Set within an elevated position overlooking the surrounding countryside towards Bollington and beyond towards Manchester in the distance, The Old Stables at Hollin Farm represents one of those increasingly rare opportunities where history, flexibility and setting come together to create something genuinely unique.

Originally forming part of the old stable block serving nearby Hollin Hall, now home to Hollin House Hotel, the property has remained within the same family ownership for generations and, over the years, has evolved significantly to adapt alongside changing family needs and lifestyles. What began life as traditional stabling has gradually been transformed and extended into a substantial country home that today offers a remarkable amount of versatility.

Currently, the accommodation is arranged as two separate but adjoining homes, created by closing off the original internal connections at both ground and first floor levels. Importantly, the layout could quite easily be reconfigured back into one substantial residence if desired, whilst equally lending itself perfectly to multi-generational living, dependent relatives, older children seeking independence, holiday accommodation potential or simply buyers wanting flexible living arrangements under one roof.

The approach itself immediately sets the tone. Accessed via a track and occupying an elevated hillside setting, the position enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy and separation from the outside world whilst still remaining accessible for nearby amenities and transport links. The views are undoubtedly one of the defining features of the property, stretching across the valley towards Bollington, with Manchester visible on the horizon during clearer days and evenings.

The principal section of the home offers extensive accommodation centred around a large reception hall complete with cylindrical wood-burning stove and tiled flooring, creating an immediate sense of warmth and character upon arrival. The dining kitchen forms the natural heart of this side of the property, fitted with a substantial central island, stone work surfaces and range cooker, whilst offering ample space for day-to-day family life and entertaining alike.

Reception space is particularly generous, with the large lounge enjoying excellent proportions together with multiple windows and patio doors drawing in natural light from several directions. A separate snug and formal dining room provide additional flexibility depending on how a purchaser wishes to live, whether that be formal entertaining, home working or simply creating quieter spaces away from the main living accommodation.

Upstairs, the principal section continues to impress with four bedrooms, each benefitting from their own en-suite facilities, creating a layout rarely found in homes of this nature. The main bedroom additionally incorporates its own dressing room, whilst the vaulted ceilings and exposed architectural features throughout help retain the property's character and origins.

The adjoining accommodation feels slightly more contemporary in style whilst still sitting comfortably alongside the original building. This section is currently occupied by the existing owners and has been designed around more open-plan modern living. The ground floor centres around a large open-plan living kitchen dining space with underfloor heating and multi-fuel stove, creating a sociable and relaxed environment well suited to modern family life. A separate snug provides a further reception room, whilst upstairs there are two substantial double bedrooms, both benefitting from their own en-suite bathrooms.

Altogether, the flexibility on offer here is difficult to overstate. Whether a purchaser is seeking a substantial single home, accommodation for extended family, an income-generating opportunity, or simply a property capable of adapting over time, The Old Stables offers options that very few homes can replicate.

Externally, the setting only continues to enhance what is already a highly individual property. The property is approached via a gravelled driveway providing plentiful off-road parking together with relatively flat lawned gardens that wrap around the home. Currently, the outside space is arranged as two separate gardens divided by timber fence panelling to reflect the present layout of the accommodation, although these could quite easily be opened up again to create one much larger unified garden should a purchaser wish. A timber-built outbuilding, currently utilised as a stable for a pony, offers excellent versatility and could be adapted to suit a variety of uses, subject to the purchaser's individual requirements. To the left-hand side of the driveway, between the access track and Jackson Lane, is an additional parcel of land currently arranged as a small paddock. This area forms part of the sale and further enhances the property's lifestyle appeal, offering potential for hobby farming, keeping animals, children's recreation or simply enjoying additional outdoor space. The elevated position allows the surrounding views to become part of everyday life, whilst the semi-rural location strikes that increasingly difficult balance between countryside living and accessibility.

Bollington itself remains one of the most sought-after villages surrounding Macclesfield, known for its strong community feel, canalside walks, countryside access and excellent commuter positioning for Manchester and the wider North West.

Properties with this level of flexibility, history and setting rarely come to the market, particularly those held within the same family ownership for such a considerable period of time.

Externally

Occupying an enviable elevated position, the property is approached from the upper section of Grimshaw Lane via a private unmade driveway, which leads to an impressive gravelled courtyard providing extensive off-road parking for numerous vehicles. A substantial Indian stone flagged terrace extends across the front of the property, creating a welcoming approach and an excellent space for outdoor seating and entertaining.

A timber-built outbuilding, currently utilised as a stable for a pony, offers excellent versatility and could be adapted to suit a variety of uses, subject to the purchaser's individual requirements.

To the right-hand side of the property lies the principal garden, beautifully landscaped and predominantly laid to lawn, enjoying a high degree of privacy together with magnificent far-reaching views across the village of Bollington and beyond towards the Cheshire Plain. Thoughtfully designed with established planting, raised timber sleeper beds, mature trees and patio seating areas, the gardens provide a wonderful balance of open space and practicality, creating an idyllic setting for family life, entertaining or simply relaxing whilst taking in the exceptional outlook.

To the left-hand side of the driveway, between the access track and Jackson Lane, is an additional parcel of land currently arranged as a small paddock. This area forms part of the sale and further enhances the property's lifestyle appeal, offering potential for hobby farming, keeping animals, children's recreation or simply enjoying additional outdoor space.

The property is currently configured as two separate dwellings and, as such, the gardens are presently divided to create independent outside spaces for each residence. However, the existing fencing could easily be removed should a purchaser wish to reinstate the property as a single family home, creating one impressive, uninterrupted garden. Equally, the current arrangement could be retained should separate outdoor spaces better suit the next owner's requirements.

Overall, the grounds provide an exceptional combination of generous parking, versatile outbuildings, formal gardens, additional land and breathtaking views, all within one of Bollington's most desirable semi-rural settings.
