Butlers Hill House is a striking 19th-century period property located in the historic market town of Cheadle. This elegant residence, once serving as the town’s Doctor’s Surgery, offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Lovingly restored to its former glory, the home retains many original features that highlight its rich architectural heritage.

Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a magnificent central hall with stunning Minton tile flooring. The hall features a wide, grand staircase with original balustrades and finely carved architraves, leading up to the first floor. A large, shaped window ensures the space is filled with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.

The property’s spacious and versatile layout includes a reception hall, an inner hall, a drawing room, dining room, office/study, and a country-style kitchen, where a traditional Aga stove serves as the centerpiece. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room and a flexible space, ideal for use as a gym or hobby room.

Butlers Hill House is designed to accommodate both family life and entertaining, with ample space for social gatherings or quiet relaxation. The first floor offers five generous bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom complete with both a bath and a walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom serves the remaining two other bedrooms.

One of the property’s standout features is its three-room cellar, which provides substantial additional storage or potential for further development. With power and light, this space offers the flexibility to be used as a workshop, wine cellar, or studio.

The house is surrounded by well-maintained gardens. The paved terrace and various seating areas around the grounds make the garden ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. The garden includes lawns, vegetable beds, and soft fruit patches, a pond filled with nature, adding a touch of rural charm to the property.

A private lane provides access to the house, where there is a detached garage/workshop (ID C on the plan) in need of restoration and ample off-road parking (ID D on the plan). In 2013 planning permission was granted but has now lapsed, to rebuild another garage into the bank of the garden. See Application no: 13/00757/FUL on the Staffordshire Moorlands District Council website. Adjacent to the garage is a further lawned area (ID E on the plan).

Butlers Hill House is situated close to local attractions such as Alton Towers, Churnet Valley, and the Augustus W.N. Pugin-designed St. Giles Catholic Church. Nature lovers will enjoy the proximity to several nature reserves, including the National Trust’s Hawksmoor and RSPB Combes Valley.

The property offers excellent transport links, with easy access to major roads like the A50 and M6, and a nearby rail connection from Blythe Bridge to Stoke-on-Trent and onto Central London. In addition, renowned schools, including the outstanding Painsley Catholic School, make this location desirable for families.
