Little Stanneylands is the delightful restoration of an original farmstead dating back to the 1600s, creating just nine luxury homes nestled within their own established private grounds in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Inspired by beautiful natural materials and simple, sustainable design, architect Annabelle Tugby puts a modern spin on English country style.

Each property has been passionately designed and renovated to enhance its wealth of Grade II Listed features and charm, whilst creating stunning contemporary living.

This enchanting enclave of two and three-bedroom homes, each with its distinctive character, fold around established ‘secret garden’ spaces and a central yew tree roundabout within a private setting.

The homes are approached through an electric gate entrance into the 1.2 acre landscaped farmstead. Each home is part of a series of buildings, some loosely attached or detached, and additional barns are converted as re-imagined mews homes.

The established gardens and paving areas weave between weeping willows, ferns and walled rockeries, as well as lush green lawned areas. Thatched outbuildings and original window planters add to the intrigue and natural calmness the outdoor areas offer.

Externally the homes have retained their English heritage aesthetic, with the beauty of their black and white timber and lime plaster panels, contrasted with Cheshire brick, lime slate, stone and thatched roof materials, all brought to life in this farmstead renaissance.

Pockets of verdant gardens, roses and hydrangea shrubs, and perfectly imperfect stone rockeries fold around the different shaped homes, the view just as serene looking out or in.

The Farmhouse interior matches the charm of its façade. The property has been meticulously designed to create truly characterful, cosy and luxury accommodation. Its bespoke layout arrangement maximises space and natural light, to reveal the stunning original beams, oak farmhouse doors and frames, stone and tile floors and ironmongery.

Stunning contemporary spaces, feature rooms and materials are used to enhance the beauty of the The Farmhouse’s natural heritage, with chrome fixtures, tiled flooring and ironmongery. Materials have been re-purposed to retain the historical interest and beauty of the homes, with timber vanity worktops in the bathrooms, Belfast sinks in the kitchen, an open-plan bedrooms and original porches framing front and garden doorways.

Hand selected fixtures and fittings serve the needs of the modern homeowner, whilst complementing the traditional ironmongery and farmhouse feel of the homes. Black chrome plug sockets, handles and wooden stair rails contrast with the walls’ natural hues.

The interior design fuses the best of English heritage with a modern aesthetic which values the clean, linear patterns of the beams, contrasted with curved and fluctuating walls, creating an environment where you will feel immediately at home.

The layout and rooms are mostly retained in their natural orientation. A flow between spaces is created by using open-plan extensions and sources of light to complement the originality and contemporary lifestyle

Carefully selected materials and earth tones highlight the original features of the homes, and create a sense of natural wellbeing.

New materials of engineered wood, iron and chrome, tiles and bespoke kitchen layouts complement the oak beams and wooden windows that frame each unique property.
