Holden and Prescott had this to say about the home: "Pyegreave Farm is a historic Grade II listed property dating back to around 1490 and is the site of the first recorded settlement in Langley and reputedly the oldest enclosed farm in this part of Cheshire.
"Tucked away on the slopes of Tegg's Nose on the edge of the Peak District, it's only minutes away from the sought-after villages of Langley and Sutton and Macclesfield, where you'll find all the amenities of a thriving market town.
"As mentioned, the original farmhouse is Grade II-listed and has an abundance of original features, such as exquisite oak beams, vaulted ceilings, and exposed timber work, which present a captivating and characterful aesthetic.
"As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the charming and unique interior, which reflects the integrity and rich history of this wonderful property.
"While the farmhouse is in need of a degree of updating, this presents an exciting opportunity for you to put your own stamp on this historical abode and create a space that truly reflects your style and preferences.
"Imagine the possibilities of blending modern comforts with the timeless allure of this ancient dwelling.
"If you are someone who appreciates history, character, and the beauty of the countryside, this 15th-century farmhouse on Coalpit Lane is the perfect canvas for you to paint your dream home.
"A particular highlight of this property is the stunning views it offers over the rolling countryside, providing a tranquil and idyllic backdrop for everyday living.
"The property is set within delightful gardens which wrap around the immediate vicinity.
"At the front is a good sized flagged patio area enclosed by stone walling and this provides access to the outbuildings as well as to the extended gardens beyond which feature a range of well-stocked flower beds and borders as well as a substantial vegetable plot which successfully bestows an abundance of produce for the current owners.
"A pathway provides access to a further raised lawned area with mature beds and borders and spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.
"Please Note: An option to purchase additional land is available and this includes approximately three acres of land located to the rear of the property.
"The additional land has a sale price of £30,000 [separate to house price]. For further information, please contact the Holden & Prescott office.
