The Drift House: A Modern Countryside Sanctuary in the Heart of Cheshire

Burland, Cheshire – A rare opportunity has emerged in the picturesque village of Burland with the unveiling of The Drift House, a light-filled, architecturally striking barn conversion offering the perfect balance between rural seclusion and modern connectivity.

Set within 6.5 acres of landscaped gardens, paddocks, and peaceful countryside, The Drift House blends expansive living with refined design, all just minutes from the bustling market town of Nantwich.

A Hidden Retreat Beyond the Gates

Approached via a tree-lined driveway and nestled behind electric gates, The Drift House reveals itself slowly and with drama. Surrounded by paddocks and private fields, this unique home offers tranquility without compromise. A spacious turning circle and triple garage (with comfortable parking for four vehicles and a driveway that accommodates many more) sets the tone for a property built around flexibility and flow.

Architectural Elegance Meets Everyday Comfort

Inside, light and space reign. The vaulted entrance hall, with its exposed beams, full-height ceiling and feature bridge walkway, makes a memorable first impression. Underfloor heating, handmade lighting and an intelligent zoned lighting system further enhance the experience.

The heart of the home is its vast kitchen-dining-family room: a soaring, contemporary space featuring a full wall of bifolding doors that open completely to the garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Industrial-chic design blends with natural textures, including exposed RSJs, warm oak cabinetry, and a large central island, perfect for gathering.

The layout is made for modern living. A utility room, snug, and study complement the four bedrooms, one of which is located on the ground floor next to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom—ideal for guests, older relatives, or multigenerational living.

Space to Grow, Space to Breathe

Upstairs, the gallery landing leads to three spacious bedrooms, each with its own character. The master suite features a boutique-style ensuite with a walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and generous dressing space. Bedroom two, with its own external staircase, operates independently—offering flexibility for visiting guests, older children, or home office use.

A Garden Designed to Delight

The Drift House's grounds extend the living space outdoors. A series of connected garden 'rooms' include formal hedging, sculpted lawns, water features, and alfresco dining areas. Every ground-floor room opens to the outside, reinforcing the home's connection with nature.

Beyond the formal gardens, two hedge-lined fields—perfect for equestrian use or further development—enhance the property's rural credentials. With separate road access and potential for stables or garages, the scope for lifestyle evolution is exceptional.

The Annexe: Self-Contained Luxury

Housed within the extended triple garage is a completely independent one-bedroom annexe—ideal as a guest house, Airbnb, or private residence. Featuring a vaulted bedroom, log-burning stove, fitted kitchen, and full bathroom, this hidden gem is finished to the same high standards as the main home.

Location Without Compromise

Perfectly positioned, The Drift House lies close to the Shropshire Union Canal and only five minutes from Nantwich. With excellent road and rail links via Crewe, plus easy access to Chester, Tarporley, and Manchester and Liverpool airports, the home offers seamless connectivity.

Renowned schools including Bunbury Primary, Tarporley High, and several prestigious independents are nearby, making it ideal for families.

A Word from the Owner

“Unlike many barn conversions, The Drift House is incredibly light and open. You never feel enclosed. Every room downstairs connects to the garden—it's a home that flows, both indoors and out.”
