Ridley Hill Farm, Ridley

Offering exceptional value, beautiful converted barn of over 2400 square feet, with large garden, double garage, extensive parking, two acre paddock, brick and slate stable block and superb rural views.
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This is the property equivalent of a human renaissance man, being an outstandingly versatile and well rounded home, which consists of not just a 2400 square feet converted barn but also a large garden, double garage, superb views and for those with an equestrian interest a two acre paddock with high quality brick and slate outbuilding. As a package, it is superb value for money.

Approached by a shared sweeping driveway, which in itself is an inspirational first impression, the subject property forms part of an impressive development, originally built around 1850 and converted in 1989.

This particular part of Ridley has proven an excellent selling area through the years and this most welcome addition to the market is likely to generate significant interest.

The barn itself has been subject to a comprehensive scheme of redecoration by the present owner and they have also overseen the installation of a high quality, easy on the eye new kitchen, which forms the hub of day to day living.

The versatility of the layout is notable and the room sizes impressive. There are in total two ground floor reception rooms, five bedrooms, an en suite, family bathroom and first floor sitting room / office.
The garden has been beautifully landscaped and enjoys open views of countryside to the rear. There is also ample driveway parking, a double garage and access to a residents tennis court and paddock.

Those with an equestrian passion will be interested in the paddock of circa two acres and a brick stable block which serves it ideally. This building has water, electricity and a designated tack room. The outbuilding does have residential planning consent so this does have potential to be a super home for a family member, if required.

Offering excellent value, a viewing is strongly recommended.

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