Description - Greenfields occupies a peaceful, rural location in south Cheshire, accessed off a quiet lane and surrounded by open countryside. The property was originally a single storey dwelling, which was redeveloped and extended into two storey house with integral garage and studio.

The house is of brick and block construction with painted rendered elevations, under a tiled roof. The property has an attractive gable end with picture window and balcony to take advantage of the lovely views. The accommodation, which is served by oil fired central heating, is well proportioned and superbly laid out for family living. It is made up of three reception rooms, a well fitted kitchen/breakfast room, four double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, one of which is en-suite.

The downstairs layout is open plan which provides a feeling of space and light, with the sitting room, lounge, garden room and kitchen all offering superb informal entertaining spaces. Both the sitting room and lounge have woodburners, the lounge being a Clearview and the sitting room a Barbas. The sitting room also benefits from French doors out into the garden.
The kitchen incorporates a black, oil-fired Rayburn, an integrated dishwasher, double oven, fridge and a range of cupboards with drawers beneath the work surfaces. There is a central island with cream painted cupboards with pan drawers and wine rack, all beneath an oak work surface. The utility room also has a range of fitted units, integrated freezer and sink with mixer tap. From the utility room, a stable door leads you out through a handy porch area and then onto the attractive gardens with pond and paved pathways beyond. The oil tank is also neatly placed here, along with the Worcester boiler and spacious garden shed.

At the far end of the house is the study/5th bedroom, which has a pull-down double bed and integrated wardrobe. On the opposite side of the hall there is a shower room and airing cupboard.

The first floor has four double bedrooms, three of which have vaulted ceilings, along with two comprehensively fitted bathrooms.

Outside - The property is approached from Hampton Post Lane, through a wooden gate which leads you onto the large, gravelled drive and parking area. To the side of the house there is the garage which has two up and over doors with a staircase to a first-floor studio which would be suitable for use as an office or games room. Alternatively, this could be converted to further bedroom accommodation subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents.

The principal gardens are to the south of the house and are laid to lawn with a variety of flowering trees and shrubs to include rhododendron, azalea, magnolia and acer together with various different types of holly.

A flagged terrace adjoins the house and leads around to the ornamental garden with pond and a garden shed.

At the end of the garden is a paddock together with a range of timber stables, comprising 3 loose boxes and tack room. Behind the equestrian facilities is a unique timber framed observatory and beyond this is an idyllic pond and orchard.
