Occupying an exceptional position close to the heart of one of Cheshire's most sought-after villages, Bayley House represents a truly rare and exciting opportunity. Set within approximately seven acres of extensive gardens, grounds and paddocks, with dual road frontage to both Manor Lane and Congleton Road, this substantial former commercial nursery offers enormous potential for a wide range of purchasers — whether seeking a spacious family home, a combined residential and commercial enterprise, or a longer-term redevelopment project.
The House
The principal residence extends to well in excess of 4,000 sq ft arranged over two floors, with a ground floor footprint approaching 3,300 sq ft alone. The accommodation is both generous and versatile, with the majority of bedroom accommodation thoughtfully positioned on the ground floor alongside extensive garaging and integral storage — ideal for those seeking single-level living within a large family home.
The ground floor provides a living room, dining room, breakfast room, breakfast kitchen, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a utility room. To the first floor, a superb family room and guest bedroom with en suite provide a private and spacious retreat. The property now requires a comprehensive programme of modernisation, presenting an excellent opportunity for purchasers to create a truly outstanding home tailored to their own specification.
The Barn
To the side of the principal dwelling sits an impressive two-storey brick barn of just under 1,400 sq ft. Offering potential for a variety of uses — subject to the necessary consents — the barn could conceivably be linked to the main house, significantly enhancing the overall living or working space available.
The Grounds and Commercial Yard
The grounds are a real highlight of this unique property. In addition to a sweeping driveway and attractive lawned gardens, the site incorporates a substantial commercial yard which was formerly home to a thriving nursery business. A range of greenhouses and polytunnels remain in situ, along with two paddocks providing extensive grazing land. The combination of residential, horticultural and agricultural elements creates a holding of exceptional breadth and flexibility, with potential — subject to planning — for future redevelopment of the site.
Prospective purchasers should note that should planning permission be granted on the paddock land, the vendors intend to include an overage clause within the contract. Full details are available upon request.
Location
Bayley House enjoys an outstanding village position, within comfortable walking distance of Holmes Chapel's excellent range of amenities. The village offers a major supermarket (Aldi), several smaller supermarkets, a precinct, and numerous outlets including a fish and chip shop, pizzeria, chemist, library and bakery. The shopping precinct also benefits from a good selection of independent boutiques, pharmacies and hairdressers, alongside several pubs and restaurants offering cuisines ranging from Italian and Indian to Chinese. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Cranage Hall — an exclusive health spa and leisure facility just a mile from the village — offers an indoor heated pool, tennis courts and fitness facilities.
Schools
Holmes Chapel is particularly well regarded as a family location. The village is served by two primary schools and one secondary school. These are Holmes Chapel Primary School, Hermitage Primary School and the highly regarded Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School and Sixth Form College, which is well known for its strong academic and extracurricular programme. For the private sector, Terra Nova preparatory school is also within a short drive.
Commuter Links
Holmes Chapel railway station, within short walking distance of the property, sits on the Crewe to Manchester line, a spur of the West Coast Main Line, with regular stopping services between Manchester Piccadilly and Crewe. Manchester city centre is reachable in approximately 40 minutes, making this an ideal base for commuters. Junction 18 of the M6 motorway is approximately one mile away, providing swift onward connections to Manchester, Liverpool and beyond.
Bayley House is a property of genuine rarity — a substantial family home with land, commercial infrastructure and development potential, all within easy reach of a thriving Cheshire village. Early viewings are strongly recommended.
Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries regarding planning and commercial use. All measurements are approximate. The overage clause applies to the paddock land only — full terms available on request.
