Superb outbuildings including a high quality stable block and detached double brick garage with home office/annexe over. Formal gardens, patios, paddocks and wildlife area. No ongoing chain.
Set in 5 acres (with the option to purchase an additional 6.8 acres for a fixed price of 30,000), Mere House Farm is a detached barn conversion with extensive outbuildings and wonderful rural views, just 10 minutes from the market town of Nantwich and 20 minutes drive from the centre of Tarporley village. The conversion was undertaken in 2005 with architects Bower Edleston of Nantwich.
The accommodation comprises: Three reception rooms, a large and airy breakfast kitchen, five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Superb outbuildings including a high quality stable block and detached double brick garage with home office/annexe over. Formal gardens, patios, paddocks and wildlife area. No ongoing chain.
Access to Mere House Farm is via a long, shared, private road flanked by open countryside. There is a spacious private tarmac driveway, with plenty of room to turn and park numerous cars and trailers etc.
The accommodation opens with a dining hall providing space for a large table and chairs, and has a staircase rising to the master bedroom.
The master bedroom (the only upstairs area in the whole house) is served by an en-suite bathroom and has truly remarkable open views, which can be enjoyed from the balcony.
A spacious vaulted sitting room has stunning oak king-post trusses, a fireplace with multi-fuel stove, and patio doors to the South and North sides opening onto outside entertaining areas.
The light, airy kitchen, with its vaulted ceiling and superb oak king post trusses, has an extensive range of wall and floor cupboards, the usual electric appliances and an Aga. The kitchen has ample space for a substantial table and chairs and overlooks both the formal front garden and driveway, and the paved and gravelled courtyard garden to the rear. The utility and cloakroom lead conveniently off it.
Next to the kitchen is a family room, with a range of large built-in storage cupboards. This room could, if necessary, be used as an additional bedroom.
The remaining main four ground floor rooms are used as bedrooms, two of which benefit from ensuite bathrooms, and the other two which are served by a family bathroom.
Due to the arrangement of the rooms in this house, one end of the house could easily be adapted for joined-but-private accommodation for dependent relatives or those with older children returning from University.
Externally, the stable block (with two stables, tack room and hay store) has been constructed to a high standard, whilst the double garage has a large loft studio/annexe above. Accessed via an external staircase, the studio room could be used for a variety of different purposes and has the benefit of a kitchenette and shower room.
The landscaped formal gardens have been meticulously maintained, and incorporate lawn, well stocked beds and borders, a south-facing sunny patio with pergola, courtyard garden. There is a separately-fenced young orchard with duck pond, a small vegetable garden with raised beds, children's play area and greenhouse.
The two paddocks included with the house extend to approximately 3.7 acres, and there is a separate wildlife area (0.6 acres) with a natural pond. In addition it should be noted that a field opposite with a further 6.8 acres can be obtained as a competitive fixed-price optional extra of 30,000. The property is a registered smallholding, and the three paddocks and wildlife area are eligible for the Single Farm Payment, which yielded an income of 793 in 2010.
The property is conveniently placed for both Nantwich and Tarporley, offering a comprehensive range of services, as does the county town of Chester which is 22 miles distant. On the recreational front, there are cricket, tennis and rugby clubs in Nantwich, golf courses at Tarporley and Whitchurch, and horse racing at Chester and Bangor-on-Dee.
There's a choice of several local state primary schools, and a good independent primary school (The White House at Whitchurch) within 15-20 minutes drive. School buses to secondary/senior schools in Nantwich and Chester run from nearby. There is a handy Post Office/general store and a modern health centre just 5 minutes away in the delightful village of Wrenbury.
The area enjoys excellent road communications being 11 miles distant from the M6 Motorway (J16) allowing for ease of access to Manchester, The Potteries, Birmingham and beyond. Manchester International Airport is approx 40 miles distant and travel to London is available via Crewe Station (8 miles) providing a 1 hour intercity service to London Euston.

This area provides off-road parking and turning space for approximately 15 vehicles.

Beyond the garden lies a delightful duck pond and young orchard/poultry paddock, two paddocks and a wildlife/conservation area planted with native trees and enclosing a natural pond.

From our office in the centre of Tarporley take a left turn out of the village in the direction of Nantwich and having passed the Swan Hotel on the right and the Texaco petrol station on the left proceed to the end of the village and take a left turn onto the A49. Proceed along until reaching the four lane end crossroads with the Red Fox pub on the right hand side. Carry straight on on the A51 Nantwich. Proceed for 6.5 miles through the villages of Alpraham, Calveley and Wardle before reaching the keystone crossroads at which point take a right turn on to the A534 (Cuckoo Lane). Drive for approximately 0.7 miles at which point take a left and immediate first right onto Ravens Lane. After 500 yards take the right fork onto Swanley Lane continue along for approximately 1.7 miles before turning right onto Baddiley Hall Lane. Drive for 1.2 miles where you will see a Wright Manley for sale board, follow the driveway up to the entrance to Mere House Farm which is clearly identified by the appropriate signage.
ROUTE NUMBER 2
Directions from A49 (Cholmondeley Arms pub - about 15 minutes)
At the Cholmondeley Arms pub, turn off the A49 following signs for Wrenbury. Stay on this wiggly country lane, until you cross the canal by the Dusty Miller pub (4 miles) Stick on the same road all the way through Wrenbury village, passing the church and the school on the left. You will emerge into open countryside again and shortly pass the drive & sign to Wrenbury Hall on the left 0.5 mile mile after Wrenbury Hall, you will cross over the canal again on a sharp bend. Take the next lane on the left just in front of a pair of red-brick semis. This is Baddiley Hall Lane (there is a sign for St Michael's church). If you cross the canal for a 3rd time, turn around - you've gone too far. Once on Baddiley Hall Lane follow the narrow lane for about 0.75 mile until you see a large white sign on the left (hanging high above the hedge) for Mere House etc. Mere House Farm is the first house on the drive.
