Aston Park House, Aston By Budworth

A beautiful Grade II* listed Queen Anne 7 bed Country House, located in the charming rural parish of Aston by Budworth on the edge of the Arley Hall Estate. Originally built in 1715, and having recently undergone a full scheme of restoration and refurbishment, the property offers exceptional accommodation extending in all to over 6300 sq ft.

Location - Aston by Budworth adjoins the village of Great Budworth, which is well known for its historic church, picturesque cottages and period properties. It is one of the most charming villages in Cheshire and boasts a wealth of facilities including a sailing club on Budworth Mere, tennis club and bowling club as well as a well thought of public house serving good food. There is a village primary school and a nearby preparatory school. The location is ideal for the busy commuter with access to the M6 motorway at Tabley just over 4 miles away. The M56 motorway may be accessed at Stretton (4 miles away). The village is within easy reach of Northwich (4 Miles) Knutsford (6 miles) and Warrington (9 miles). Manchester International Airport, Manchester City centre and Liverpool, are all within easy travelling distance.

The property, which is constructed in brick with stone dressings, under a slate roof, offers exceptionally spacious and well appointed accommodation over three floors, extending to around 6,000 sq ft in all, and sits in a generous plot extending to around 1 acre, located via an avenue of lime trees, at the end of a long cobbled driveway.

The accommodation is arranged over three main floors all with a central spine corridor and doors opening off to either side. On the ground floor level there are three principal reception rooms including a dining room, drawing room and a family room as well as a newly fitted kitchen.

A fine feature of the house is its open well staircase with candy twist balustrade and panelled newels. There is also an enclosed spiral servants staircase which closely follows the path of the main staircase.

On the first floor level there are four large double bedrooms and three bathrooms including an independant kitchen area of the master, a small ensuite facility, a larger shower room, and a magnificent family bathroom, all finished in stunning marble tiles and exceptionally high quality sanitary ware.

There are three further double bedrooms on the second floor which are served by an equally impressive bathroom.
