Tilston Road, Malpas, Cheshire

Overton House is a substantial brick built country home, spread across 3 floors with an abundance of entertaining areas and spacious accommodation. It holds the very desirable position of being just on the edge of a popular and well serviced village whilst also enjoying stunning uninterrupted views across beautiful countryside.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a spacious reception hall with a staircase to the first floor. The drawing room, entered through double doors, is well-proportioned with a feature fireplace and doors out to the front terrace. The sitting room has built in storage and a fireplace, while the formal dining room has double doors out to the private courtyard. From the family room both the utility, boot room and downstairs shower are accessed, along with the kitchen/breakfast room via a small set of steps.

The kitchen is well fitted with wall and base cabinetry and includes an Aga, breakfast bar and space for a full sized dining table. Both the pantry with the original front door, and the conservatory can be accessed from this room. The house also benefits from a central vacuum system.

From the first floor galleried landing the three bedroom suites and fourth bedroom are accessed. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe, en suite bathroom with jack and jill sinks, and double doors out to a charming balcony, while the second bedroom suite includes a fitted dressing room and en suite shower room, and doors out to the rear balcony with external stone steps down to the garden. The third suite also provides fitted storage, a separate dressing room and an en suite shower, although this separate dressing room could itself be utilised as a further bedroom with en suite shower room.

To the second floor are 2 further bedrooms, both with eaves storage with a shared W.C.. There is also access to further loft storage which could be converted. For guest privacy, this area can also be closed off, giving the second floor rooms private access to the first floor family bathroom.

The landscaped gardens are surrounded by mature hedgerows, with fencing along the south-west boundary and include the swimming pool, separate changing rooms and shower facilities, an Artic Lodge delightfully named, "The Hobbit House", and an good sized open sided oak structure with kitchen facilities.
