Brookbank Farm, Macclesfield

Brookbank Farm7 bedrooms, Sleeps 18 + 1 Baby.

Far-reaching views towards Jodrell Bank give Brookbank Farm a memorable setting, but it is the house’s scale and character that will matter most to a big gathering. This Grade II listed farmhouse sleeps 18 in 7 bedrooms with 7 bathrooms, making it well suited to extended family reunions and celebration weekends where everyone wants their own space. Original oak doors, beams, low doorways and uneven stairs all speak to the building’s age, while the living room’s inglenook fireplace and wood burner keep the mood warm and sociable.

Meals and mornings should be easy here, thanks to a generous kitchen with breakfast area, two fridge/freezers and two dishwashers, plus an oil Aga available from October to May. There’s also a separate dining room and a snug on the second floor for quieter moments away from the group. The enclosed rear garden adds a private hot tub under a timber-framed veranda, and the farm’s own fishing lakes can be used by arrangement with day tickets.

From the front lawn, far reaching views stretch over the Jodrell Bank Observatory, which is within easy walking distance.
