DESCRIPTION
Ryecroft House occupies an enviable position in West Cheshire, enjoying a peaceful rural location within a short drive of Chester and commutable to all major areas in the north west. Built during 2021 and 2022 by award winning developer Marcol Homes the property has been completed to an extremely high specification with quality materials and building techniques used throughout, giving rise to a B EPC rating and making for an environmentally and economically efficient building in keeping with modern standards.
The construction is of brick and block elevations with solid concrete floors, all under a slate roof with impressive high gables to the front and rear adding to the bespoke and architecturally impressive design. There is powder coated aluminium double glazing, high levels of insulation, and underfloor heating throughout save for one room, served by sophisticated air source and heat recovery systems, which help to create such an eco-friendly building, negating the need for fossil fuels while at the same time filtering the air and circulating around the house removing any excess to outside, each room also being individually thermostatically controlled.
The kitchen is bespoke and hand-made with high end appliances, and there is extensive use of porcelain tiling to many of the ground floor rooms and also the bath/shower rooms. The house has zoned ‘Lightwave’ and ‘Sonos’ light and sound systems both of which, along with the heating, can be controlled remotely.
The design is to take full advantage of the setting, with well-proportioned rooms having high coved ceilings, and lovely large windows providing open views to the front and rear across surrounding countryside including to Beeston Castle in the distance. The layout is highly adaptable and ideally suited to family living, particularly those who are seeking a property which can accommodate extended family or friends on occasion but which otherwise provides comfortable, but not excessively large living space, including an impressive lower ground floor entertainment suite which has tremendous natural light and in itself extends to close to 2,000 square feet.
From a light and airy entrance hall the two principal reception rooms are at the front of the house, each with deep recessed windows. The main day to day living area is at the rear and opens directly into a terrace and lawned garden via large glazed sliders.
The room provides a superb family living area with plenty of space for sofas, comfy chairs and dining table. At the working end of the room is a range of inset wall and floor units, hand painted by Farrow & Ball, with cupboards and drawers beneath Carrara stone work tops, integrated appliances to include fridge and freezer, NEFF dishwasher and wine fridge, a Mercury range cooker with double oven and induction hob, Franke double sink with mixer, and central island with NEFF microwave, breakfast bar, Qooker hot tap with sink and further storage. Beyond the kitchen is a study area with front and rear aspect, and the utility which ha further storage, space for washing machine and tumble dryer, door to the garden and also to the integral garage which has an electric roller door.
The staircase with glazed balustrade rises to a galleried landing with west facing vaulted picture window. The master suite is at the rear of the house overlooking the main garden and paddock, and also has part vaulted ceiling, magnificent en-suite bathroom with free standing oval bath, twin basin and oversized shower, and a comprehensively fitted dressing room with fitted range of wardrobes and central island. The remaining three bedrooms are large doubles all with en-suite shower rooms, each tiled in a slightly different style, and with quality sanitary ware including Axor shower fitments.
The lower ground floor is a spectacular part of Ryecroft House, designed to be used either as part of the main accommodation or as ancillary space, most suitable as a leisure suite, benefitting from natural light courtesy of three light wells into the bedroom, games room and gym all of which are protected by structural glass making for another bespoke design feature. There is a sauna by Tylo, and cinema room with fitted projector. The gym is spacious and comprehensively stocked with a range of equipment by Bowflex and TuffStuff, and beside which is a superb cellar incorporating a fitted range of wine racks and integrated fridge. The plant room accommodates the air source and heat recovery systems, which are all easily accessible for maintenance servicing as required.
In summary, Ryecroft House provides an exceptional opportunity to buy a spectacular country property, designed and built to be economically and environmentally friendly, and completed to a high specification throughout. Indeed, seldom are properties of this calibre and type offered for sale, particularly in West Cheshire, not least because very few exist.
