A distinguished Grade II listed country house of historic provenance, believed to date from 1640, offering beautifully restored accommodation, set within delightful gardens.
Description
A truly outstanding part-timbered detached country residence, beautifully positioned within mature landscaped gardens and enjoying far-reaching views across open countryside. This remarkable Grade II listed home combines period charm with timeless architectural elegance, offering a rare opportunity in a picturesque rural setting around half a mile from the heart of Barthomley village.
Formerly part of the Duchy of Lancaster estate, Cherry Tree Farm is a superb detached country residence of part-timbered and brick construction under a tiled roof, occupying an enviable position approached via electrically operated gates and a sweeping gravel driveway.
Over the past three years, there has been an extensive programme of investment and sensitive restoration, resulting in a home that blends original 17th-century features with high-quality contemporary enhancements. The interior exudes warmth and character, with exposed ceiling beams, original wall timbers, and four versatile reception rooms that reflect the timeless charm of its period heritage.
The accommodation provides generous and atmospheric living spaces, perfectly suited for both family life and entertaining, with the flexibility typical of a house of this age and stature.
In addition to the main house, plans have been professionally prepared by Dobson Jackman Architects of Macclesfield for the sensitive restoration and conversion of the existing outbuilding, this has not been submitted for planning but would include a guest bedroom and bathroom, alongside a modest infill extension to create a single-storey, two-bedroom ancillary dwelling – ideal for guest accommodation, extended family or lifestyle use.
Upon entering Cherry Tree Farm through a solid oak door, you're immediately enveloped in a sense of character. The welcoming reception hall, centred around an open fireplace with a wood-burning stove, sets the tone — with its exposed wall timbers, flagstone floor, and soft ambient lighting offering a quiet introduction to the home’s historic charm.
The principal reception rooms unfold gracefully from here, a collection of elegant, atmospheric spaces, each rich in period detail. The drawing room radiates warmth and refinement, while the adjacent dining room, anchored by a striking stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, provides a perfect setting for both intimate suppers and more formal occasions. The sitting room is a wonderfully relaxed space, bathed in natural light from leaded windows and French doors that open directly onto the garden.
At the heart of the house lies the kitchen/breakfast room, a beautifully designed space that blends bespoke craftsmanship with country sophistication. A four-oven electric aga takes pride of place beneath an oak mantle, surrounded by hand-built cabinetry, granite worktops, and a Belfast sink. French doors open onto a sunlit terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, while a traditional stable door adds to the farmhouse appeal. A utility room and two cloakrooms provide practical support to the ground floor.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is a generous size, with original beams, leaded windows, and views across the surrounding countryside. A large dressing room offers extensive fitted storage, and the adjoining bathroom is exquisitely appointed with a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower, travertine finishes, and classic fittings.
Three further bedrooms are beautifully proportioned, each retaining their own unique character with exposed wall timbers and leaded light windows. These are served by a luxurious family bathroom, again finished in natural stone and featuring both a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.
Cherry Tree Farm is approached via a sweeping gravelled driveway, which curves gracefully towards a large parking area adjacent to the house and garaging. Discreet exterior lighting and garden illumination add atmosphere and functionality, with outside power points positioned for convenience. The oil tank is tucked away from view, serving the house’s central heating system.
Set to one side, a handsome brick-built range under a tiled roof provides excellent ancillary space. This includes a generous double garage with mezzanine storage, power, and lighting, along with a large tool store or workshop, also with a loft area above, ideal for a variety of practical or hobby uses.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property thoughtfully landscaped and immaculately maintained, offering year-round structure and interest. A flagged terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining, leading onto sweeping lawns interspersed with mature trees, flowering shrubs, wisteria, and climbing roses along with an ornamental fish pond, complete with filtration system.
To the side, a productive kitchen garden is set within its own defined area, with topiary and specimen planting enhancing the setting. The principal garden enjoys a southerly orientation, affording exceptional views across open countryside, a truly idyllic backdrop to this remarkable home.
Location
Cherry Tree Farm enjoys a peaceful yet highly accessible position, just half a mile from the charming village of Barthomley — a historic and picturesque rural settlement known for its beautiful sandstone church and the renowned thatched White Lion public house. Surrounded by open countryside, the area is a haven for walking, cycling, and outdoor pursuits, offering a true taste of Cheshire country life.
Despite its idyllic setting, the property is exceptionally well connected. The thriving market town of Alsager lies just three miles away and offers a wide range of amenities, including well-regarded schools, restaurants, cafés, and independent shops. The nearby village of Betley (4 miles) provides further local amenities, including a village shop and post office, primary school, church, two pubs, and a cricket ground — all contributing to a vibrant village community. The Broughton Arms pub and restaurant, located less than two miles from the property, offers relaxed riverside dining.
For the commuter, Cherry Tree Farm is ideally positioned. Junction 16 of the M6 is just one mile away, and Crewe station, five miles distant, provides fast rail connections to London Euston (from 1 hour 30 minutes) and Manchester Piccadilly (from 40 minutes). International travel is also straightforward, with Manchester, Liverpool John Lennon, and Birmingham airports all within easy driving distance.
The historic market town of Nantwich is just eight miles away — widely regarded as one of Cheshire’s most attractive towns, second only to Chester in its number of historic buildings. Nantwich offers a wide selection of shopping, dining, educational and recreational facilities, as well as a thriving cultural and community scene.
