Dubthorn Farm is a delightful, charming and fully renovated 4 bedroom detached farmhouse, dating back in parts to the 17th Century and registered as a house of historical interest too! Exceptionally beautiful rendered elevations, with grounds and gardens extending to approx. 0.3 acres or thereabouts, nestled in the heart of Cheshire’s picturesque countryside. On the edge of the scenic Cheshire Peak and conveniently served by fast motorway, high-speed rail and international air links, Astbury is an ideal location for your family, home and business.
The Astbury community is served by the highly commended Astbury St Mary's Church of England Primary School, Astbury Golf Club (18 holes, plus pro-shop and fine clubhouse), the Glebe Farm rural shops and café, and the acclaimed Egerton Arms Country Inn, with its real ales and fine food. The village is at the centre of an extensive network of safe rural walks and tracks, including the Macclesfield Canal and Mow Cop.
Congleton offers a perfect blend of cultural and leisure activities, and well-rated schooling. It hosts a choice of independent and multiple shops, as well as regular markets and craft fairs. The Daneside Theatre and the town’s Jazz & Blues Festival enhance an active cultural scene.
Astbury Mere Country Park is ideal for easy exploration. With Congleton’s broad range of restaurant and bars, you can effortlessly unwind from the working week with family and friends. The town’s retail park offers a Marks & Spencer Simply Food, a comprehensive Boots, a large Tesco and more. The town boasts independent butchers, florists and newsagents as well as essential services such as chemists, doctors and dentists, and a gateway local hospital.
Astbury has outstanding transport and communications links :
•Immediate access to A34 and the new Congleton Link Road, providing
convenient main road travel to the North’s cities including Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool, and South to The Potteries, Newcastle under Lyme and Birmingham.
•Astbury is a 10 minute drive from junction 17 of the M6 Motorway, the
North West’s primary arterial route, providing easy access to the surrounding areas, towns and cities.
•Manchester International Airport is only 18 miles away, offering
direct flights to over 180 domestic and worldwide destinations.
•The major regional rail hub of Crewe is less than 12 miles by swift
main roads, and will incorporate the new HS2 line, providing London links in 55 minutes.
•Congleton’s own railway station is 2 miles away, and provides frequent
expresses to Manchester, and regular connections to Stoke on Trent and beyond.
Dubthorn Farm is substantially built and well-maintained. With most attractive elevations, it retains much of its original charm and character, offering well-presented extended accommodation throughout.
Its outside spaces must be highlighted: the large rear gardens and patio are a safe haven, ideal for families with young children ideal for any age group or gardener, as the grounds provide a spacious environment to socialise with friends and family. The driveway offers exterior parking for multiple cars.
On entering through the heavy oak door, the entrance vestibule with quarry tiled floor, delivers you to the dining room with exposed beamed walls and hugely attractive stone built open coal fireplace. From here an ancient oak framed doorway leads to a cosy room, currently used as a snug, and in the past a music room, and equally would suit as a perfect office or even a children's playroom. The large separate utility room is a seriously useful space with an abundance of storage, and comes with a separate cloakroom off. The inner hall provides the main staircase to the first floor, beneath which is the under-stairs store cupboard with loads of shelving and houses the Worcester Bosch oil fired central heating boiler. The main sitting room, enjoys a lovely aspect over the pretty gardens, complemented with its own cast iron multi fuel stove, and attractive light grey oak Karndean flooring.
We love the breakfast kitchen, with garden views and french doors opening out to the alfresco dining terrace. The kitchen is warmed via an electric Aga Range cooker, with 'dove grey' shaker style units, offering an abundance of storage. The kitchen surfaces are of smooth Corian, with moulded sink and integrated appliances such as induction hob, oven, dishwasher, two fridges and a freezer.
There are two staircases to the first floor, one of which leads to the main bedroom suite, with a galleried landing, off which is a stunningly luxurious bathroom complete with freestanding bath and large shower cubicle. The master bedroom enjoys a lovely garden aspect, and features built in bedroom furniture, with a secret Narnia door, providing access to and linking bedroom 2.
The second staircase, with a long central landing, provides doorways to the three further bedrooms, all of which are doubles and finally is the modern, spacious shower room.
A hugely gorgeous traditional home, with a magical sparkle of Cheshire!
