4 bedroom house

A beautiful period residence, set in just under 2 acres, enjoying impressive levels of seclusion and privacy whilst perfectly positioned just ten minutes' drive from the centre of Tarporley village

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This is double fronted period house is a gem dating from circa 1930. It is set in outstanding gardens and grounds of circa two acres. A much-treasured family home for many years standing, the house has been continually upgraded and improved in a manner that is sympathetic to the original character of the house, including bespoke hardwood double-glazed windows.

As is typical of a house from this era, the entrance hall provides a spacious introduction to the accommodation. The principal living room has an open fire as its focal point and a lovely bay window. It is though the kitchen, which is the outstanding feature of the house, having been recently extended and refitted to a hugely impressive standard. Moreover double doors lead to the dining room with the feature multi-fuel burner fireplace, so the space can, if required, be opened up as one large open plan area. It is the unquestionable highlight of the accommodation.

Completing the ground floor is a stylish shower room and well-proportioned utility room.

At first floor level the master bedroom has an en-suite cloakroom and fitted wardrobes. There are two additional double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and a further single bedroom. The latter three being served by a family bathroom.

Externally there are wonderful grounds. They are principally laid to lawn, incorporating a one-acre paddock for possible equestrian use, terraced patios and a woodland / copse. Access to the Whitegate Way country footpath and bridleway is a short distance away.

This is a stunning environment and the perfect setting for family parties and those with a passion for the outdoors. The total size of the plot is just under 2 acres.

This is a property with great charisma and charm, well worthy of inspection and offering a rare buying opportunity.
