A little piece of history looking for its next chapter
This is Higher House, just outside Lymm village... and for 300 years, it’s watched families grow, children play, generations change and fields dance through the seasons. It stood here before Australia or the US were even countries - quietly gathering stories, year after year.
We’ve called it home for the last 24 years. Before us, it sheltered families and their animals side by side. The old aerial photos say it all - from working farm and barns in the 1950s to proud renovations in the 70s and 90s, always evolving, always loved.
Today it’s a warm, lived-in home with half an acre of gardens, York stone paths, big lawns and a private courtyard. All designed to be walked around easily with no awkward steps. There’s an entertainment barn for the biggest of get-togethers, endless parking and a self-contained cottage - perfect for extended family, guests, or a little extra income.
We’ve hosted countless gatherings here: huge parties in the barn, friends camping out for weekends, big family barbecues and quiet evenings by the fire pit under the stars.
It’s a house that’s ready for more stories - your story.
And now it’s time for its next custodians.
To make it easier and more accessible for the right buyer, we have obtained planning permission to split the property into two seperate dwellings should we wish.
We could downsize into the annexe ourselves, while offering the main house, barn and roughly a quarter-acre for sale. To ensure privacy for both homes discreet fencing and a new gated entrance could be built, so it remains completely independant and private.
But of course, if you’re dreaming bigger - maybe you have older family members, a young adult who’d love their own place, or simply want the whole of Higher House for yourself or your business interests- we’d be more than happy to sell the entire place. We're open to discussing how to make it work for you.
