" A beautifully situated five bedroom, three bathroom Grade II Listed converted country residence with delightful courtyard garden and superb attached garage of substantial size and potential, no chain

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

Offered for sale with no ongoing chain, this unique residence is fully deserving of its Grade II Listed status, being a converted dwelling of substantial character, history and quality. It is set in a most delightful semi rural position amongst similarly high quality yet unique homes.

The initial approach is glorious, with a sweeping driveway flanked by glorious countryside leading to the subject property?s own private driveway. As one would expect of a dwelling of such history and stature, the property is rich in character and original features. These include oak beams and beautiful fire places. These features combine with the practicality of well insulated walls and ceilings, making this dwelling of character and age unusually energy efficient. It also has a large attached garage and overall considerable potential to adapt the house further to suit individual requirements. A viewing of this lovely home will start to make more obvious the many options that exist.

The space is extensive and highly versatile. As presently configured there are four to five bedrooms, two receptions, a large kitchen and two landings one of which is galleried. The floorplan demonstrates the layout more fully.

The attached garage is notably large and offers significant scope, subject to planning to be used as a home office, games room annexe or music room. There is also scope for it to be integrated into the main dwelling. The more adventurous may even seek permission to split the property into two.

The gardens and grounds are laid out for ease of maintenance enclosed by feature walling, laurel hedging, stone and pink gravel landscaping to both sides of the property which will enable the enjoyment of the sun throughout the day. The design maximises beauty but minimises on going maintenance, whilst being ideal for barbecues and a completely safe play area for children. There is extensive parking to the front in the cobbled courtyard.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office.
