Proudly re-offered at a competitive new price point, with the vendors' onward purchase plans to Scotland fully secured and a flexible completion available.

Welcome to the Coach House on Church Lane. A beautifully renovated former barn set within the quaint village of Smallwood. Once part of The Rectory and formally divided in 2004, the property is listed by virtue of its historic curtilage. It was part of the original estate designed by the esteemed 19th-century architects Charles and James Trubshaw, who were also responsible for the village’s landmark St. John’s Church. Offering a rare combination of heritage character and contemporary finish, this charming home has been thoughtfully updated to an exceptional standard throughout.

The property features versatile and multi-functional accommodation, ideal for modern living, multi-generational arrangements or guest use. A detached garage has been professionally converted, creating a self-contained annex that offers superb flexibility. Inside the main residence, vaulted ceilings, character features and a quirky attic room add unique charm, complemented by engineered oak flooring, quality carpets and stylish décor.

The Coach House benefits from private and enclosed courtyards along with an extensive south-facing garden, offering excellent outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining. The rural setting provides picturesque field views and access to nearby walking routes, while remaining just an eight-minute drive from Sandbach town centre. Ample driveway parking further enhances the practicality of this impressive home.
