Situation Overton House is uniquely situated on the outskirts of the very popular country village of Malpas which provides many of your daily requirements. Malpas has some very popular shops including a bakery, barbers, beauticians, convenience stores, village pubs, doctor's surgery, nursing home and an impressive church. For more comprehensive services, the former market town of Whitchurch is just 5 miles away, offering supermarkets and national retailers, as does Chester which is 15 miles away. Beyond this there are several out-of-town retail parks, including Chester, Wrexham and Cheshire Oaks at Ellesmere Port.
Schooling is well provided for with state primary schools in Malpas, Bickerton and Tilston. Bishop Heber High School in Malpas has an Ofsted rating of 'Outstanding'. There are also private schools locally including Abbeygate College at Saighton, Ellesmere College and the King's & Queen's Schools in Chester.
There are excellent communication links with easy access from the A41 to the M53 and M56 to the North and M54 to the south giving commutable journeys to Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham. London Euston can be reached within 1hour 41mins and 2 hours from Crewe and Chester railway stations. For travel further afield Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Manchester International Airport are within 38 and 46 miles respectively.
On the recreational front there is a sports club in Malpas offering football, cricket and tennis and locally golf courses at Carden Park, Aldersey Green and Hill Valley. Locally, there is horseracing at Chester and Bangor-On-Dee and hunting with the Wynnstay and Cheshire Hunt. A range of top-class equestrian centres and venues for training and competitions are all within easy reach from the property, including Tushingham Arena (4 miles) and Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre (17 miles).
Description Overton House has a private sweeping driveway off Tilston Road, linking the two villages of Malpas and Tilston. The gravel drive leads up to the front of the property where there is ample parking and turning area. The property is brick built under a tile roof and offers excellent family accommodation. There is a large garden and superb surrounding land with beautiful countryside views towards the Snowdonia Mountain range.
The front door leads into a large reception hallway with staircase leading to the first floor and a cloakroom. From the hallway there is access to the everyday sitting room, large principle drawing room and the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen has a range of ground and wall mounted units, with granite work surface. There is a four-oven AGA, along with a further integrated oven and four ring ceramic hob.
Off the kitchen is the conservatory/garden room, double doors leading onto the rear patio area and a family room which links the utility and boot room, along with the extensive dining room.
On the first floor is a large master suite with walk in wardrobe, large en-suite bathroom and balcony enjoying the fabulous views. The second bedroom also has a large dressing room, which leads onto a balcony with stairs leading to the garden. This room also has a shower en-suite. The third bedroom is a large double with dressing room and shower en-suite. The fourth bedroom is also a double with direct access to the family bathroom which can also be accessed off the landing for the second-floor bedrooms.
The second floor comprises two double bedrooms and a w.c. with sink unit and space where there has previously been a shower. There is extensive storage space under the eves in the bedrooms and in the large attic space which is accessed at this floor level along with built-in cupboards for storage and the comms hub for all the house wiring and cat-5 cabling.
Externally The property has several patio and entertaining areas to the front and rear. Leading off the kitchen/breakfast room onto the large rear patio, this leads up to the private gardens and outdoor swimming pool which are surrounded by mature trees and hedges. There are separate changing rooms with shower facilities adjacent to the plant room and the swimming pool is heated from an Air-source heat pump and solar water system to minimise the running costs which can be easily monitored. Across the garden is a purpose built, open sided oak structure having kitchen facilities with water and power connected. Further to this, is the 'Hobbit House', a circular timber building with internal bench seating that surrounds the central fire which can be used to cook on, great for entertaining family and friends.
At the front of the property is a large garage building with roller shutter door and storage to the rear. There is a further range of four garages currently utilised for storage. All these buildings have scope for change of use, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
Equestrian Facilities Off the main drive, there is a small track that leads up to the equestrian facilities which include a U-shaped timber building with cantilever and corrugated roof. This building has 6 stables in total with an open fronted hay store central to the building along with a separate feed room and tack room. The stables are set on a large expanse of concrete which is fully drained, electricity and water are connected. A useful concrete block muck clamp is located to one side of the stable yard and to the other is a smaller timber building with an additional two stables on metal skids set on the concrete pad. A separate entrance off Tilston Road provides an additional access for the stables and land.
Land The property is sat within 10.84 acres of land, of which the fields are split into grazing paddocks and cutting/mowing fields all having water connected. The land is well drained and gently slopes away from the stable yard. There would be scope to install a manege subject to the relevant permissions, as there are some good flat areas that could accommodate this. The main perimeter of the land is surrounded by a mature hedge along the roadside with post and rail fencing dividing the paddocks.
