" FULL ADDRESS Park Farm Cottage, Crowley CW9 6NX

Scenic seclusion
With unspoiled views over the Cheshire countryside, Park Farm Cottage combines character, history and a love for the outdoors, set back beyond a gated entrance within the courtyard of a leisurely working cattle farm. With minimal farm traffic, sense the peace and tranquility immediately upon arrival.

OWNER QUOTE When we first moved here it felt like a weekend retreat from which we never returned!

Parking is ample, with space for multiple cars, whilst a pedestrian gate leads to a neatly landscaped front garden, with gravel borders, seating areas and pretty plantings.

Step through into the entrance porch, where built in benches mingle with exposed Cheshire brick, providing a perching space for the doffing and donning of coats and boots.

Light filled living
Beyond, a part glazed stable door provides access into the main home, where ahead, the kitchen dining room is awash with light, flowing in through windows to the front and French doors at the rear.

Originally built as part of the Arley Estate, the stunning original timbers, sourced from reclaimed ships on the docks of Liverpool, have been lovingly exposed by the current owners, creating a clear distinction between the functionality of spaces whilst cultivating a sociable and integrated way of living.

OWNER QUOTE We wanted to create an inviting feel, we wanted to bring people together.

Cleaned, dressed and showcased, the beams serve as inspiration for a home in which natural products and earthy tones and textures prevail. With its fresh, light and airy aesthetic, natural products are used as much as possible.

Classic appeal for contemporary living
Crisp white walls and skirtings help to showcase the natural hue of the 17th century oak beams, whilst the classic, hand painted Shaker style kitchen cabinetry is topped in oak, sanded and oiled to bring out its warmth. Throughout the ground floor and in two of the bedrooms, oak plank flooring retains the farm cottage feel. With space for a fridge freezer and dishwasher, appliances include a sink, oven and induction hob.

Off the kitchen, the utility room accommodates the new boiler, serving the refitted piping system of Park Farm Cottage, heated by new, convector radiators.
With access outdoors from both the utility room and dining area of the kitchen, Park Farm Cottage is a home very much in harmony with its surroundings. Wine and dine before stepping out through the French doors to savour an evening drink, whilst watching the sun drop down over the horizon from one of the three patio seating areas available.

Warmth and welcome
Warmth emanates from the large wood burning stove in the main dining room, opening up to the left of the front door, where exposed post and beams once again offer distinction between the dining and living areas at Park Farm Cottage. Nestled within a Cheshire brick style surround and with a big York stone hearth, reclaimed from the garden, this powerful stove radiates heat throughout the home from morning til night.

A second log burner can be found in the lounge beyond, in the angled brick fireplace beneath a thick wooden lintel.

Opening up off these rooms is a versatile room to the rear, which could serve as a study or separate snug, but is currently utilised as a playroom. French doors again provide instant access out to the garden where panoramic views over the Cheshire countryside can be seen.

A door opening from this room provides access to a useful ground floor shower room, also furnished with wash basin and WC.

Sweet dreams
Stairs lead up to the first floor landing, where the natural light flow increases. Making your way along to the right, arrive at the fourth bedroom, where windows to two aspects create a welcome and airy feel, showcasing the far reaching views over garden and countryside.

Next door, original beams are revealed in the walls and sloped ceiling of bedroom three, currently serving as a home office, where light streams in through a Velux above and a shuttered window to the side. Oak plank flooring extends underfoot.

Along the landing, arrive at the main bedroom, whose characterful roofline and antique beams instil a comfort and warmth. Spacious and light, there is ample room for a king size bed, with high roof light, shuttered window and oak plank flooring.

Across the landing, the WC is situated directly neighbouring the bathroom, beautifully furnished with low cast iron style radiator, claw foot bath with showerhead attachment and wash basin. Exposed brick harmonises with the original flooring underfoot.

At the end of the landing, the guest bedroom is a spacious and bright sanctuary, with ample space for a king size bed and wardrobes, and views out over the farm.

Panoramic views
Home and garden are intertwined at Park Farm Cottage, with the setting and nature of the surroundings being so much a part of its unique charm.

From the garden, enjoy 360 degree views out over the garden and fields, lined with protected oak trees open views, courtesy of post and rail fencing, make the fields feel almost a continuation of the garden.

Laid to lawn and with fruit trees and a myriad pathways and patios upon which to follow the sun as it moves around the home, this is a garden simply made for enjoyment, entertaining and unwinding.

Foundations are laid here to take the potential for outdoor dining and entertaining one step further, with underground ducting laid for the provision of feeding a water or electricity feed out, should you wish to develop an outdoor kitchen. This has also been done on the concrete area of the driveway, for the creation of an outdoor office or gym, perhaps within the remit of a permissible development.

OWNER QUOTE We tried to create big communal spaces alongside quiet seating areas, where you can watch the sunset. Looking back at the home, you can appreciate its size and scope.

Sit back and watch the world go by. The natural world, that is, with wildlife in abundance, particularly owls and birds of prey.

Out and about
Accessible but very private, Park Farm Cottage enjoys a quiet and secluded feel, and is ideal for those who love the sense of being out and about in nature.

Follow the public footpath and explore the locale. Just five minutes walk takes you into the woodland, via various pastures.

Equine enthusiasts are well placed for all things horse related; Park Farm Cottage backs onto fields frequented by horses, with a riding school nearby.

Tranquil and secluded, yet by no means isolated, it is only a short car ride back to reality, with Knutsfords shops and bars a mere 15 minute drive away, with motorway links to the M6, M62 and M56 also close by, bringing Liverpool, Manchester and their airports within an hours drive.
