An equestrian dream house for sale with beamed ceilings, and its own indoor riding school
Towns Green Farm in Cheshire offers some 5,000sq ft of space as well as more than 61 acres of fields and woodlands.


A peaceful and secluded country retreat, Towns Green Farm, at Wettenhall, sits to the north of the A55, five miles or so from Bunbury and 4½ miles east of Tarporley, in Cheshire.
Strutt & Parker in Chester quote a guide price of £2.25m for the classic Victorian house, which comes with more than 35,000sq ft of traditional Cheshire brick barns and outbuildings.
The impressive main farmhouse offers more than 5,000sq ft of living accommodation, all surrounded by more than 61 acres of fields and woodland.
The interiors cater for easy family living on three floors, with three reception rooms, an office and a large, triple-aspect, kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor.
Above, there is a large principal bedroom suite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor; and two/three further bedrooms and a modern shower room on the second floor.
Outside, the outbuildings include an equestrian yard with extensive stabling, numerous modern barns — one is used as an indoor riding school — and livestock buildings set well away from the house.
The land is split into well-fenced paddocks, with graduated areas for mares and foals, an outdoor school, lunge pen and a track for riding out within the farm boundary.
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Towns Green Farm is for sale at £2.25 million via Strutt & Parker — see more pictures or enquire with the agent for further details.
