School Lane, Bunbury

Located in the heart of Bunbury and set in a wonderful south facing plot, an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial single storey portion of a house of stature and character.

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This is a unique gem in the centre of the village, unlike anything else presently for sale.
The property comprises a three bedroom property, with all rooms located on the ground floor, within a detached double fronted Victorian old school masters house. It can accordingly be seen as a large bungalow configuration, a maisonette apartment of simply a semi detached single storey dwelling.

The obvious advantage, in addition to the outstanding location, is the large driveway and superb south facing English country garden to the rear. The position combines village centrality with the feeling and impression of a very private rural escape.

The home is full of charm and characterful accommodation (high ceilings, wooden flooring and rustic brickwork) with lots of additional architectural features and impressive proportions.

The spacious living room is a striking focal point for entertainment, providing an attractibe ambiance for relaxing evenings. Large windows bathe the room in natural light, looking out towards the nearby cricket field. The spacious dining room, with its beautiful Victorian fireplace, has steps down to the garden. The main bedroom boasts a large bay window and the second bedroom is also a good size with original sash window. Bedroom three is currently being used as a dressing room and could also be a useful study.

The kitchen is at the rear of the property and overlooks the large secluded south facing garden. There is also access to the courtyard from the garden, which has a brick built storage area.

The property also has the scope to extend providing additional living space, subject to the necessary planning permissions being granted.
For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.

Location

Located within Cheshire's beautiful countryside, Bunbury is highly sought after and well known as one of the most picturesque villages in the area.

The village itself has a wonderful community feel and boasts a variety of amenities, from the local's favourite Tilly's café, to the very popular village fish & chip shop.

The natural beauty and history of the village is perfectly encapsulated by St Boniface Church, an architecturally stunning building that dates back over 1,000 years. The Church is very well supported, has an active congregation with a substantial range of activities every week.

Recreationally there are wonderful walking routes nearby including around the popular historic grounds of Beeston & Peckforton Castles. The village also has its own cricket and tennis clubs as well as three public houses; the Nags Head, Yew Tree Inn and the highly regarded Dysart Arms, which has a superb beer garden that overlooks the impressive Parish Church.
