Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
In my view this is one of the best value for money homes presently offered for sale in the CW8 postcode and a viewing is essential. Offered with no chain, it really does represent an exciting, welcome and rare buying opportunity.
The house forms part of a highly unusual and wonderful development, which was originally constructed in 1999 by Linden Homes. It offers a wonderful lifestyle for a busy growing family or alternatively those seeking a peacefully located home who are downsizing from larger rural property.
The Courtyard is an enclave of the wider scheme and is situated at the far end of the site and close to the historic, grade two listed Hefferston Hall. With this in mind, all the properties in the road have been designed in a neo Georgian architectural style to tie in perfectly with the environment and history of the site.
Unlike many alternative semi rural developments of a similar genre, this is a home that avoids high price service charges, restrictive management company arrangements and poor internet coverage. Instead, the house is on mains drainage, mains gas, mains electricity and has fibre to premises internet. At £55 a year, the cost of contributing to the central courtyard garden will not break the bank!
This house enjoys one of the best plots in the development, extending to just under a fifth of an acre. The garden is L shaped, has a south westerly orientation and is not overlooked to the rear so has really impressive levels of seclusion and privacy.
Externally the house is attractive and interesting from the front, yet its appearance does little to display the exceptionally large size found within and also extremely light and bright. The total space, including the integral L shaped garage, extends to 2368 square feet, thereby offering a substantial layout that perfectly caters to the dynamics and changing needs of modern family living.
The moment you step foot through the door, you can fully start to understand what this super home has to offer in terms of scale and flexibility. The entrance hall is in itself a significant feature, standing out as a large, open, and elegant space. It provides ample room for a dedicated study area, creating a highly functional yet welcoming introduction to the property. Flowing seamlessly in an open plan design from the hall is a cozy snug, which serves as another break out space that features a wood burning stove and traditional flagstone floor.
Accessed via double doors from the hall is one of the most delightful rooms in the house, the impressive orangery. This is a remarkably versatile space that links the garden effortlessly to the interior. The current owners utilise it as a combination of a dining room and a family room, making it ideal for both entertaining and quiet daily relaxation.The principal living room also boasts double doors that open to a different part of the garden and is a lovely, spacious setting for larger family gatherings.
The open plan breakfast kitchen forms the true hub of day to day family life, offering ample space for a substantial dining table and chairs. It comes equipped with a good range of appliances and features double doors leading directly out to the garden. Situated just off the kitchen is a useful utility room, which houses the central heating boiler and provides dedicated space for essential white goods.
At the first level, the accommodation continues to impress in every regard. The landing is an attractive area in its own right, with its primary architectural feature being a wooden spindled balustrade. In total, there are five bedrooms arranged across this floor, ensuring plentiful accommodation for family and guests alike. The principal bedroom is hugely impressive, having a large built in wardrobe and a dedicated dressing area, a really excellent overall space. It also enjoys the benefit of an ensuite bathroom, while the second double bedroom also has the useful benefit of its own ensuite shower room, of really good proportion. The three further bedrooms are well proportioned and are served by a family bathroom. If five bedrooms are not needed, these could easily be utilised instead as a studies or hobby rooms. The loft space is easily accessed and is partly boarded.
To the front, there is ample off-road parking alongside direct access to the garage. The garden itself occupies a large corner plot and is blessed by a lawn that makes this a fantastic, safe space for children to play. This outdoor area is incredibly versatile, allowing future owners to use it in different ways to suit the varying needs of families. The current owners have been pleased to see the use and layout of the external space vary as the children grew from youngster to adults. Within the garden is a workshop shed, wood store and very useful shed.
The location is also key for those who value convenient access to commercial hubs – Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool are all under 1 hour and 25 minutes away. On a day to day basis there are extensive amenities in nearby Sandiway, Cuddington, Hartford, Weaverham, Northwich and Tarporley.
For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
