A Historic Transformation...

Purchased by the current owners 30 years ago, Woodworth Green Farm has been extensively transformed and extended from its humble beginnings. Once a small farmhouse with a fragmented layout, it has been renovated into a modern family home while preserving its original charm and character.

Character and Warmth...

An oak portico entrance leads to the original farmhouse front door, adorned with a traditional lion head knocker. Step into a welcoming entrance hall with original beams and a large redbrick fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The spacious room, complete with storage alcoves and traditional tiles, has a sociable ambiance, perfect for hosting a piano.

Explore the rear hall to find a cloakroom with a washbasin and WC, connecting to the sitting room on the right of the front door.

Relax and Unwind...

The sitting room is a light-filled, expansive space with artisan windows and French doors that overlook the patio and garden. Thick beams and a substantial inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove enhance the farmhouse feel.

OWNER QUOTE: “The new windows suit the home and were a great investment. They have a classic feel but are a contemporary make, and practically maintenance free.”

Adjacent to the sitting room is a versatile snug, currently used as a study but has served as an extra bedroom and playroom.Throughout the ground floor, the decor reflects the colors of the Cheshire countryside. Move from the entrance hall to the everyday living space, featuring light, cream colors and white-painted beams. French doors connect the living room to the lush garden, and a gas wood-burner effect stove adds cozy warmth.

OWNER QUOTE: “The living room, kitchen, and dining area are all open plan, but can yet feel independent from each other.”

Savor the Views...

The traditional farmhouse kitchen, the heart of the home, opens from the living area. Solid wood, cream-painted cabinetry, a central island, and a dark green Aga contribute to its charm. Modern appliances include a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and electric oven. Cream-painted beams lighten the space.The adjoining dining room features spotlights and underfloor heating beneath travertine tiles. Windows frame garden views, and French doors open to the terrace for alfresco dining.

Practical Spaces...

Off the kitchen, a Butler’s pantry provides additional storage, leading to the utility-boot room with a stable door to the stable yard. This spacious room has ample hanging space, a radiator for drying garments, plumbing for a washing machine, a tumble dryer, a stone sink, a full-size freezer, and extra cupboards. Shelves with baskets and cupboards add more storage. A cloakroom with a hand basin is also available.
