Hillfoot Lane, Newton, Frodsham

A character barn conversion in a delightful rural position, on the edge of Frodsham, surrounded by open countryside. This is a unique property with substantial accommodation offering exciting potential for updating and improvement.

The property forms part of a collection of former farm buildings in a lovely rural setting, just a mile from Kingsley Village and two miles from the centre of Frodsham.

The sale represents a rare buying opportunity with the property having been in the same ownership for around 40 years and it has only changed hands once before. The accommodation is generous, extending to almost 2500 sq ft (232 sq m). The original barn is thought to be over 150 years old and was converted to a house in the late 1970's by a reputable local builder. Care was taken to preserve character where possible with the introduction of oak beams, a Cheshire brick fireplace and a unique oak barrel staircase. The property is priced to reflect the need for modernisation. With investment and imagination, this is a potential forever home with some exciting possibilities.

The layout as configured provides a spacious entrance hall with cloakroom, a large living room, dining room and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room. The first floor offers five double bedrooms with flexibility for study/home office use. There are two bathrooms, one en-suite with over bath shower the other is a spacious family bathroom with modern suite and a large shower. The property has oil fired central heating although a new boiler is required. Double glazed windows are fitted.
