An incredibly unique, modernised Grade II listed home with magnificent grounds, extending to approximately 12 acres.
Description
A truly exceptional wing of a former country house, beautifully modernised and set within approximately 12 acres of magnificent grounds, offering complete privacy and a wealth of lifestyle amenities.
Dutton Lodge represents a rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable Grade II listed residence, forming part of a historic country house, discreetly positioned in a breathtaking rural setting. Meticulously refurbished and extended, the property combines period elegance with contemporary comforts and lifestyle features, making it ideal for both family living and grand-scale entertaining.
Approached via secure electric gates, a sweeping tree-lined driveway sets the tone for this exceptional home, flanked by formal lawns and mature specimen trees, culminating in a generous forecourt with ample parking and garaging.
Internally, the house is rich in character, with an abundance of original features including exposed oak beams, sash windows and oak flooring, all sympathetically blended with high-quality modern finishes. The kitchen is a warm and inviting heart of the home, featuring a traditional cream Aga, vaulted ceiling, and French doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and gardens. This space flows seamlessly into two charming reception rooms and a separate dining room, offering versatility for both family life and entertaining. A useful study, utility room, cloakroom, and large basement—ideal as a media or playroom—complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a generous and elegant suite, featuring sash windows with delightful garden views, an original fireplace, and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom with a freestanding Chadder & Co roll-top bath. Four further spacious bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, all with abundant natural light and outlooks over the surrounding countryside. Two additional bathrooms, a cleverly designed hidden playroom, and a laundry room serve the upper floors.
The grounds are without doubt one of Dutton Lodge’s most outstanding features. Extending to approximately 12 acres, they include immaculate formal gardens, paddocks ideal for equestrian use, a historic stable block, protected woodland, and a full-size football pitch. A variety of outdoor spaces—patios, courtyards, and a bespoke entertaining area—ensure that the grounds are as functional as they are beautiful.
Of particular note is the detached, newly renovated annexe — an extremely versatile space finished to an exceptional standard. It comprises a gymnasium, open-plan kitchen/living area, stylish bathroom, and a mezzanine bedroom, offering excellent guest or staff accommodation, or scope for multi-generational living.
Further highlights include a double garage, sauna, and a remarkable underground cocktail bar – a unique and memorable feature, perfect for entertaining.
Surrounded by open countryside and mature woodland, Dutton Lodge enjoys an enviable sense of seclusion while remaining accessible to the wider Cheshire region.
Location
Dutton Lodge occupies a wonderful position along Lodge Lane, in a large plot with impressive grounds extending to around 12 acres.
The nearby villages of Weaverham and Kingsley provide for everyday needs with a more comprehensive range of services in the towns of Northwich, Warrington and Knutsford.
There is a choice of private and state schooling within easy reach of the property, including The Grange at Hartford, Manchester Grammar and The King’s and Queen’s Schools in Chester.
Chester, along with Liverpool and Manchester, are all readily accessible, in addition to excellent motorway access from the M56 (approx. 5 miles). For travel further afield both Liverpool and Manchester are served by international airports. From Runcorn train station there is a rail service to London Euston via Crewe (from 2h45).
Sporting activities are well catered for with golf clubs at Delamere and Sandiway, motor racing at Oulton Park, sailing at Great Budworth and Polo at Little Budworth. There are also many lovely walks in the area.
