Mickle Trafford Manor is an exceptional country residence set around a private cobbled courtyard in the village of Mickle Trafford, just a short distance from Chester city centre. This stunning period home overflows with character and craftsmanship, having been thoughtfully upgraded over many years by its current owner. It is the perfect setting for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion.
Stepping through the porch, you enter a wonderfully inviting hallway, complete with a gas coal-effect fire nestled within a traditional inglenook hearth. Church pews and cosy armchairs offer the ideal spot to unwind or chat with passing guests.
The main sitting room exudes relaxed grandeur, featuring elegant seating alongside informal cushioned window benches set in a large bay window that overlooks the pretty garden. A second, snug reception room with garden doors leads through to the kitchen and dining space, which includes a breakfast counter and a warm, welcoming dining area.
A former servant’s staircase takes you up to the Cottage Room—an intimate double bedroom with its own balcony and en-suite bathroom. The main oak staircase leads to three further bedrooms: the Balcony Room, with a super-king bed, private balcony, and stylish en-suite shower room; the State Room, boasting an impressive emperor bed, exposed oak framing, and a luxurious en-suite with double-ended bath, walk-in shower, bidet, and twin basins; and the Green Room, equally well appointed with a super-king bed, en-suite bathroom, and comfortable seating area.
A staircase to the second floor brings you to the elegant and characterful Top Room, styled in a chic 1950s theme and offering a super-king bed and en-suite facilities.
Across the garden, a peaceful heated summerhouse provides a tranquil retreat where you can sit back and admire the house and grounds. Naturally, a home of this calibre wouldn’t be complete without a hot tub for a well-deserved soak. For an added touch of indulgence, finish your evenings in the warmth of the elegant sauna, while children (and adults alike) enjoy the excitement of the games room—equipped with air hockey, pool, and table football.
On the ground floor, a special surprise awaits: step back in time through a secret mirrored wardrobe door into a charming private cinema, complete with reclaimed plush seating, a wide selection of DVDs, a popcorn machine (popcorn included), and a massive flat-screen TV for an immersive family movie night.
Chester offers excellent shopping along with a wide choice of pubs and restaurants. Visit the impressive Chester Cathedral, enjoy a relaxing boat trip along the River Dee, or spend a memorable day at Chester Zoo or the nearby Blue Planet Aquarium.
This remarkable property promises an unforgettable holiday for all who are fortunate enough to stay here.
