Needygate Farm

Requiring extensive repair and renovation following fire damage, a stone farmhouse with outstanding potential set in 8 acres, occupying a delightful setting on the edge of the Peak Park overlooking the Cheshire Plain

Requiring extensive repair and renovation following a fire in December 2023, Needygate Farm represents an excellent opportunity, with suitable vision and design acumen, to create a superb home to a purchaser's requirements and specification. Whether brimming with character and rustic appeal, or appointed with contemporary styling in the traditional shell, the choice and potential is there to be realised.

The farmhouse is set within gardens and land of around 8 acres on the edge of the Peak National Park and these offer extensive views to the west across the Cheshire plain and Manchester.  There are gardens to three sides and a driveway with parking and a double detached garage. The field belonging to the property is at both sides and to the rear of the house. There is gated access to this from the driveway area and also separately from Shrigley Road.

Built with stone elevations under a pitched stone clad roof, the house is not listed or within a conservation area, though being in the Peak Park, any development will be subject to the requisite consent.  The rooms are of a generous size set out in traditional farmhouse manner and include 4 bedrooms.

Pott Shrigley is a popular village to the north of Macclesfield. The position of Needygate Farm is a very enviable one amid delightful countryside situated between the Pott Shrigley and Poynton. Within the foothills of the Peak Park it has all the benefits of a rural setting linked with the convenience of village and town amenities within easy reach. Poynton centre is within 3 miles and offers a good range of shops and schools.  Manchester airport and the North West motorway network are within 10 miles.
