Spacious, 5 Bedroom home near the Whitegate Way

The Limes, Whitegate Road, Whitegate, CW7 2QT

Convenient country living

Balancing blissful countryside living with convenient connections to the wider world, The Limes is situated close to Beeston Castle and the Whitegate Way, yet just a stone’s throw from Chester, neighbouring towns Winsford and Hartford and several mainline rail links.

Ample parking for three or four cars is available on the block-paved driveway, where leafy borders and a neat lawn provide privacy from the road to the front. A spacious, double garage with two sage green, electric doors, is also available.

Make your way to the canopy covered front door, centrally positioned between the double fronted gables of this handsomely symmetrical home.

A warm welcome

The sage front door, embellished with colourful stained glass, opens to the wide and well-lit entrance hall, where elegant coving skirts the high ceiling and stylish Arighi Bianchi  carpet extends underfoot.

Spacious and airy, the entrance hall sets the scene for the well-proportioned rooms opening up off it.

To the left, step through into the snug; an inviting and embracing room, whose broad bay window offers leafy views out over the front driveway and garden, delivering plenty of daylight through. Cosy and comforting, with pristine carpet underfoot, glazed double doors connect the snug through to the capacious kitchen beyond.

Family time

Also accessible from the entrance hall, make your way through into the sociable family kitchen, tiled underfoot, dressed in soft shades of green that evoke the outdoors, and furnished with an array of cream-coloured cupboards and drawers. Spotlighting shines down from above, whilst undercabinet lighting illuminates the slate-coloured worktops, offering plenty of preparation space.

Savour the view

Dine at the breakfast table, or, through the double doors enjoy mealtimes in the neighbouring dining room. French doors also enable you to drift in and out to the garden, for sunny summer barbecues. Sit beside the windows and watch for the wide variety of birds, frequenting the feeders.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s an amazing family home, there’s a great flow, you can transition so seamlessly into the garden from most rooms.”

Cook up a feast for family and friends using the integrated appliances, including a Range cooker, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. A sociable hub, there is so much space to mingle and converse in this spacious family kitchen.

Practical places

Opening up from the kitchen, take a look at the utility room, where additional units provide yet more storage, and plumbing can be found for a washing machine and dryer. Step out of the door to the rear to air the washing in the fresh air of the garden.

Follow the easy flow through double doors and into the formal dining room, decorated and carpeted in neutral, heritage shades. Chandelier lighting illuminates from the attractive ceiling rose above, whilst French doors offer the option of al fresco dining in the summer months. A spacious room, ideal for occasions and Christmas dinner, there is plenty of room for all.

Opposite the dining room, or, turning right from the front door, make your way along, passing a convenient cloakroom, furnished with wash basin and WC, before reaching the study.

Work from home

A beautifully proportioned room, dressed in soothing golden ochre shades, light streams in through a large window overlooking the front, a perfect vantage point to watch for deliveries.

A large room with a quirky alcove, ideal for bookshelves or storage, there is plenty of space for two to work in comfort. Alternatively, situated next door to the downstairs WC, this could also serve as an accessible ground floor double bedroom for those with accessibility requirements.

Sunlit spaces

Double doors at the end of the entrance hall deliver you to the sitting room, where a coal-effect gas fire issues warmth from within its spectacular brick inglenook, topped in a sturdy beam. Characterful, warm and welcoming, light streams in through a large window overlooking the front and French doors to the rear, which offer direct access out to the garden on sunny, summer days.

At the end of a busy day, ascend the carpeted staircase to reach the first-floor landing, turning left into a spacious and light bedroom, decorated in soft buttermilk shades. Plenty of storage can be found in the two sets of built-in wardrobes, whilst refreshment awaits in the shower room ensuite.

Sleep soundly

A spacious sanctuary, the master bedroom next door offers a real sense of refuge, where shimmering wallpaper adorns the feature wall, and light streams in through a large window overlooking the front.

Step beyond the archway into the walkthrough dressing room, where fitted wardrobes provide an abundance of storage.

OWNER QUOTE: “You could never be short of space – there is storage for every season and sub season!”

An oasis of calm, the en suite lies off the dressing room, a spacious room of relaxation, furnished with separate bath (with showerhead attachment) and shower, wash basin and WC.

Room for all

Boudoir beauty abounds in the third of the spacious doubles, nestled off the landing and currently housing a four-poster bed. Overlooking the rear garden, verdant views beckon, whilst built-in storage awaits within the wardrobes. Refresh and revive in the shower room en suite.

Follow the landing along, to reach two further guest suites. The first, with leafy views out to the trees at the rear, again features fitted storage, and embodies a quiet calm, making it ideal as a guest bedroom or even a home office.

OWNER QUOTE: “The bedrooms are immaculate, many of them have rarely been used; you could move straight in.”

Across the landing soak away the aches in the bountiful family bathroom, tiled to the walls and furnished with a bath containing showerhead attachment, separate shower, wash basin and WC.

A further spacious double bedroom can be found peacefully nestled to this side of the landing, with fitted wardrobes and pleasant views out.

Garden delights

Private and peaceful, high hedging is a haven for birdlife, running along the side of the garden. Fencing ensures safety and security for children and pets, with plenty of lawn for fun and ball games.

Large, lovingly planted and alive with colour throughout the year, successional planting to the beautifully managed borders ensures bursts of interest throughout the seasons.

A fantastic entertaining space, connected to many of the reception rooms, in summer leave the doors open for an unbroken flow between the outdoors and in, ideal for family barbecues and parties. Bathed in sunlight, relax and recline on the patio with a chilled drink of your choice.

Out and about

Wrapped up in rurality, The Limes offers an abundance of walks on the doorstep, with the Whitegate Way and Beeston Castle easily accessible.

Browse the shops, cafes and footpaths of nearby towns Winsford and Hartford. Hartford also offers mainline links from Greenbank Station into London.
