5 bedroom house

An exquisite, five bedroom, four bathroom, 3300 square feet converted Manor House, set in a village centre plot of garden and paddock extending to 0.77 acre, with detached double garage and studio

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This exceptional detached residence blends a number of excellent features that makes for a very special and rare buying opportunity.

So often period houses are pined after, but when it comes to the crunch, they lack the contemporary quality and open plan living formats that modern families require. This one off property, known as 'Tarvin Manor' is the glorious exception to the rule. It was meticulously restored in 2012 / 2013 by a renowned local builder who is known for his dedication, skill and attention to detail.

The end result is a stunning family home that blends period features and original character with cutting edge contemporary quality, modern design concepts and a use of the highest grade building materials. Examples of the specification and features include bay windows, the whole of the downstairs being underfloor heated, a combination of limestone and solid oak flooring in different rooms, a 'Clear View' stove to the living room, bespoke handmade kitchen with quality appliances, central island, granite preparation surfaces and fully tiled bathrooms which incorporate 'Villeroy and Boch', 'Duravit' and 'Victoria and Albert' hardware. The South-facing gardens wrap around the property and, in combination with the very sizeable garden to the rear, give a sense of seclusion rarely found in such a central village location.

It is not an exaggeration to say that every room impresses and this is a house that combines tasteful understated class with many 'wow' elements. Highlights? Well if the above is not enough, let me name three. The first is the open plan kitchen, dining and family room. It delivers everything - a 32'7 x 28'9 space, a southerly aspect, huge amounts of natural light, bi-fold doors, exceptional quality and a family space that is, in my view, as good as it gets.

Second - the master bedroom suite. Elegance, aspects, space and quality are the watchwords here. The third is the plot - over 0.75 acre in a village centre is very rare and this incorporates a detached double garage with studio over.

As a company, we have been entrusted with some wonderful houses to sell and this competes with the very best of them. For those requiring a connection to Tarporley and Chester, this property is ideally located and the space, finish and value for money is unquestionable.
