Flaxmere Hall, Flaxmere, Norley, Cheshire, WA6 6NJ

A stunning 6 bedroom period family house with stabling, sitting in about 2.43 acres, with unparalleled hacking in Delamare Forest.

Description - Flaxmere Hall is a true rarity to the market, being a most attractive period house with elevations adorned with wisteria, honeysuckle, clematis and passionflower, all surmounted by a tiled roof.

The location is second to none, being situated down a quiet, stone, shared driveway, providing a delightful and private rural setting, within the protected (SSSI) area of Flaxmere Moss.

The property enjoys the best of both worlds with its rural location yet is only 1.6 miles from Delamere train station and 12 miles from the M56 enabling easy access by train and car to the major local conurbations.

The house sits in an elevated position with south easterly views of the gardens and one of the paddocks to the front which lies adjacent to the stable block. The hall is a generously proportioned family sized house, with well presented, thoughtfully laid out accommodation ideal for modern family living. The interior has such features as beamed ceilings, open fire, period Range, wooden floorboards, an AGA and solid wooden kitchen units. The bathrooms are all beautifully appointed with the family bathroom having a free-standing slipper bath. There is extant planning permission for the construction of a timber and glass framed conservatory lying to the side of the house adjoining the kitchen.

What makes this house truly special for the equestrian buyer is the availability of outstanding off-road hacking lying adjacent to Delamare Forest and the Mere’s and Moss’s. A bridle path lies to one side of the rear paddock, enabling direct access onto off road hacking.

Gardens & Grounds - The hall is approached via a shared stone drive which leads to the front elevation, with a parking area for several cars. The good-sized garaging is located to the gable end of the house with much scope for conversion into further accommodation, if required, (subject to the necessary consents being obtained). Running almost the entire length of the front, south easterly elevation lies a large stone terrace with seating area, ideal for al fresco dining. The lawns continue to the side of the house which lead to the covered hot tub and seating area with adjoining Greenhouse. One of the many paddocks lie to the front of the house with the brick stable block overlooking.

The stables are ideally located off the main drive with a large concrete apron, four boxes and an adjoining hay/feed/implement store, with horse box parking to the rear. The stables lend themselves to residential conversion subject to gaining the relevant planning permissions. There is an integral tack room to the house. Located to the rear of the house are two further paddocks.

Please note: there is the possibility to purchase more land.
