Ash House is a handsome brick and stone built period home with a wealth of charming character features including large sash, bay and arched windows and an array of elegant, high-ceilinged rooms with ornate cornice, skirting and feature fireplaces. In total the residence offers almost 8,000 sq. ft. of lightfilled internal accommodation across three floors.
The main entrance opens to a grand tiled and welcoming reception hall with dual double doors that flow into the traditional formal dining room. Further is a 37 ft. drawing room with bay window and fireplace, a family room with wide glazed folding doors to the terrace, a sitting room with stone fireplace and bespoke cabinetry and a luxurious garden room with domed skylight and panoramic garden views. The expansive kitchen features an array of country-style cabinetry, with a central multi-level island and inset gas hob, built-in
cream AGA range cooker, fine stone flooring and ample space for informal dining. Further is a second hallway and boot room with access to the single garage, and a well-appointed utility room.
The first-floor houses four unique bedrooms with a variety of retained original features. The large principal room enjoys a generous en suite bathroom with marble-topped built-in bathtub and dual sinks and a walk-in shower, with the adjacent bedroom having another stylish en suite bathroom and a sizable dressing room. Both rooms open directly to the sun terrace. One further bedroom enjoys an en suite bathroom, with an additional cloakroom and storage space completing the floor. Above are two additional well-proportioned rooms, one with a dressing room, a family bathroom and a quiet study.
Land
Lot 1 includes two 4-acre grass paddocks positioned either side of the driveway, and some additional parcels of land surrounding the farm buildings.
Gardens and Grounds
The property sits in substantial landscaped grounds, with a large sweeping gravelled in-and-out driveway and attached garage and a variety of stonework, shrubbery and carefully trained espaliered planting adorning its façade. The expansive garden comprises an abundance of lush level lawns bordered by mature tree lines, shrubs and neat topiary throughout. A paved sun terrace offers the ideal spot for al fresco dining, with an established vegetable plot, greenhouse and
planters, a walled decorative garden and courtyard with mature wisteria, decorative formal fish pond, fruit trees and a meadow.
Integrated into back of gardens, behind the house, lies a self-contained office with delightful views through to the farmland beyond.
Buildings
On the opposite side of the driveway to the house lies a traditional red brick building containing a tack room, store and stables for twelve horses. Linked to this in a L-shape and positioned parallel with the back of the house lies a brick-built farm building which provides a neat divide between the house and grounds, and the more commercial farm buildings that sit beyond. These buildings
were historically used to run a dairy herd, but have more recently been used as stores and potting sheds, accommodating livestock, and storing machinery, silage and straw. They offer an ingoing owner the opportunity to continue using them for agricultural purposes, or for alternative uses subject to the necessary consents.
Situation
Ash House is a wonderful country house situated in a scenic and peaceful part of south Cheshire.
Located down a small country lane, the house sits at the head of a tree-lined driveway in an elevated
position with views across open countryside in all directions.
Locally, the house is situated less than one mile from the village of Faddiley on the A534 Wrexham Road and three miles from Bunbury, a quaint rural village which benefits from a primary school, popular church, a village store, sports and social clubs and several pubs.
For a wider range of amenities, the nearby market town of Nantwich offers numerous supermarkets, a weekly market, individual shops, services, and educational and leisure facilities, including a large swimming centre.
A short distance further from Nantwich lies Crewe which has a mainline train station providing services to London Euston from 1 hour 37 minutes. Junction 16 on the M6 is 14 miles from Ash House.
The area offers a wide range of state primary and secondary schooling together with a good selection of independent schools including Abbey Gate, Jefferson House and The King’s and Queen’s Schools in Chester.
