This Bespoke English Country House Blends History With Modern Luxury
Nestled in the picturesque village of Goostrey, Blackden Manor is a stunning Grade II-listed property that seamlessly blends history with modern luxury.
Located just north of Holmes Chapel and south of Alderley Edge, this former manor house, dating back to 1597, stands proudly within 28½ acres of parkland, woodland, and landscaped gardens.
Purchased in 2018 and meticulously renovated by its current owners, Blackden Manor boasts nearly 10,000 square feet of living space.
Historical charm is preserved through original period features like oak paneling and timber framing, while contemporary elegance is evident in bespoke fittings and joinery.
Key highlights include a grand entrance hall, an oak-paneled sitting room, a study, a large drawing room, and a billiard room with a hidden bar.
The rear wing offers an open-plan kitchen, dining area, and library, complete with a floor-to-ceiling log-burner and views of Jodrell Bank.
The first floor hosts the principal bedroom suite, six additional bedrooms, and luxurious bathrooms.
The grounds are equally impressive, featuring a stone terrace, formal gardens, a lake, a resurfaced tennis court, and a swimming pool. Additional amenities include a five-car garage and a Grade II-listed barn with conversion potential.
As Crispin Harris of Jackson-Stops in Alderley Edge notes, "Blackden Manor is an example of creating modern living within the context of a beautiful Listed building."
This property offers a rare blend of heritage and contemporary comfort, making it one of Cheshire's finest country houses.
