A Rare Five Bedroom Victorian Home with a Remarkable South-Facing Garden

Dating back to around 1860 and forming part of the original Hope Cottages, the first homes built on Moor Lane, Fairfield is a home with a wonderful story to tell. Positioned along one of South Wilmslow's most sought after roads, this handsome Victorian residence offers almost 2,400 sq ft of accommodation across four floors, including a substantial cellar providing excellent additional storage, together with a remarkable south facing garden approaching 200ft in length and the kind of generous proportions that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Built during a period when Wilmslow was still a rural Cheshire village surrounded by open countryside, Fairfield has evolved gracefully over the years whilst retaining the qualities that made homes of this era so enduringly desirable: high ceilings, elegant room proportions, original fireplaces and a strong connection to the land around it. Today, it is a wonderful family home that combines history, character, flexibility and practicality, all within easy walking distance of excellent schools, independent shops and the heart of Wilmslow.

When the current owners came to view 67 Moor Lane six years ago, they weren't entirely sure what they were looking for, but the moment they stepped into the garden, with its beautiful weeping willow and feeling of space, peace and quiet, surrounded by nature, they knew they had found it. The house itself won them over too, with its high ceilings, original fireplaces and warm, homely feel. Learning that Fairfield was built in 1860, as one of the very first cottages on Moor Lane, only added to its appeal, and they have felt privileged ever since to be part of that history. Over the years they have lovingly brought out the best in the home, enjoying every season here with their children, who have grown into teenagers with plenty of space to call their own, and countless family meals around the dining table. Working from home, they have valued the space the house offers, and its sturdy walls have kept them warm in winter and cool in summer. The seller's explained that although the home is a semi-detached it has always felt detached to them due o the thick walls, they never hear anything from their neighbours and the lay out at the rear of the property obscures any views in from next door, which leads to the property feeling very private. The garden has given them endless joy, from summer picnics with extended family to lazy evenings with a glass of wine, and they hope the next family will love this very special home just as much as they have.

A wide driveway and attractive Victorian façade create a wonderful first impression. A welcoming porch leads through to the entrance hall and into the heart of the home. To the front, a beautiful bay fronted sitting room offers high ceilings, generous proportions and a log burning stove, creating an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, while a versatile study provides space for a home office, playroom, library or snug. The dining area sits centrally, with the living room beyond enjoying garden views.

To the rear, a light filled kitchen with original built in cabinetry and a useful pantry leads through to a separate utility room, a useful ground floor WC, and a wonderful garden room, perfect for relaxed family living or entertaining with doors out to the garden. Below, the substantial cellar offers excellent additional storage space that modern homes often struggle to provide.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a particularly generous room with it's own en suite bathroom, alongside a further double bedroom, a third bedroom, and a well appointed family bathroom. On the second floor, two further rooms offer remarkable flexibility, currently arranged as an office and a fifth bedroom, ideal as a guest suite, teenager's retreat, creative studio or additional home office, adapting easily to suit the next family's needs.

The garden at Fairfield is every bit as special as the house itself. Stretching to approximately 193ft in length and enjoying a sunny south facing aspect, it feels more reminiscent of a country garden than a property so conveniently positioned within Wilmslow. Years of careful nurturing have created a landscape full of colour, texture and interest throughout the seasons, with mature trees, established borders and flowering planting providing structure and privacy, and a magnificent weeping willow forming a beautiful focal point. The current owners are passionate gardeners and have created a garden that feels both productive and ornamental, with space for growing produce, composting and beekeeping, alongside sweeping lawns and two separate terraces perfectly positioned for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is also a beautiful pond currently home to Koi fish but would equally be turned in to a raised flower bed. Beyond the rear boundary lie playing fields and allotments, creating an unusually open outlook and a green, peaceful backdrop that encourages children to explore, adults to unwind, and families to spend more time outdoors.

South Wilmslow remains one of the area's most desirable places to live, and it is easy to understand why. From Fairfield, a short stroll leads to Chapel Lane, a much loved local destination known for its independent shops, artisan bakeries, cafés and everyday conveniences. Families are particularly drawn to the location thanks to the excellent selection of nearby schools, including Ashdene Primary School, Gorsey Bank Primary School, St Annes, Lindow Primary School and Wilmslow High School. Wilmslow town centre and railway station are also within easy reach, offering direct connections to Manchester, the airport and London, while nearby countryside walks provide an immediate escape into nature.
