Heathfield is a handsome Edwardian home, beautifully positioned in a peaceful rural setting with fine, far-reaching views over the Cheshire countryside. The property has been significantly extended and tastefully modernised in recent years, creating a wonderful family home that seamlessly blends period character with contemporary style. The works included linking the main house with the old Coach House to redefine and extend the accommodation, installing new sliding sash double-glazed windows, adding a striking oak-framed family room extension off the kitchen, and fitting new bathrooms throughout the main house. The result is a home of exceptional quality, offering elegant design, thoughtful detailing, and a strong sense of warmth and character throughout.

The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall from which the main reception rooms flow, with an attractive staircase rising to the first floor. The elegant drawing room enjoys a dual aspect, featuring the original wood floor and an open fireplace with a marble surround. Double doors connect this space to the family room, allowing for an effortless flow between the principal living areas.
To the right of the hall lies the sitting room, a beautifully proportioned space with a charming window seat, a log burner, and electric underfloor heating. There is also a cosy snug with a wood-burning stove, the perfect spot for relaxed evenings.

The kitchen truly forms the heart of the home, fitted with an excellent range of bespoke units topped with solid wood work surfaces. A traditional four oven AGA, two ring electric hob and butler’s sink combine practicality with classic country style. The kitchen opens into a stunning oak-framed family room extension, a light-filled and versatile living space with a log burner and double doors leading directly onto the terrace, where the gardens and countryside views can be enjoyed to full effect.

A second hall links the main house to the Coach House and features an iron spiral staircase leading to the upper floor. On the ground floor, there is a study with fitted shelving and double doors opening onto the rear garden, enjoying lovely countryside views. This area also includes a utility room incorporating a second ‘summer kitchen’, and a spacious wet room, ideal for washing off muddy boots and paws. Several doors provide convenient access to the outside for informal, everyday use.

The principal staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where there are three double bedrooms, each enjoying a double aspect with lovely rural views, and a contemporary family shower room. The spacious principal bedroom suite features an en-suite bathroom and steps leading into its own walk-in wardrobe. This area connects to the Coach House, which provides two additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a stylish ‘cocktail kitchen’ with an adjoining sitting room. The sitting room includes a wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors opening onto a balcony which is an ideal entertaining space with spectacular views. A separate external staircase provides independent access to this area, offering excellent potential for a fully self-contained flat.

Overall Heathfield is a hugely impressive and well-balanced family home offering flexible accommodation in an excellent rural position on the outskirts of Malpas village.


Gardens, grounds & outbuildings

Heathfield is approached through double electric gates onto a private gravelled driveway, which provides ample parking for several vehicles. There is also a two bay, oak framed open fronted garage equipped with an electric car charging point. The house sits beautifully at the centre of its plot, with total grounds extending to approximately 1.2 acres.

To the front, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature hedge borders and a charming summer house.

This area leads to the rear garden, which is beautifully planted with well-stocked herbaceous borders and enclosed by established hedging.

A workshop is accessed directly from the terrace, while in the eastern corner of the grounds there is a substantial stable block, currently utilised as a spacious workshop and store. The remaining land is laid to lawn and offers a large, level area, perfect for children’s play or for keeping small livestock, with the added benefit of separate access onto the lane.
