Private, yet perfectly accessible for walks as well as village amenities, tucked off the road leading into Weaverham, discover spacious living with glorious garden space for all the family, at No. 174, Northwich Road.

Welcome home
Pull onto the imprinted concrete driveway, where there is plenty of parking for six or more cars, with an EVC point alongside a garage, large enough to also serve as a utility area at the rear, with sink and storage alongside a washer and dryer.

Peacefully tucked behind a mature, high hedge, with a manicured lawn to the front, sense the separation from the wider world before you even set foot through the front door.

A sheltered front door opens to the entrance hallway within, where parquet flooring extends underfoot, and a wide, carpeted staircase leads up ahead, the bannister curving uniquely around at the top to a large, light filled landing.

In the entrance hall, handsome wooden chair rails and architraves add character, with storage available beneath the stairs.

OWNER QUOTE: ?We love the kitchen diner that goes through to the conservatory. Even in winter it?s warm in here; we like sitting in here looking out over the garden.?

Heart of the home
Off the entrance hall, step through onto the tiled floor of the contemporary kitchen, where iridescent black granite worktops gleam in the sunlight. White cabinetry houses an abundance of storage, whilst an array of fitted appliances includes an inbuilt coffee machine, microwave, wine cooler, dishwasher and pull-out larder cupboards to either side of the American style fridge, plumbed for fresh cold water and ice. There is also a Rangemaster-style dual oven with extractor and built-in recycling bins.

With plinth and undercabinet lighting, create the appropriate ambience for your mood.

A capacious room, with vaulted ceiling and roof lights, there is ample space for a dining table before the French doors which offer instant access out to the patio terrace. Step outside with ease in the summer months, to enjoy alfresco dining and family barbecues.

From the kitchen there is access into the garage, with utility area to the rear, and also access to a separate cloakroom with wash basin and WC.

Easy flow
Also nestled off the kitchen is the large conservatory, private, peaceful and with views out over the garden. Patio doors lead out to the paved terrace, perfect for afternoon drinks in the summer sun.

OWNER QUOTE: ?When it goes dark the lighting gives you the sense of sitting in a cathedral. We love watching bats in the evenings.?

Follow the phenomenal flow of this home through from the conservatory into the lounge, a peaceful, bright yet cosy room, where quirky windows to either side of the fireplace draw in light.

Relax and unwind
Warmth emanates from the gas fire, with ample space for sofas and armchairs, enabling you to relax, unwind and admire the views through the patio doors in the conservatory and out to the garden, where colourful, successional planting brings delight to every season. Currently carpeted underfoot, original parquet flooring still lies beneath.

Reconnect with the entrance hallway, continuing directly across to reach the living room, where a broad bay window with leaded lites looks out to the driveway and fields over the road.

A large, light room, versatile in its layout, it could serve as a playroom, games room or dining room, warmed by an open fire.

Also nestled to the front of the home, the study again affords fantastic views out over the front garden, through a large window with leaded detail. Ideal for those running their own business from home, the office has access outside via an external door.

OWNER QUTE: ?Working from home, it?s great not to be staring at a wall, the views are lovely, and I can watch the world go by.?

Bedtime beckons

To the left, discover a bountiful double bedroom, looking out to the flowering cherry blossom tree at the front. Muted shades feature throughout the home, with original picture rails throughout the bedrooms.

Back on the landing, next door lies the main bathroom, with fitted storage, WC, wash basin and bath with overhead shower. Modernised within the last eight years, this family bathroom features contemporary wet wall, LED lighting and extractor fan.

Along the landing two further, capacious double bedrooms await, overlooking the front and with a burst of colour to the feature walls. Versatile rooms, one currently serves as a second home office.


A haven for nature
OWNER QUOTE: ?What we?ve loved, sitting eating breakfast, is seeing different colours pop up every day.?

Outside, the large garden to the rear is a haven for nature, home to visiting birds including blue tits, and with an area devoted to wildflowers, encouraging butterflies and pollinators.

Entertain on the large patio area, perfect for barbecues and all your garden furniture. Spacious but relatively low maintenance, established borders brim with spring and summer perennials, carpeted with snowdrops, daffodils, bluebells and lily of the valley, with roses, camelias and rhododendrons putting on a spectacular show of colour in summertime.

Separating the lower garden from the upper garden, beyond the vibrant borders there is plenty of space on the lawn for a kickabout with a football or a game of badminton.

To the front, the cherry blossom tree is accompanied by a Canadian acer burning a spectacular golden red in autumn.

Storage can be found in the large garden shed, with two outdoor electricity points - one at the front and one at the back alongside an outdoor tap. Fully alarmed, the home is served by CCTV, and fibre broadband.

OWNER QUOTE: ?Both children learned to their ride bikes on the top garden. It?s just so private ? and not overlooked at all.?
