" Full Address Hazeldene, 28 West Road, Weaverham, Cheshire, CW8 3HL

Experience Edwardian grandeur in the heart of the pretty Cheshire village of Weaverham, at the homely and welcoming Hazeldene.

Beneath the crook of the River Weaver, weaving past the tip of the village to the north, Weaverham is perfectly placed, just west of the thriving town of Northwich, five minutes from Hartford and within around 20 minutes commute of Manchester and Liverpool Airports.

Pull off West Road and onto the large gravel driveway of Hazeldene, an imposing, turn of the century redbrick home with an attractive verandah to the front, quarry tiled underfoot and embellished in decorative foliage installed by an award winning local florist.

OWNER QUOTE Hazeldene is very private; we were attracted by the privacy and size of the garden it s safe and secure for children they can explore for hours.

Period grandeur
Securely gated to the side, plenty of parking is available at the front and rear of Hazeldene, where the large gravel driveway leads to a two storey oak framed double garage with large room above, accessed via external stairs and less than two years old. A blank canvas, this room could be ideal as a games room, office, or even bedroom. Outside, screened from view, there is also an EVC point.

OWNER QUOTE Hazeldene was built in 1908. The local doctor used to live here; back then, people would come to visit him at home to seek advice.

Beyond the elegant arched verandah, make your way to the period front door with its original bell pull and stunning stained glass.

Welcome home
Stepping inside, freshly laid tiling extends underfoot, drawing together the well conceived and contemporary Farrow & Ball palette of soft grey, fresh white and austere black that features on the panelled walls and impressive staircase with its carpet runner, black rods and striking black newel post.

Understated grandeur exudes, moving from room to room, with fresh, light d cor working in harmony with the original features for a home that celebrates its heritage without being restricted by it.

Recently refreshed, new flooring has been installed throughout the home in the last three months, with fresh paint and two reinvigorated bathrooms.

Family time
Swimming in light, step through into the playroom on the left. A grandly proportioned room, with a deep box bay window to the front overlooking the drive, high hedging provides plenty of privacy whilst traditional style radiators imbue the room with warmth.

Carpeted in cream, a large fireplace with open fire inset within original tiling adds character. Feature wallpaper dresses the chimney breast, as light flows in through an additional window to the side. Soft blue shades attend the walls beneath the traditional picture rail, with fresh white above.

Relax and unwind
Across the entrance hall, also awash with light, discover the main lounge. Champagne coloured carpet extends underfoot, with skimmed plaster shades to the wall for a peaceful, tranquil ambience. Winter nights are warmed by the log burning stove with original woodwork in the chimney breast harmonising with modern contributions from a talented local joiner in the media unit with fitted storage.

Original sash windows, retained and maintained, to the side and rear draw in the daylight, whilst providing far reaching views out over the extensive rear garden. Picture rails and coving are characterful above.

OWNER QUOTE The lounge feels very private, it s a huge space, the kids have plenty of room.

Feast your eyes
Returning to the entrance hall, make your way through to the spacious breakfast kitchen. Emanating warmth and welcome is the Range cooker on the back wall, surrounded by tasteful Ted Baker tiles.

OWNER QUOTE It was important for me to retain an informal dining space for the children, the island is a great space for breakfast and making packed lunches.

Shaker style cabinetry accommodates all your storage needs, with recently refurbished maple worktops. Views over the garden and hot tub extend from the window above the Belfast sink, as further light flows in through a window by the door. Beside the door is the perfect baking corner, with plenty of sockets for your mixer.

Practical places
Step through to the utility room, where further storage can be found alongside plumbing for the washer dryer. A practical place with plenty of shelving, there is space for all your pantry essentials. A wide window overlooks the length of the garden, allowing you to keep a convenient eye on the children at play.

Also opening up off the kitchen is the dining room, where panelling to the lower walls adds a formal feel, also concealing fitted storage. Wonderful at Christmas time, gather the family for the feast, with leafy views out over the garden through a large sash window.

And so to bed
Reconnecting with the entrance hall, sneak a peek at the elegantly decorated cloakroom with WC and wash basin, before ascending the handsome staircase up to the first floor.

Turning immediately left at the first landing, discover the master suite, peacefully and privately secluded from the remaining four bedrooms, on its own landing.

Recently fitted, the stylish ensuite shower room features grey metro splashback tiling, with a traditional style shower, wash basin and WC. Detailed tiling borrows its motif from the entrance hall for a mellifluous finish.

Sweet dreams
Relaxation awaits in the master bedroom, where there is ample space for wardrobes and drawers, alongside a king size bed. The bay window invites a constant flow of light in, with neutral, light shades of Farrow & Ball to the walls. With cream carpet underfoot, the restored fireplace adds character.

Returning to the landing, continue up the stairs to arrive at a second bedroom on the left. Elegant coving, picture rail and original fireplace add a quaint charm, with leafy views from the window. Currently accommodating a guest bed and a small, fitted cupboard this room offers cosy warmth.

Along the landing, blush beige tones dress the walls of bedroom five, a peaceful room, ideal as a nursery or study, with plush carpet underfoot.

Soothe your soul
At the end of the landing, soothe your soul in the recently refurbished bathroom. With panelling to the walls, a large, freestanding tub with floor mounted tap set before the plantation shutter fitted window, this stylish bathroom also features a herringbone tiled shower, large vanity unit with twin wash basins and WC.

Retracing your steps to the lower landing, follow the stairs up and round to the front, arriving at a large landing serenaded in light that streams in through a handsome stained glass window. Currently used as an office, the landing is a bountiful space.

Immediately on the left, a double bedroom with fitted window seat and plantation shutters overlooks the garden.

Next door, another spacious double bedroom, with original feature fireplace, provides views out to the front through a window dressed in plantation shutters.

Sunshine, shelter and seclusion
From the entrance hall, the rear door opens to a quarry tiled terrace, with space for a bistro table and chairs, perfect for a morning coffee. You can also take your coffee and cake in the pretty verandah to the front, where mirrors reflect the light and there is a cushioned bench upon which to rest and relax.

A secluded sanctuary, the rear garden also features a substantial Indian stone paved patio, where a wood fired hot tub is hidden from sight behind high, mature green hedging.

OWNER QUOTE We could not find a garden anywhere else that had the privacy of this garden.

Perfectly private and not at all overlooked, the patio is expansive, and perfect for parties and socialising, with a brick built pizza oven.

Beyond the patio, the lawn stretches far back to the boundary, where high hedging provides shelter and shade, ideal for hiding Easter eggs ready for the hunt.

A wonderful garden for children, explore the fun of growing your own fruit and veg in the polytunnel, and collect fresh eggs from the chicken coop. A modernised outdoor WC with wash basin allows children to play out and enjoy hours of wholesome fun without needing to bring the mud and leaves indoors.
