About this property
The property has been comprehensively renovated to an exceptional standard, creating a beautifully presented family home with extensive ancillary
accommodation and first class leisure facilities.
Set within approximately 22.69 acres of agricultural land, with a further 107 acres of farmland and woodland available by separate negotiation, Manor Farm offers a rare
combination of privacy, amenity and convenience
Manor Farm enjoys a peaceful rural setting just 1.3 miles from the thriving village of Malpas. The village provides an excellent range of day to day amenities, including independent shops, pubs, restaurants, a coffee shop, and a highly regarded doctors’ surgery and pharmacy. Chester and the wider motorway network are easily accessible via the A41, while Crewe station offers a regular service to London Euston from 1 hour 34 minutes.
Malpas itself is a quintessential English village, recorded in the Domesday Book and centred around the impressive Gothic church of St Oswald’s. The area is well served for schooling, with Alport Primary School and the popular Bishop Heber High School nearby, and a choice of respected independent schools including King’s and Queen’s Chester, Abbey Gate College, Ellesmere College, Moreton Hall and Packwood Haugh.
Chester (15 miles) is one of the North West’s leading retail and commercial centres, while leisure opportunities in the area are excellent. Carden Park, approximately 8 miles away, offers two championship golf courses, a hotel, spa and fitness club. The locality is renowned for country pursuits, including hunting with the Wynnstay, shooting, fishing, walking and polo at the Cheshire Polo Ground.
Manor Farm is an exceptional country house showcasing outstanding interior design and craftsmanship. The recent renovation has been undertaken without compromise, resulting in a home of remarkable quality and comfort. The accommodation is versatile and extensive, including
a spacious annexe, well planned offices, a studio and a terrace of three cottages.
A pair of electric timber gates open onto a courtyard framed by traditional Cheshire brick outbuildings and the handsome front elevation of the house. A part glazed front door leads into a generous reception hall with cloakroom and staircase. The principal reception rooms include a drawing
room, dining room, sitting room and library. There is also a large basement and wine cellar.
The superb kitchen features bespoke cabinetry, two islands, integrated appliances and an Everhot range cooker. There is a fitted work station with bookshelves and cupboards for filing. Pocket doors open into the orangery/ garden room, creating a wonderful flow of space. Beyond the kitchen is a
walk in fridge and larder. An inner corridor passes a beautifully designed bar, leading to a part-glazed side hall with a laundry, studio and boot room beyond. There are stairs and independent access to a first floor annexe,
which provides a kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the first floor, the impressive principal suite includes two dressing areas and two bathrooms. There are two further bedroom suites on this level, with three additional suites on the second floor.
