Independent reading

A comprehensively renovated 19th-century Cheshire farmhouse with three cottages, an indoor pool, gym, stabling and 3.48 acres.

The Tom Howley kitchen, IQ Glass extension, flexible cottage programme and private rural setting clear Aveno’s any-era luxury gate. Value comparisons must use the 7,436 sq ft habitable house, cottage and leisure area—not the 10,284 sq ft total that includes 2,847.70 sq ft of agricultural and storage outbuildings.

Property memory

The home’s price story.

Direct transaction memory is not yet matched.

This history does not prove fair value. It tells the buyer exactly how much of the current price must be explained by market growth, improvements, specification and scarcity.

What is withheld.

Land Registry can establish sale history; EPC can reveal rated floor area and energy assumptions; Planning Data can surface constraints by UPRN or coordinate. A link alone is never counted as intelligence.

Jackson-Stops’ exact live instruction was rechecked on 28 October 2026 at £2.75m. Its original 48-image gallery was visually inspected and contains a strong real-property cover plus exterior, principal living, kitchen, bedroom, leisure and ancillary coverage. No agent still is copied, hotlinked or approved for reuse. Savills’ current exact instruction independently corroborates the price, address, tenure, component areas, land and specification. Jackson-Stops’ exact current property page links the official Illidge Green Farm film and its publisher-controlled video surface embeds Vimeo player 1108426294. Aveno may present that official player without copying, downloading, screenshotting or rehosting video or still imagery. Retain the original listing and official Vimeo source links with an Aveno text-and-data panel; never substitute agent photographs or film stills. Third-party material remains the property of its publisher. The publisher does not endorse Aveno’s independent assessment.
