The farmhouse itself offers over 5,000 sq ft of living accommodation, and is surrounded by 61 acres of fields and woodland in an extremely peaceful and private rural Cheshire location.
The ground floor accommodation consists of a sitting room with open fireplace with original bread oven, a family room with stone fireplace and stove, and a drawing room with two bay windows, both with window seats, an exposed brick and cast iron open range, and finally an office with a bay window and window seat and open fireplace, and a small 'sun room'. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a large triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with a range of wall and base units, a four-door Aga and a door to a neighbouring fitted laundry, utility and boot room with downstairs WC and shower room. The property also benefits from a generous cellar.

The second floor has a large bedroom with a dressing area, a further double bedroom, a spacious T.V. Room or extra bedroom with central floor beam, and contemporary family shower room.<br /><br />The village of Wettenhall is in a rural location with a pub and church.

More extensive facilities can be found in the lovely market town of Nantwich, including an M&S Simply Food and large Sainsbury's superstore.
Communications links are excellent: The village enjoys easy access to a comprehensive road network providing easy access to the M6 and the A55 North Wales Expressway, offering excellent links to the M53, main motorway network, Liverpool and Manchester airports and key regional centres in both Wales and England. Crewe station offers regular direct services to central London, and Liverpool and Manchester airports offer scheduled flights to most major cities in Europe and beyond.
The area offers a wide range of state schooling including Calveley Primary Academy, Hebden Green Community School, Oaklands School and Tarporley High school and Sixth Form College, all three secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted. A good selection of noted independent schools includes The Grange, Abbey Gate, Ellesmere College, and The King’s and Queen’s Schools in Chester.<br /><br />Towns Green Farm is located at the end of a quiet country lane, making this a particularly private and peaceful location. It is approached through double iron gates over a cattle grid, the driveway leading to the large courtyard formed by the house and traditional Cheshire brick barns, including the barn flat with vaulted living room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, bedroom, dressing room and bathroom.
The outbuildings, extending in total to more than 35,000 sq. Ft., include an equestrian yard with extensive stabling including loose boxes, tack room and foaling boxes, as well as numerous modern barns, one used as a indoor ménage, together with substantial livestock housing and silage clamps set further away from the house. There are fenced paddocks for livestock, including graduated areas for mares and foals, an outdoor arena, lunge pen and the bonus of a track for riding out within the land. Additionally, there are two small ponds and a fenced copse with chicken coop.
The gardens feature level lawns with flower and shrub borders, a vegetable garden and orchard, a swimming pool with paved surround, covered seating area and pump room - all in a walled garden with woodland views. The grounds also feature an all-weather tennis court, numerous seating areas and terraces on all sides of the house. There are far-reaching views over the paddocks and countryside, including several acres of woodland surrounding a small lake.
The equestrian facilities include a 54m x 26m indoor arena, a 60m x 20m outdoor arena, a stable yard with 11 stables, 4 foaling bays, tack room, rug rooms, feed room and further barns to incorporate any additional requirements. The paddocks are all enclosed by post and rail fencing, many with field shelters and mains water supplied.
(nb Footpath: The footpath currently running through the equestrian yard (not visible from the house or gardens) has an application in the later stages of process to re-route around the edge of the property boundary.)
