5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Lymm

A truly exceptional Grade II listed, five-bedroom detached period home with far-reaching views across open countryside, dating back to the 1600s. Initially refurbished in the 1880s and now fully sensitively modernised by the current owners.  Set within a substantial plot, on nearly three quarters an acre, and approached via a long gated shared driveway, the property blends historic character with modern technology and generous, flexible accommodation, including multiple outbuildings and self-contained living space above the garage.

Internally, the house is rich in original features such as mullioned windows, exposed beams, cast-iron fireplaces, timber latch doors and quarry tiled flooring, while also benefiting from contemporary upgrades including cinema and surround-sound systems, ceiling-integrated Wi-Fi mesh, underfloor heating in key areas and a high-specification kitchen/family room with island and Rangemaster stove. The layout offers a range of reception rooms, study areas, cellars, boot and utility rooms, and well-appointed bath and shower rooms, making it ideal for both family living and entertaining.

Externally, the grounds include lawns, mature trees, patio areas and a working water well, alongside a double garage, a refurbished dairy, piggery, summer house and additional outbuildings. The property enjoys a semi-rural setting with open views, yet benefits from mains gas and electricity, an eco septic tank and freehold tenure.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial historic home offering character, versatility and modern comforts in an idyllic countryside position.
