Forest Hill, Hartford, Northwich

Unique and compelling individual detached residence of 3000 square feet, on the rural edge of Hartford, set in half an acre and with numerous features of merit including double garage and outdoor pool.
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

No one can have missed the fact that property values and sale rates in Hartford village have increased considerably in the past five years. This is no surprise given the excellent combination of amenities, geographical position and access to nearby countryside.

A considerable amount of high value transactions have been focussed on newer build property on larger estates. Accordingly, the desirability of individual property on larger plots on the rural edge of the village are in ever increasing demand. The subject property is a prime example of this and is both unique and hugely appealing.

Accessed via a private lane, leading to a select collection of individual homes, the approach is in itself a real feature. Upon arrival, passing a Narnia style lamp post as you head up the gated driveway, the scale of the dwelling becomes apparent, with the internal size measuring 3000 square feet. The plot is also a major feature, being circa half an acre and incorporating detached double garage, outdoor pool, long driveway and stunning landscaped gardens.

Internally this is a wonderful family home with extensive single storey accommodation that is flexible, adaptable, light and elegant. There are in total four reception rooms, an outstanding quality breakfast kitchen, three large double bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is enormous potential for the new owner to adapt and further enhance to suit individual requirements.

Given the land and property size, this offers excellent value and the property is offered with no ongoing chain.
