Hickhurst Lane, Rushton, Tarporley

PART EXCHANGE CONSIDERED Set in circa two acres, a sensational detached house, dating from 1790, completely renovated and substantially extended

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
PART EXCHANGE CONSIDERED

I can never think of a house in my twenty year career to date that deserves the tag line of VIEWING ESSENTIAL more than this incredible farmhouse in the hamlet of Rushton, just under three miles from Tarporley village centre. It has been a real joy to see it renovated from top to bottom in the last year as well as being extended in a stylish yet sympathetic manner.
It now boasts a stunning array of features that makes it, without question, a landmark property in the locality and a best in class example.

Listed within this advert is a detailed specification of every room and feature, full square footage floorplans and an accompanying video that showcases the abundant array of quality on offer. So, rather than repeat it all here, let me bring to your attention three of my personal highlights.

The first thing to note here is that this is very much a passion project, with the owners of Bawk House having totally dedicated themselves to the mission of helping this property reach its full potential. They have drawn together a team of top professionals and then worked on the house through the day and often long into night in order to deliver the exceptional home it has become, with an unstinting commitment to quality, meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful intelligent design in every regard. This even extends to the outside, with solar panels installed and an EV charging point.

The second thing I particularly love is the way the owners of Bawk House have invested in features that are not only very rare, but also in unique, bold, non conventional and innovative.

The Blum Pocket Door system in the kitchen is the first of its type in the UK so is a trailblazer for such a design, whilst the bespoke staircase, which is the focal point of the magnificent entrance hall, was made specifically for the house and imported from Europe. There is also a recognition of modern technology, with a state of the art Loxone Smart Home system. Then of course there is the Chefs kitchen which is a fabulous concept, existing as an addition to the main kitchen and being comprehensively equipped.

Thirdly, this is a location that combines privacy and the joy of rural beauty with the security and advantage of high quality neighbours, which has led to a lovely mini community being formed without compromising the sense of getting away from it all.
The main driveway is flanked by farmland and leads to the subject property which sits in around two acres, has spectacular unspoilt views to the rear, its own gated driveway, paddocks, landscaped formal gardens, a feature walled garden and triple garage.
They are my highlights but what will be yours? There are plenty to choose from! Come and take a look for yourself¿¿..

Location
Rushton is a beautiful semi rural hamlet that enjoys excellent links to adjoining places of interest whilst retaining a clear and unambiguous rural identity. It is situated under three miles from Tarporley Village, eleven miles from Nantwich and fourteen miles from Chester City Centre.

Rushton is only a short drive away from the Georgian High Street of Tarporley - one of Cheshire's most highly regarded villages that boasts a diverse selection of amenities including a community centre, tennis courts, convenience stores, fashion boutiques, cafes, restaurants, public houses, Doctors surgery and three Churches.

The area as a whole is also renowned for its excellent educational facilities with the highly regarded Eaton Primary School the nearest from the house itself. Tarporley High School has consistently maintained a strong reputation through the years whilst those seeking a wider choice of schools will find ample provision by virtue of the Grange School in Hartford and in Chester with the impressive choice of King's, Queen's and Abbey Gate College.

The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside and places of significant interest that include Oulton Park Race Circuit, ancient castles and the outstanding Delamere Forest. Wonderful walks are provided in the area via the nearby Whitegate Way and Sandstone Trail.

Whilst the area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, the house also offers an excellent base for the business traveller. In terms of road links, there are extensive connections to the M56, M6 and M53. The A49, A51 and A55 all link to key to areas of commerce and interest.

With regards to railway services, there are stations at Hartford, Crewe, Winsford, Nantwich and Chester. The majority of the above operating on either the Chester - Manchester or Liverpool - London lines. Fantastic connections can be enjoyed at Crewe railway station, with the service to London taking just over 90 minutes. Manchester and Liverpool International Airports are both within 45 minutes drive as is Media City UK.

DIRECTIONS

From the Agents Tarporley office, take a left turn out of the village in the direction of Chester and take the third right onto Forest Road. Proceed up Forest Road and just opposite the left turn into Heath Green take the right turn onto Cobblers Cross Lane and immediately first left onto Sapling Lane. Proceed down Sapling Lane until reaching a "Stop" crossroads in Eaton Village. At this point turn left on onto Eaton Lane and then the first right onto Lower Lane. Proceed, passing the primary school on the right and the Drays coffee shop on the left. Having driven for circa one and a half miles, the driveway entrance will be found on the left hand side, clearly marked by a Gascoigne Halman for sale board. The subject property will be found on the left hand side at the head of the drive and is accessed through its own private gated entrance.
