With stunning views over to Wales, a free walled gardens and bird reserve, there's lots going on in this 'hidden gem' village
With a patchwork of gorgeous thatched cottages, cobbled walkways and beautiful walled gardens with views out to Wales, the village of Burton is a tranquil spot off the beaten track. It has long been known as one of Cheshire 's "best kept secrets", tucked away at the Western edge of the county.
The historic Burton Manor sits at the heart of the village and was once home to Prime Minister William Gladstone's son Henry. In recent years it has been transformed into private offices. Next to the tearooms is the only other business now open in the village - interiors and floral shop The Little Room. Owner Carmel Blackwell also owns a shop in Liverpool, but when lockdown hit needed space nearer to her home in the neighbouring village of Puddington and she took over the space in the courtyard of the manor.
Walking into the manor gardens, you will see a variety of seasonal flowers and can then walk through to a sunken garden and then along a footpath for some truly breathtaking views. "Someone in the village thought it might be a good idea to turn the bus stop into a little library and it's been a real success. We also have a book sale in the visitor centre at the gardens.
They're not the most expensive properties currently for sale in Burton though. There are currently four large mansions on Rightmove priced from £1mn to £1.57mn looking for buyers in the village. "In the ancient woodland, Bluebells carpet the floor in spring, while fungi pop up come autumn. Grazing livestock are used to manage our wet grassland area for breeding Lapwings and Redshanks."
