Pumping Station Houses, Stone House Lane, Peckforton, Tarporley

Set in an excellent semi-rural position near Peckforton village, this three bedroom home with great potential is being sold with no onwards chain and benefits from off road parking and a lovely rear garden

Comment from Oliver Weston of Gascoigne Halman

This is a very rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a property in Peckforton that hasn't been marketed before.

Viewers will see that the home offers great potential for cosmetic improvements but pleasingly has been well maintained throughout its years as a long term rental with recent checks including a boiler and oil tank service in 2023 and an Electrical installation condition report in 2020.

The internal space is very strong with the ground floor offering two reception rooms that currently offer an open plan style, although they could easily be separated should you prefer. Both of these rooms enjoy views of the garden to the rear. The kitchen sits at the front of the property taking in the countryside beyond and accesses the practical space to the side of the house that houses a storage cupboard, cloakroom and workshop.

On the first floor are the three bedrooms, two of which being comfortable double sizes and all three being served by the family bathroom.

The property enjoys a lovely rear garden that offers an impressive amount of space to work with and has been landscaped to offer a mix of planters, lawn, bedding areas and patio. Being West facing the garden enjoys plenty of sun throughout the day and enjoys elevated views of the countryside towards the front and the lovely hillside woodland behind.

As locations go Peckforton offers the perfect one for rural life. From your front door you can access some of Cheshire's most beautiful scenery with routes connecting to the sandstone trail and walks taking in views of the nearby Peckforton and Beeston castles. Whilst families enjoy the locality to the popular Cheshire Ice Cream farm, adults may be more excited by the very well regarded Pheasant Inn at Burwardsley.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office.

Location

The picturesque village of Peckforton is found a few miles to the south of the sought after village of Tarporley. The village, which is essentially a rural hamlet comprises of a collection of period farmhouses and cottages adjoining open countryside and long regarded as one of the most scenic parts of the county. Rural walks can be found closeby along the Sandstone Trail and other nearby routes that run through the Beeston & Peckforton foothills.

The villages of Bunbury & Tarporley are both reached within a short drive through the country lanes and offer a comprehensive range of amenities and services including shops, convenience stores, doctors' surgery, chemist, several churches, pubs & restaurants. The historic city and county town of Chester is just 16 miles to the west with many high street retailers complemented by out of town retail parks including the Outlet Village at Cheshire Oaks.

For those needing schools there are successful primary and secondary schools in Tarporley & Bunbury and for those seeking private education there is a strong selection locally including The Grange at Hartford, Abbeygate College at Saighton and The King's & Queen's Schools in Chester.

On the recreational front there are thriving sports clubs in the neighbouring villages catering for cricket, tennis, football, hockey & squash and on the edge of Tarporley the Portal Premier & Championship Golf Courses. For the equestrian followers there is horse racing at Chester & Bangor-on-Dee, polo at Little Budworth and for the racing enthusiasts a motor racing circuit at nearby Oulton Park.

Despite the rural location the area is extremely accessible for all areas of commerce throughout the North West including the Chester Business Park, Deeside Industrial Park and Wrexham Industrial Estate. Liverpool & Manchester are both within daily travelling distance courtesy of the M53 & M56 motorways. To the south the A49/A41 connects with the M54 allowing for ease of access to The Potteries, Telford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. Liverpool and Manchester international airports are 28 and 32 miles respectively and for travel to London there is a 1hr 35mins rail service from Crewe Station to Euston.

Turn right at this crossroads to stay on the A49 towards Whitchurch. Proceed along passing the former cattle market on the right hand side and take a right turn onto Dean Bank. Carry on along the lanes as Dean Bank becomes Peckforton Road as you pass through the village of Beeston and the turning for Tattenhall Lane on your right. Continue to follow Peckforton Road as the road becomes Stone House Lane.
