Location
One of Cheshire's finest equestrian properties, offering a beautifully appointed family home, extensive garaging and equestrian facilities. Further land available by separate negotiation.
Manor House and Rookery Park Stud stands in a wonderful position in the heart of rolling Cheshire countryside with beautiful views over its own paddocks and parkland. The principal house is approached through electric gates and via a lovely tree lined drive terminating at a large turning circle. There is also a parallel drive from a separate roadside access serving the equestrian element.
The house enjoys excellent countryside views from all windows and occupies an extremely private position within its plot and is not overlooked. Much of the property was constructed in the 1990’s to the highest specification by a well-known local developer as his own home. It has been carefully maintained by the current owners as a much-loved family home.
The flexible main house accommodation is arranged on two floors and the front door opens into a magnificent reception hall with a gallery above accessed by an imperial staircase. There are comfortable reception rooms, including a spacious drawing room, ideal for entertaining, two sitting rooms and a garden room. At the heart of the house is a large family breakfast room, linking to a bespoke Clive Christian kitchen. A boot room and back hall give access to the garaging as well as the stable yard. The first floor provides four excellent bedroom suites, each with its own dressing room and ensuite bathroom. There is potential to create a fifth double bedroom suite. In addition, a superb Clive Christian-designed billiard room and bar provide exceptional entertaining space.
