There are lovely walks and bridle paths locally leading up to and around The Edge and the Peak National Park lies just the other side of Macclesfield for those who prefer more challenging outdoor pursuits.

Description Birtles Hall Farm is a remarkable family residence and lies within the original Birtles Hall Estate. It not only provides well presented, spacious and versatile accommodation but has the added benefit of a charming separate 3 bedroom cottage; The Round House. This has produced a significant income over recent years and is perfect for guests, extended family or to continue letting.

The property was created about 15 years ago from a series of substantial farm buildings and was crafted to create the superb home presented today. The thoughtful conversion presents versatile space, the heart of which is the vaulted living kitchen area, with its AGA, David Lisle bespoke cupboards and integrated appliances including a top notch Sub Zero fridge freezer and wine store. The granite topped island extends into a butcher’s block and limestone floors lie beneath the exposed trussed roof. A contemporary wood burning stove warms this wonderful family space.

The welcoming family entrance hall is in the two storey west wing and this has a large and very practical boot room/dog room off, along with a separate laundry room. On the first floor, above this, is a generous guest or staff suite with a bed sitting room and a bathroom.
