Five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a kitchen that runs the width of the house. Ten minutes from Hale village on foot.

The Old Rectory is listed, which shapes what can and cannot be done to it — no external alterations, and any internal work goes through the landlord and, where needed, Cheshire West and Chester. In practice it is a house that has been looked after rather than modernised out of itself.
The library is fully panelled with a working fire. There are four reception rooms in total, six bedrooms across two floors, and a cellar that is dry and used for storage. The kitchen was replaced in 2021 with a Lacanche range that stays.
The grounds run to just under two acres including a walled kitchen garden and a coach house with two bays. Grounds maintenance is included in the rent and is carried out fortnightly. EPC is E, which is honest for a listed building of this age — heating costs are not small, and we would rather you knew that before you viewed.
| Holding deposit | £1,096— one week's rent, taken to reserve the property and put towards your first month's rent. |
|---|---|
| Security deposit | £5,480— five weeks' rent, the legal maximum. Protected with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme within 30 days. |
| First month's rent | £4,750 — due on or before the day the tenancy starts, less the holding deposit already paid. |
| During the tenancy | Rent, utilities, council tax and a TV licence. Changing the tenancy at your request costs £50 including VAT. Late rent accrues interest at 3% above the Bank of England base rate, and only after 14 days. |
The Old Rectory is in Great Budworth, CW9 6HF. We do not publish exact pins before a viewing is booked — the map on our search page shows the village, and we will send the full address with your viewing confirmation.
Next step
Viewings are accompanied by someone who knows the property, not a junior with a key safe code. Bring questions — about the heating bills, the neighbours, the parking, whatever matters to you. We would rather answer honestly than let a place twice.
