Barton Road, Barton, Malpas, Cheshire

Chapel House is a characterful cottage that offers high-quality, modern fittings alongside traditional features and beautifully appointed accommodation, in a central village setting.

The property is accessed under a wooden storm porch into an entrance hall, with integrated storage behind bifold doors, leading to the kitchen and the main reception room. The splitlevel sitting room has an impressive inglenook fireplace, painted timber beams, integrated touch open fitted cabinetry and engineered oak flooring (featured throughout the property).

Beyond is the light-filled snug with access out to the garden, and a home study with fitted units, and the benefit of a private W.C.

The ground floor also has a split-level kitchen and dining room with skylights, and full length tilt & turn windows, providing an abundance of natural light (also featured in the majority of rear facing rooms). The kitchen itself has Shaker-style fitted units, a central island with both breakfast bar and storage, integrated appliances and an adjacent utility room with external access. The full size fridge and freezer are enclosed within solid walnut cabinetry, along with additional storage shelves, and a matching dresser is located in the dining room area.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with its painted pitch pine truss, fully fitted dressing area, and en suite with walk-in shower and underfloor heating. Bedroom 2 benefits from a full length fitted vanity unit, and the floor is completed by a family bathroom with a separate shower.

At the front of the property, the brick driveway provides a parking space and access to the integrated garage with electric insulated door, and workshop area. The garden at the front has an area of lawn and a pathway with steps leading to the open sided storm porch with a winged dragon roof statue.

At the rear, the walled garden has a good-sized patio area for entertaining, and steps leading to an area of lawn with paved pathways and well-stocked border beds. There are also two brick-built outbuildings – a summer house with electric heating, power and lighting located in the main garden, and a store, which can be accessed through two brick archways at the rear of the garden, along with a greenhouse and substantial potting area. There is also a gazebo offering an attractive shaded seating area.

The property lies in the small but vibrant community of Barton, surrounded by beautiful Cheshire countryside. The village is home to the well established Cock O'Barton hotel and restaurant, and neighbours Carden Park, with its two championship golf courses and luxury spa and garden facilities. Nearby Farndon offers a local primary school, gp services, pharmacy, charming pubs, a cosy cafe, and a well-regarded butcher's shop, while Malpas offers a further selection of local amenities, including a doctor’s surgery, post office and Bishop Heber High School - a bus for which can be caught in Barton itself.

The historic city of Chester is also within easy reach, with its superb shopping and leisure facilities. The area is well connected by a strong network of A-roads, while the M53 and M56 are both accessible just north of Chester.
