Superb example of modern, country living next to Nantwich

The Barn, Green Lane, Edleston, CW5 5TL

Blending the peace and tranquillity of country living with quaint character and convenient transport links and amenities, discover a once in a lifetime Cheshire home, at The Barn.

Just a stone’s throw from Nantwich, and peacefully positioned alongside the Shropshire Union Canal, with walks, schools, playparks and shops within walking distance, The Barn is rural, but not remote.

Unique setting
Approached through the electric gated entrance and along a gravel driveway, The Barn is unique in its solitary nature; one barn alone, rather than one among a collection of converted farm buildings. Peaceful, private, and utterly unique, with its handsome arches and alluring porthole windows, The Barn evokes admiration before even setting foot inside.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s the ideal location in terms of schools, accessibility into towns, walks along the canal. And it’s a gorgeous looking home.”

Converted around about the early 2000s, The Barn retains much of its farmyard authenticity, featuring original concrete ramps and feeding troughs (upcycled as planters), large hooks and door hinges, whilst making way for modern comforts.

Quiet convenience
Park up on the driveway, or in the attached garage, before making your way indoors, through the handy every-day porch, part tiled in Moroccan fashion to the walls and with coir matting underfoot.

Currently utilised for storage, and accommodating a large American-style larder fridge, access to the integral garage is available on the right, whilst ahead, the laundry room is tiled underfoot and furnished with plenty of storage and plumbing for two washing machines and tumble dryer.

Sociable living
The heart of the home, diagonal wood plank flooring, warmed by underfloor heating, emphasises the spaciousness of the family kitchen through the door on the left. Light and bright, windows to both sides draw in an abundance of light, whilst Shaker-style cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Shadow White’ provides plenty of storage.

Cleverly zoned, the large, central island-breakfast bar helps to create different ‘rooms’ within the kitchen, creating a space in which all the family can converge and come together whilst simultaneously enjoying their own endeavours.

OWNER QUOTE: “When I walked in it felt so open, I felt like I could come in with the children from school – make tea, keep an eye on them at same time –it’s a good social area for family and friends.”

Pine worktops combine with the marble of the central island, offering ample preparation space. Current, yet countryfied, the kitchen, with the lowest ceiling height in The Barn, has an intimate warmth, bolstered by the Rangemaster double cooker. Integrated appliances also include a fridge, dishwasher, pull-out discreet double bin and double Belfast sink.

Sunny spaces
Hinting at the home’s heritage, a low door opens to a sunny courtyard; the perfect place for a bistro table and chairs at which to enjoy a mid-afternoon coffee overlooking the activity on the farmyard.

Opening up to the dining and living area beyond, there is also access out to the rear garden from the opposite side.

Flow through into the main entrance hall; a bright and bountiful space, off which there is a handy, modern cloakroom with wall mounted Villeroy & Boch WC and two-drawer vanity unit wash basin.

Relax and unwind
Off the entrance hall there is access to the light and bright lounge, where windows and French doors draw in light from two sides. A magical Christmas room, warmed by a handsome log-burning stove nestled on a slate hearth, cosiness and comfort emanate from every corner. All windows and French doors are tastefully fitted with elegant, off-white electric blinds.

Peacefully set off the entrance hall is a private home office, with full height French doors drawing in natural light and offering access out to the garden.

OWNER QUOTE: “Dynamically, the home works well –no rooms are a ‘walk through’.”

Make your way up the solid oak staircase to arrive at the first-floor landing, where a low porthole window illuminates each step and light streams in through the Velux above.

Quaint character
Turning left from the top of the stairs, another quaint porthole window with removable plantation shutter provides pretty views out to the horses in the surrounding fields from the first of the double bedrooms.

Next door on the left, ornithological wallpaper adds a splash of colour in the second double bedroom, where light streams in through skylights above.

Returning along the landing, heading right from the top of the stairs, immediately on the right discover a peaceful single bedroom, carpeted underfoot and awash with light from the Velux above. Dressed in Little Greene ‘Aquamarine Pale’, this bedroom features plenty of storage in the fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobe.

Refresh and recharge
Serving up refreshment, discover a wet room shower in the elegantly tiled family bathroom next door, also furnished with a wide, Duravit wall-mounted, vanity unit wash basin and WC.

Exposed pinkish brick at the far end of the landing signifies your arrival at the master suite, a room swimming in light and brimming with fitted storage; all embellished in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Skimming Stone’. Wake up to enchanting views out over the canal and watch the boats chugging down the water from the window seat.

Hessian toned carpet underfoot retains a sense of country comfort, juxtaposed by the contemporary chic of the Duravit ensuite bathroom.

Soak away the aches in the centrally filling tub with showerhead attachment; a separate walk-in, wet room shower is also available, alongside a wash basin and WC.

Garden escapes
Outside, the large flat lawn is ideal for children’s games, safe and securely gated, making it perfect for pets too.

Wine and dine at the large terrace, soaking up the sun throughout the day before watching it drop in the late summer evenings.

Soak up the peace and tranquillity of the setting surrounded by countryside or seek shelter and shade beneath the draping boughs of the willow tree.
