A HISTORIC Cheshire property that was once home to nobility is currently on the market for more than £1m.

Whitegate House is steeped in history having previously been residence to Lord and Lady Delamere, the estate manager’s house to the nearby Vale Royal Abbey, and also serving as a coaching inn known as ‘The Rifleman Inn’.

Nestled in the heart of Whitegate, the property offers a perfect balance of rural tranquillity and accessibility, with Hartford being only 10 minutes away.

The current owner has retained all of the original period features, including open fireplaces, wooden/tiled floors, and cast-iron radiators. Creating a home which cleverly combines historic charm with modern comforts.

The property features five bedrooms, three reception rooms and almost 1.2 acres of land.

A stunning new large kitchen extension is the main hub of this home, with limestone flooring, integrated appliances, quartz work surfaces, and a large dining area that provides access via French windows to the gardens and other outside entertaining areas.

The large hallway, with its grand wooden staircase and original flooring, is a classical central feature to this house. Leading off the hallway is a large dual aspect dining room, which is a fabulous place to hold formal dinner parties, the sitting room, with amazing views of the gardens and woodlands, the boot room, cloak room, morning room, utility room and cellars.

The first floor has four large double bedrooms with period features, two of which enjoy ensuite facilities, and a staircase off the landing takes you up to bedroom five, which again is a large double.

Outside, the house is surrounded by multiple gardens, landscaped patio and decked areas, a vegetable patch, log stores, mature woodland and gated parking area for several vehicles.

Whitegate House is on the market for offers in the region of £1.25m.
