Norley Road, Kingsley, Frodsham

An exceptional detached period residence, set in grounds of circa six acres, enjoying superb rural views and having detached barn, stable block, garden with, paddocks and magnificent driveway approach.
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
You only get one chance to make a first impression. One of those catchy phrases which has a lot of truth in it. It is usually used to describe people but is equally applicable to property and when it comes to this wonderful home in Kingsley, the first impression could not be better, with a tree lined sweeping driveway approach leading to the front of the house.

This is a property that is particularly impressive as it has such a wide range and versatile range of attributes, both inside and out. The overall site extends to circa six acres and the outbuildings are excellent. The attractive brick barn extends to over 800 square feet and is situated towards the westerly boundary. The large five bay stable block is is over 1000 square feet, located towards the back paddocks and is ideal for those with horses, donkeys or ponies . Both buildings have potential for alternative uses, subject to relevant planning consents.

The other two external features to note are the amazing far reaching rural views, which are spectacular and the fact there are super walks on foot without any need to get into the car, making this an ideal location for those who enjoy walks or have children, dogs or both! There is direct access to bridal ways from the paddocks.

For those seeking to be the next Roger Federer, the tennis court should give you no excuse not to practice.


Internally this is a house of outstanding stature, quality, proportion, character and presence. Each room has its own personality and range of distinctive features and there is also great scope for a future buyer to integrate their own ideas and style. As the floorplan indicates, there is a little over 4000 square feet of accommodation. The ground floor has a wonderful reception hall (another excellent first impression!) and four reception rooms. Those like me who enjoy knocking in a 147 in the spare time will enjoy the snooker room! The open plan kitchen has a red AGA, double doors to the outside and views to the rear over the garden.

At first floor The Firs defies expectations for a house of this age with three en suites providing excellent day to day convenience. The remaining two double bedrooms are served by a particularly impressive family bathroom, which is well appointed and spacious.

We are honoured to be instructed to sell this wonderful home, which is offered with no chain. Whilst the pictures, floorplan and this write up give a comprehensive summary of what is on offer, nothing will better a viewing appointment to fully understand what a superb home and setting this is. Come and see for yourself and I can promise a most pleasing first impression!

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