Location

Just outside the village of Allostock, a lovely rural community set amidst undulating Cheshire countryside about five miles to the south of the market town of Knutsford.

The area has fantastic leisure facilities with golf courses, livery, sports clubs and wonderful walks directly from the house to country pubs and bridle paths. The main private schools have a coach service from local villages and Terra Nova School is within easy reach. The Grange at Hartford and Kings School Macclesfield are both within striking distance.

The area is well placed for access to the M6 Motorway at Knutsford or Middlewich and Manchester International Airport is about 30 minutes' drive away and the main west coast line can be picked up in Wilmslow, Macclesfield or Crewe with London Euston under two hours away.

There is regular open water swimming sessions at the water park, plus good walking and running routes.

Description

Boundary Farmhouse is an attractive Cheshire brick property that has been fully renovated throughout, beautifully positioned in a sought-after waterside location. The property forms part of a small, exclusive development on the banks of Boundary Water Park. Comprising just three neighbouring properties, the development offers an enclave feel, with thoughtful planning ensuring privacy and unique aspects for each home.

Boundary Farmhouse occupies a prime position with its own private entrance and a West-facing plot, ideal for enjoying the afternoon and evening sun.

Electric gates open to reveal immediate views of the water, with a sweeping gravelled driveway leading to the house. There is ample parking for numerous vehicles, in addition to a new, timber-framed double garage with an integral workshop.

The property has undergone an extensive renovation, taken back to brick, and the improvements include rewiring, new gas central heating, a new roof with insulation, damp proofing, noise suppression, and full decoration throughout. The highlight of the renovations is the new extension to the North elevation. This double-height addition, with a pitched roof and solar panels, spans 395 sq. ft. and houses a stunning open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area. This space seamlessly flows onto the West-facing patio through bi-fold doors, offering breathtaking views across the water park.

The kitchen is a particular highlight, featuring a top-of-the-range Mobilia German design with quartz granite countertops and Neff appliances, including a warming drawer and wine fridge. The stylish oak parquet flooring is complemented by underfloor heating, while the bi-fold doors create a perfect indoor/outdoor living space—ideal for socialising and enjoying the outdoors.

Off the kitchen, a well-equipped utility room offers a sink and additional storage.

The original part of the house has also been beautifully remodelled. The drawing room, with its wood panelling, built-in speakers, and a new log burner, creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Newly installed Victorian-style radiators add to the charm. Beyond, two versatile rooms are currently arranged as offices but offer numerous configuration options—whether as a playroom, gym, or additional living space.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a standout feature, offering triple aspect windows with stunning lake views. It benefits from a pitched roof, built-in wardrobes, and a luxurious open en-suite bathroom with twin vanity sinks, original beams, and doors. The second floor includes two further double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle.

The second floor also offers additional potential, with two further bedrooms and a landing study area.

The technology throughout the house is impressive, featuring a Hive heating system, phone-controlled alarm, electric gates, and external lighting on timers for added convenience.

Externally, the garden wraps around all four sides of the farmhouse. There is a south-facing lawn, with stepping stones and a feature well, all enclosed by wrought-iron perimeter fencing. The expansive West-facing lawn beyond the main patio offers generous green space for outdoor enjoyment.
