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 Styal, 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 natural timber, Cheshire brick, lime plaster panels, slate, stone and thatched roof materials brought to life in this farmstead modern renaissance.

Each home’s interior matches the charm of its façade. Minimal disruption has been made to ensure maximum reveal of the stunning original beam and stone features, with a meticulously designed layout to create characterful, cosy and luxury accommodation.

Stunning contemporary spaces, feature rooms and materials are used to enhance the beauty of the homes’ natural heritage. Full-height windows have been incorporated into their design to maximise the light that filters through each home, and to bring the quaint environment inside.

The Stables has been imaginatively reorganised to provide contemporary living space, whilst retaining the charm and character of its cosy reception rooms.

The home is centred around a staircase that enters the property’s original Billiard Room, now repurposed as a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/living room.

The interior design fuses the best of English heritage with a modern aesthetic which values clean, linear spaces, creating an environment where you will feel immediately at home.

Layout and rooms are mostly retained in their natural orientation and charm, whilst creating a flow between spaces using open plan extensions and sources of light to complement the originality and modern-day 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, chrome, tiles and bespoke kitchen layouts complement the oak beams and wooden windows that frame each unique property.

Entering into a spacious hallway with a useful utility/boot room and toilet, the ground floor flows into a living area that is enclosed by original internal walls. The home is centred around the staircase that enters the original billiard room, that has now been repurposed as a stunning open plan kitchen dining/living room. Two sets of timber double doors welcome natural light in
from the garden.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, each with their own ensuite. Bedroom three is entered through an extra vestibule area, useful for storage. The master bedroom is accessed along a spacious landing, with a separate dressing room framed by its own window. The ensuite features a heritage bath, with unique tiled shower and toilet. The master bedroom enjoys dual aspect views out to the communal and private gardens.
