Constructed around 1905, this distinguished Georgian farmhouse, Overton Green Farm, stands on a substantial plot at the edge of Smallwood village. The property has undergone thoughtful renovations over the past six years, showcasing both its traditional elegance and modern convenience. It features spacious living areas with large windows that provide lovely views over the surrounding fields and its own pasture land.
The interior retains numerous original details such as decorative fireplaces, coved ceilings, and charming tiled flooring. However, it also benefits from contemporary enhancements including double glazing and a new roof installed in 2016. The layout includes an inviting entrance hall leading to two generous reception rooms, a sizeable farmhouse kitchen complete with a boot room and utility space, along with a convenient wet room on the ground floor. The upper level comprises four bedrooms, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms.
Accessed via a secure gated entryway along a lengthy gravel drive, the property offers ample parking alongside an extensive steel-framed barn at the rear. This well-fitted barn provides significant storage options as well as stabling suitable for up to seven horses, with potential to expand.
Outdoor spaces include formal gardens surrounded by established hedges and trees, alongside paddocks and a generous pasture field featuring a natural pond. The overall area extends to approximately 13.45 acres. The primary barn is versatile enough for both private use or potential commercial equestrian ventures (pending necessary permissions). The land itself is classified as Grade III agricultural land ideal for grazing or grass production.
As this community-oriented area boasts excellent transport links to nearby towns and cities via road and rail networks, it is particularly appealing for those looking for investment potential with possibilities of alternative use or conversion of outbuildings – buyers are encouraged to engage with Cheshire East Council regarding planning inquiries. Reference should also be made to the claw-back clause concerning potential uplift in value from non-agricultural planning permissions until 2043.
In summary, this property offers significant renovation potential while providing a blend of rural charm and modern living.
