General Remarks - Comment by Mark Johnson FRICS @ Baker Wynne and Wilson
Discreetly nestled within private informal garden surroundings screened by the canopies of mature trees and hedging a long driveway sets this fabulous house well back from the public highway. Arranged over two floors, extending generously to over 2000 sqft, with a obscured attachment to the adjoining property at the rear the accommodation is filled with many original and reclaimed items that add to the rustic individual characteristics of this most desirable landmark village house.
The front elevation faces due west and is perfectly placed to catch the evening sun.
Vendors Interview - “ We absolutely love everything about Beech House and will be so sad to leave the family home, but we know we will have the comfort of many fabulous memories to take away with us “
“ We have occupied the house for almost 40 years and have completed various renovations and extensions purposefully retaining much of the original character and fittings - thus offering a unique opportunity for the new owners to establish themselves with their own choices and enhancements.
Beech House was originally built c.1840, and for much of the 20th century formed the home and practice of Audlem Village Doctors. Considerably larger than most of the other local properties, it had the distinction of being amongst Audlem’s premier properties - having extensive gardens and surrounding land, a carriage drive and in-keeping with the fashion of the day, its own full sized tennis court (which was subsequently used to build 38 Salford in the 1980s). When the doctors’ partnership eventually became that of father and son, the decision was then taken to build a new stand-alone surgery nearby, enabling Beech House to be subdivided to accommodate the two families independently.
Some locals still refer to Beech house as the West Wing which is very fitting in terms of the original stature it enjoyed.
Believed to be the only second time to be offered for sale in over 100 years, Beech House presents the rarest of opportunities to acquire an imposing Chesire village residence, in a delightful, secluded setting within the conservation area and we sincerely hope you take up our invitation to view and fully appreciate our much-loved family home “
Out And About - Beech House occupies a practically secluded position 800 yards from Audlem centre. The village was mentioned in the Doomsday book as Aldelyme, and Edward 1 granted a market charter in 1295. Audlem is on the Shropshire Union canal, which has a run of 15 locks, designed by Thomas Telford to raise the canal 93 feet from the Cheshire plain to the Shropshire plain. The River Weaver passes West of the village. The sought after, award winning, village of Audlem caters for daily needs with local co-operative store, post office, newsagents, dry cleaners, butchers, flower shop, restaurant, cafe, three public houses and a medical centre. Nantwich (7 miles) offers a more comprehensive range of services with High Street retailers, banks, restaurants, leisure facilities and supermarkets.

Whitchurch is 8 miles, Newcastle Under Lyme 15 miles, Chester, and Shrewsbury 25 miles, the M6 motorway (Junction 16) is 11 miles and Manchester Airport 40 miles. On the Educational front, there is a primary school in Audlem (Ofsted Good), and the house lies in the catchment area for Brine Leas High School/BL6 Sixth Form (Ofsted Good). Private schooling in the area includes Newcastle High School, The Grange at Hartford, The King's and Queen's in Chester and Ellesmere College.
