Description
The Grange is a delightful Grade II listed Georgian house offering amazing family accommodation imbued with character and elegant period style.
The rare sale of a property of this standing is enhanced by the inclusion of a 4000 sq ft coach house, also Grade II listed, with adjoining stables, tack room and garaging which offer tremendous scope to convert to either ancillary accommodation, a leisure suite or a separate dwelling, subject of course to necessary permissions.
The property stands within extensive gardens with a ha-ha, En Tout Cas tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool with a pool house. The sweeping carriage driveway leads past rolling lawns and topiary hedges from the formal entrance while a walled vegetable garden and greenhouses lie to the rear of the coach house.
To the rear of the house is a walled family garden and the grounds have extensive mature specimen trees and shrubs. A field to the south of the property is about 6.86 acres with the gardens and a further 51.61 acres of grazing land is included in the sale.

In a glorious rural yet not isolated setting within the countryside community of North Rode, The Grange is one of the principal houses of the area.
There are wonderful views towards the hills including local landmarks like Bosley Cloud and the edge of the Peak District National Park is only three miles away. The area is great for outdoor activities and there is good hacking, pleasant footpaths and sailing at nearby Rudyard Lake or Redesmere sailing clubs.
A footpath along the lane provides access to pretty Gawsworth village and the charming Grade II listed farmhouse pub The Harrington Arms, perfect for a walk to enjoy its lovely food and great hospitality on a Summer evening or for Sunday Lunch.
Both Macclesfield and Congleton have excellent shopping, restaurants and bistros, Marks and Spencer Food and many specialist shops and services, while the market town of Macclesfield has the main West Coast line railway station placing London Euston only 1hr 42mins away and Manchester City Centre from 22 minutes. The M6 at Sandbach is eleven miles away for commuters to commercial centres.
Terra Nova Preparatory School is a 20 minute drive and Kings School Macclesfield is a 15 minute drive. In the State sector, all the local primary and the senior school are rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’.
A range of former barns nearby were converted to residential use a number of years ago and ensure The Grange is not isolated although it remains very private.
