Lot 1 - A 19th century farmhouse requiring a scheme of modernisation and adjoining 1.2 acre paddock on the edge of a popular village
Situation
Manor Farm and Barns are situated in the sought-after hamlet of Whatcroft approximately 1.5 mile to the east of Davenham forming part of the wider estate and come to the open market for the first time in a considerable period.
The house is set in tranquil position surrounded by open countryside yet there is an excellent range of local shops locally in Davenham including convenience store, Post Office and garage in addition to the Village Hall, Café and Pubs including The Hayhurst Arms which is within a short walk of the village. A wider range of amenities are available in the nearby town of Northwich. Local recreational facilities include Delamere and Hartford Golf clubs and Davenham village has its own cricket club. In Northwich there are sports club, gyms, football club and racket sports in addition to horse racing at Chester and Bangor-on- Dee with good hacking, various professional riding schools and livery available locally.
Commuting to the commercial centres of the north west and beyond is straightforward with easy access to the M6 and the property is within 4.4 miles of Hartford which has a connecting train at Crewe train station providing a 1hr35 direct service to London. There are international airports at Manchester & Liverpool respectively.
Description
Manor Farm is an imposing period property constructed of common brick bond under a slate pitched roof with tall chimney stacks, timber barge boards and ornate finials. The façade is that of a typical farmhouse with part render, black and white front believing to date from the mid-19th century with evidence of extension at a later date. Whilst the property would benefit from a scheme of modernisation, the accommodation is comfortable and liveable being occupied until recently being arranged predominantly over two floors with the benefit of oil central heating. One cannot ignore the potential the property holds as there is scope to extend and remodel subject to gaining a satisfactory planning permission.
An Oak front door opens into the galleried entrance hall, to either side of the hall are the principal reception rooms comprising sitting room and lounge in addition to the kitchen beyond. The sitting room is well-proportioned and cosy room with corner open fire and front garden aspect. The lounge is the largest of the reception rooms with a tall ceiling and brick open fireplace.
Off the hall is a large kitchen which contains a centre island, farmhouse style fitted wall and base units incorporating high gloss splash back and stainless steel sink unit. There is a rear boot room opening to the utility room, separate wc and an independent access to the rear courtyard. Accessed externally is an adjoining workshop and store rooms which have historically formed part of the working kitchen for the house. Both rooms could be reintegrated into the living quarters, arranged as ancillary accommodation or home office should either be required.
The first floor accommodation is accessed via a turned timber staircase from the hall to a landing. From the landing access is gained to a front double bedroom with two further double bedrooms served by a separate bathroom. A corridor leads to the master bedroom suite complimented by a dressing area and ensuite shower room. On the second floor there is a potential 5th bedroom.
