The town offers a comprehensive range of services including supermarket, a wide selection of restaurants, pubs and cafes as well as a GP practise and Post Office. A range of comprehensive amenities is available in the nearby town of Crewe being some 6 miles distant.
Local recreational facilities include golf at Sandbach, Queens Park, Crewe and Portal, cricket clubs in Middlewich and Elworth in addition to Sandbach. For those seeking outdoor pursuits there is extensive walking throughout the local area and beyond into the Peak District, a selection of local shoots, mountain biking and for the equestrian enthusiast there is open country nearby together with numerous bridleways and lanes for hacking out. There is horse racing at Chester and Bangor-on-Dee and various professional riding schools and livery available.
On the educational front there are state primary and secondary schools locally including Wimboldsey with an “Outstanding” Ofsted rating. For those seeking private education there is The Grange School Hartford known for its sporting and educational excellence.
Commuting to the commercial centres of the north west and beyond is straightforward with easy access to the M6 and the property is within 6 miles of Crewe train station providing a direct 1hr 35 service to London and a regular service to Liverpool and Birmingham. There are international airports at Manchester and Liverpool, respectively.
The Accommodation
Newfield Hall is a substantial country home constructed of Cheshire brick under a slate roof with cast iron downspouts, carved finials and Wisteria clad elevations. Whilst the property is adjoined to the neighbouring farmhouse, the facade is typical of a Georgian residence with twin gable end and symmetrical front which is replicated in the interior by the size of the rooms and layout of the accommodation being arranged over 2 floors with the benefit of oil central heating. Whilst Newfield Hall would benefit from a small scheme of modernisation, the house has many period features with moulded ceiling cornices, elegant geometric staircase, original sash windows and shutters and an ambiance of grandeur through the superbly proportioned rooms.
The property is accessed through an ornate porch having stone cornicing, parapet and ball finials into the inner hall. To either side of the inner hall are the principal reception rooms comprising drawing room and dining room. The dining room is elegant and well proportioned, containing a feature marble fireplace believed to have come from Adderley Hall, Shropshire with and a pleasant aspect over the gardens to the front. The drawing room is equally impressive with a feature fireplace with carved surround and a French window with an uninterrupted garden aspect. Beyond is the sitting room with fireplace and could be utilised as a morning room or study should one wish. The kitchen is particularly impressive with handmade Sycamore wall and base units under granite worksurfaces incorporating a first-generation oil converted Aga, Falcon 5 ring gas cooker, sink unit and fitted corner breakfast area. Beyond the kitchen is the Utility Room with a range of wall and base units with excellent storage and washing facilities. From the inner hall access is gained to the extensive cellars made up of 4 rooms with wine bins and cold store and rear boot room with an adjoining WC and shower room and staircase to the fully equipped office.
The first-floor accommodation is accessed via an elegant turned staircase with ornate timber handrail onto a large landing beneath a hipped lantern. From the landing access is gained to the master suite comprising a spacious master bedroom with adjoining ensuite bathroom and neighbouring dressing room with built in wardrobes. Whilst there are a further 5 bedrooms, shower room, family bathroom and a separate WC, there is scope to create ensuites and dressing rooms if required.
Outside
The property is accessed over a long drive onto a parking area beneath the north west front by double garages and workshops housing the Worcester boiler. To the west of the house are the formal garden which are predominantly laid to lawn with rose beds, mature perennials all within a brick perimeter. The gardens have a variety of mature trees including Cedar and Magnolia in addition to a well-established Orchard having Pear, Plum, Cherry and Apple. The house is clad with a beautiful, mature Wisteria and Ivy below with a patio running the length of the southern elevation. The garden is extended into a vegetable garden with a fruit cage, soft fruit and various vegetables. A profound feature of the gardens is the small summer house which is an elaborate Grade II listed former privy built of red brick under a hipped roof. Internally the building is in poor repair but remontants are still in place with arched recess and moulded ceiling cornicing making a potentially very opulent outhouse. In all the area extends to approximately 1.34 acres (0.54ha).
