3 Bedroom Coach House

A beautiful piece of Cheshire history, thoughtfully restored for modern life.

Welcome to The Coach House - a truly special Grade II listed-by-curtilage detached home, dating back to the 1850s and originally designed by renowned 19th-century architects Charles and James Trubshaw.

Tucked away along a quiet private lane in the beautiful rural village of Smallwood, this is a home that gives you the best of both worlds - peace, privacy and countryside on your doorstep, without feeling cut off from everyday life.

It’s character. It’s charm. It’s beautifully finished. And it comes with the kind of setting that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile.

A lifestyle, not just a home

Imagine opening the door and heading out for a countryside walk without having to get in the car.

The Coach House sits surrounded by open Cheshire countryside, with beautiful country views and walking routes right on your doorstep. Whether it’s an early morning wander, walking the dog, a Sunday afternoon stroll or simply sitting in the garden with a glass of something cold while the sun goes down - this is countryside living at its best.

And Smallwood itself has that lovely village feel that people search for but rarely find.

Close by, a farm shop and the bluebell pub. Yet when you need a little more, Congleton and Sandbach are both only around 8 minutes away by car, giving you shops, supermarkets, restaurants and everything else you could need.

So yes, you’re in the countryside. But you’re not miles from anywhere.

The Coach House

Behind its historic exterior, the house has been beautifully and sympathetically renovated, creating a home that feels both full of character and incredibly easy to live in.

The original charm remains - but the finish is decidedly modern.

The heart of the home is the gorgeous kitchen, updated in 2019 and fitted with a range of integrated appliances including a Stoves oven, Bosch induction hob, Hotpoint dishwasher and Beko fridge/freezer.

It’s bright, practical and welcoming - exactly the sort of kitchen where everyday life happens, from morning coffees to dinner with friends.

There are also two beautifully proportioned reception rooms, giving you the flexibility to create the spaces that work for you. A cosy sitting room, dining room, snug, study or home office - you decide.

A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms retain the character you would expect from a home of this age, with plenty of natural light and individuality.

The modern shower room was also installed in 2019, bringing a lovely contemporary finish without taking away from the character of the property.

And then there’s the annex…

This is where The Coach House really starts to stand apart.

The detached, two-storey annex was converted in 2019 from the former modern garage and gives you a whole extra layer of flexibility.

Need somewhere for a family member?

A private guest space?

A home office away from the main house?

A teenager who wants their own space?

Or perhaps somewhere that could eventually work as a holiday let, subject to the necessary permissions?

It’s all here.

The annex includes its own reception room, modern shower room and spacious double bedroom, creating a genuinely useful independent space.

Outside

The south-facing gardens are another huge part of what makes this property special.

There is space to sit out, entertain, garden and enjoy the setting - with the surrounding countryside providing the backdrop.

The generous courtyard and private driveway provide plenty of practical parking, while the secluded position means you can enjoy the peace and privacy that comes with being tucked away from the road.

And then there are those views.

This is the sort of garden where you’ll find yourself lingering.
