Incredible Offices to Rent in Cheshire
Leasing a workspace in Cheshire comes with an abundance of benefits for businesses and employees alike. Cheshire is a large and varied county in the North West, with a range of opportunities available to businesses across a multitude of industries. Knutsford in particular is often featured in lists of the ‘most desirable places to live in the UK’, thanks in part to its thriving town centre with a highly popular Maker’s Market, convenient location, and vibrant culinary scene.
Knutsford in Cheshire benefits from an elevated standard of living, but also a rich heritage with architectural charm, natural beauty and high-quality education - meaning it's the perfect place to attract top talent. From its excellent transport links to major cities like Manchester and Liverpool, through to exciting and innovative amenities, the town has become a thriving business community that should excite any companies looking to relocate.
The Bruntwood team has put together a guide to further highlight why Knutsford and the wider Cheshire borough have become a hot commodity for serviced and leased office spaces, why these spaces are so popular, and why the area should be home to your next office space.
Bridging the Gap: How to Find the Perfect Serviced Office
Serviced offices have become incredibly popular in recent years, offering businesses a flexible and convenient solution to their workspace needs.
What is a serviced office?
Serviced offices are 'prepackaged' offices meticulously designed specifically to suit the needs of clients. These spaces are designed by companies like Bruntwood, who provide infrastructure and amenities such as leisure facilities, cleaning, and community events - taking these responsibilities away from businesses themselves. All day-to-day running of an office space is taken care of, allowing businesses to focus on what they do best.
The types of businesses attracted to these spaces are, as a result, incredibly varied due to the wide range of needs a serviced office can fulfil. For example, for a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) or start-up that’s still finding its feet, the scalability and flexibility of a serviced office are ideal, providing a professional environment without the constraints of a rigid, long-term lease. For any larger businesses looking to expand into new regions, these offices are also an excellent way to secure a satellite office or a short-term project hub.
As such, spots like Booths Park in Knutsford are incredibly popular due to their eye-catching amenities, such as the following:
A brand-new wellbeing hub with Les Mills fitness classes and a Peloton Studio
Food and beverage options, such as Philpotts and Tatton Perk coffee shop
Premium showers and changing facilities
Walking and running tracks
On-site meeting rooms
A thriving local business community, with ample opportunities for networking and collaboration

Nature in Cheshire
For businesses with a focus on sustainability, Cheshire is an excellent place to set up camp.
