Far Slack Farm is a well-placed, pretty farm just 14 miles from Wilmslow in Cheshire and 15 miles from Manchester Airport. The house is constructed of stone elevations under a Welsh blue slate roof and is believed to date back to the mid 17th century. Recently, an extensive programme of refurbishment including re-wiring, re-plumbing and re-decoration has taken place which included installing a four oven Aga in the kitchen and log burning stoves in the hall and drawing room; both the master bathroom and the family bathroom have traditional caste iron claw-footed baths.
In total the accommodation comprises entrance porch, reception hall, dining room, farmhouse kitchen, drawing room, study, shower room/WC and upstairs a master bedroom suite plus four further bedrooms, family bathroom and a first floor sitting room/games room. The house also has a self-contained apartment with two bedrooms and a living room.

The remainder of the building with the new apartment has been converted into four loose boxes; there is also a detached stone barn opposite the house which has potential for conversion subject to planning permissions.
The house comes with just over 67 acres of land which includes a garden with a productive vegetable patch, a large duck pond, orchard, tree-lined driveway and extensive paddocks. There are also further lots of land available by separate negotiation.
The house is located just four miles from Marple Bridge for amenities, and is well positioned for local schools. The nearby railway station at Marple is just a short drive away.
The guide price is £1,250,000. For further information please contact Jackson Stops & Staff on 01625 540340; www.jacksonstops.co.uk.
