Cheshire is a wonderful,
varied county, stretching from the internationally important Dee
estuary, to the windswept moors of the Peak District. In between
there is a rich mosaic of agricultural land, woodland and lowland
heath interlaced with rivers and canals.
With more than 200 miles of waterways, Cheshire
has a greater length of canals than any other English county,
so wherever you move in Cheshire you are never far from a waterway.
The gardens of Cheshire are also famed for their
stunning displays and innovative design, and the RHS has its huge,
and wonderful garden at Tatton Park to reflect this.
Cheshire is a very rural county, and one of
the few non-remote places where a sense of community is still
in tact.
The peak district nearby ensures that fantastic
walking and riding and climbing are all on your doorstep, and
thriving farmers' markets remove any but the most desperate shopper's
reliance on supermarkets.
There is a strong network of arts fans in Cheshire,
and a national scheme to encourage arts in rural areas has been
embraced strongly by locals. There are 25 villages throughout
the county which have volunteers who pick pieces of theatre, contemporary
dance, music or film they think residents would like to see, and
organise performances in their village hall. This ensures that
people have access to the arts without having to go to the city
or a large town to do so. This rural arts scheme has lots of room
for expansion and there are specific events for under 5's and
their families.
Agriculture is also very much a part of Cheshire
culture: it is arguably the best-known dairy farming county in
England, and is famed for its cheese. Salt, chemicals and shipbuilding
are other principal industries, and Crewe is one of Britain's
most important railway towns, but the heart of Cheshire is still
agricultural. Much of the county's landscape is relatively flat,
but to the east, the high moors that are part of the Peak District
National Park rise suddenly.
PROPERTY PRICES
Popular locations are Macclesfield, Plumley
and Congleton, and prices in the south of the country are
also rising incresingly quickly.
Cheshire has lots of Georgian houses, but not
in the classic style. A typical house in the county is a Georgian
red brick farmhouse, with six or so bedrooms and a couple of acres
of land. Depending on location, and setting, it will go for between
£750,000 and £3m.
High demand areas which are close to Manchester
you find prices much steeper. In Wilmslow there is a lot of new
money which drives prices up, and people like the fact that it
is such a lovely small town that they can walk everywhere, but
Manchester is only half an hour away. There are also
decent restaraunts and shops in the area which come when more
wealthy people move into an area.
Cheshire is always going to be one of those
counties which is a bit more expensive than nearby areas, in part
because Manchester is such a huge draw, being the third biggest
city in England it is a huge employer and for people who are looking
for a bit of tranquil rural countryside, you can't do better than
this.
Alderly Edge is also a popular small town just
to the south of Manchester, and Mr Major said that he is also
seeing increasing demand for towns further south like Congleton
and Sandbach.
Typically people wanting to move to Cheshire
come from the urban centres of Manchester and Livepool, but commuters
to London are growing in number and these factors, as well as
the inevitable footballer factor, keep prices consistently high
here.
