are all about 11 miles distance. The M6 motorway is reached easily at Holmes Chapel, approximately 5 miles away and Manchester International Airport is approximately 17 miles distance.

Independant and state schools are easily reached at several of the aforementioned towns, including Terra Nova. Rail stations at Holmes Chapel and Goostrey provide a regular commuter service to Manchester and London Euston, via Crewe.
DIRECTIONS
From Knutsford take the A537 Chelford Road for 5 miles until reaching Chelford roundabout and taking the third exit onto A535 signed Holmes Chapel. After approximately 2.5 miles turn left onto Longshoot Road and left again onto the B5392. Turn first right at Withington Green, signed for Swettenham. Follow this road to its end turning left towards Swettenham. After decending the hill, proceed up signed for Swettenham Village (do not cross the forde!). Follow the lane into the village where Foxacre will be seen on your left opposite the Church.

Foxacre stands centrally in a lovely private garden plot which extends to just over quarter of an acre and in the main is laid to lawn enclosed by mature privet hedging and fencing providing security and a safe playing area for children. Approached over a five bar gated block pavioured driveway, ample parking leads to a detached garage with metal up and over door, light and power. Belfast sink with hot and cold water. The garage is connected to the house via a stable door and an impressive covered walkway with exposed timbers and ornamental walls which is ideal for parking a further vehicle and covered alfresco dining. Potting shed. The front garden boasts an impressive monkey tree and the rear gardens have a beautiful open aspect over surrounding countryside and unrestricted views of the distant Cheshire/Derbyshire hills. Detached brick workshop. Large dog kennel and run. External light, power and water.
AGENTS NOTE
We believe the property would lend itself to an extension by simply enclosing the large covered walkway, subject to the necessary planning permission. Alternatively to the gable or rear elevations.
