About this listing
Set within an elevated semi-rural position with magnificent far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards Bollington and, on clearer days, Manchester in the distance, The Old Stables at Hollin Farm is an incredibly spacious and individual four-bedroom, four-bathroom country home, available to rent within this highly desirable setting on the outskirts of Bollington.
Originally forming part of the old stable block serving nearby Hollin Hall, now home to Hollin House Hotel, the property has been transformed and extended over the years to create a substantial family home which retains much of the character associated with its origins whilst providing exceptionally generous and versatile accommodation.
Approached via a private unmade driveway from the upper section of Grimshaw Lane, the elevated hillside position gives the property a wonderful sense of privacy and separation, with open countryside and impressive views forming a constant backdrop. Despite the rural feel, Bollington, Macclesfield and the surrounding areas remain readily accessible, making this an excellent option for those wanting considerably more space without feeling completely isolated.
Once inside, the scale of the accommodation quickly becomes apparent. A large reception hall provides an impressive entrance into the property, with tiled flooring and a cylindrical wood-burning stove adding character and warmth.
From here, steps lead into the substantial dining kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of units, contrasting stone work surfaces and a large central island. A range cooker provides a focal point to the kitchen, whilst there is also an integrated dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge freezer. The proportions allow plenty of room for a large dining table, making this a particularly sociable space.
The reception accommodation is equally impressive. The exceptionally spacious lounge extends to over 26ft in length and benefits from windows and patio doors drawing in plenty of natural light. In addition, there is a separate snug, a generous dining room and a useful study, giving you considerable flexibility whether you require additional living rooms, space to work from home or simply room for a larger family to spread out.
Completing the ground floor is a utility room/WC, fitted with additional storage and work surfaces together with plumbing and space for a washing machine and separate dryer.
Upstairs, a spacious landing with vaulted ceiling leads to four bedrooms, each benefitting from its own private en-suite facilities – a particularly unusual feature and one which makes the accommodation exceptionally well suited to families with older children, professional sharers or those regularly accommodating visiting family and guests.
The main bedroom is a generous double room with the additional benefit of its own separate dressing room and en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, whilst both the third and particularly spacious fourth bedroom also benefit from their own en-suite shower rooms.
Vaulted ceilings, Velux windows and exposed architectural features found throughout parts of the first floor serve as a reminder of the building's original character and help distinguish The Old Stables from a more conventional family home.
Outside is equally impressive. The property is approached into a substantial gravelled courtyard providing extensive off-road parking for numerous vehicles, whilst a large Indian stone flagged terrace extends across the front of the property and provides an excellent area for outdoor seating and entertaining.
The principal garden lies to the side of the house and is predominantly laid to lawn, with established planting, raised timber sleeper beds, mature trees and additional seating areas. Its elevated position provides an exceptional outlook across Bollington and the surrounding Cheshire countryside, with the views undoubtedly forming one of the defining features of living here.
A timber-built outbuilding provides useful additional outside storage and further adds to the rural character of the setting.
For those wanting countryside surroundings without sacrificing access to local amenities, the position is particularly appealing. Bollington remains one of the most sought-after villages surrounding Macclesfield, renowned for its strong community, independent shops and eateries, canalside walks and immediate access to some beautiful countryside.
Macclesfield is also within easy reach, providing a wider range of amenities together with its mainline railway station offering direct services to Manchester and London.
With approximately 1,500 sq ft of accommodation, four bedrooms, four en-suite facilities, multiple reception rooms, parking, generous gardens and some truly outstanding views, The Old Stables offers an increasingly rare opportunity to rent a substantial and highly individual country home in a superb semi-rural setting.
