Homes in Nantwich
Nantwich is a historic market town, rebuilt after a great fire in 1583, and today has one of the finest collections of black-and-white Tudor and Elizabethan buildings in England. Its centre has numerous listed buildings, including timber-framed houses and Georgian townhouses, and the conservation area covers much of the town. Victorian terraces and villas surround the centre.
Stapeley has newer estates on the southern edge of town, while Acton and Wybunbury are villages with older cottages and larger homes, and Audlem is a canal village nearby. Nantwich was historically a salt town, producing salt from brine springs. The River Weaver runs through the town, and some low-lying homes carry flood risk. Demand is high for period homes, and new-build developments have been added on the outskirts. Many historic buildings require specialist knowledge of timber-frame repair.
Areas we cover include Stapeley, Acton, Wybunbury, Audlem.
