About the host

Hosted by Andrea Stevens

Host profile image
My husband Matt and I have a daughter age 16 and disabled son age 10. We have 2 family pet dogs.
I have worked in hospitality and customer service for over 25 years and love to meet new people. Originally a Lancashire lass, however Cheshire stole my heart over 25 years ago.

Why they chose this property

We made the move to our current property to enable our son to live independently when he comes of age, so The Piggery will be for him in the future.
We simply love the countryside and all it has to offer and we are blessed to live in such a beautiful part of Cheshire.

What makes this property unique

Originally one of the old farm buildings, it has been converted and modernised and is now a cozy get away from it all self contained home with all mod cons.
The buildings name is a nod to its historic use and also linked to my husbands family history as they farmed pigs decades ago in neighbouring Alderley edge.
