Eggbridge Lane, Waverton

Wonderful period house of immense character, located in the centre of Waverton offering tasteful, high quality and superbly planned accommodation with driveway parking to front and mature rear garden.
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
This is a property that I know you will love and is a fantastic addition to our portfolio of quality homes in the locality. It represents a rare buying opportunity for a discerning purchaser who wishes to secure an individual period house within the centre of one of Cheshire's most popular villages.

The quality and convenience of the location really does need emphasising. From the house, a short stroll leads to the village primary school, a row of shops which provide for all daily needs and the Shropshire Union Canal from which the city centre of Chester can be accessed within a 25 minute cycle ride and a walk of around an hour. Given this highly convenient location, the maturity, privacy and establishment of the 0.11 acre plot is both surprising and pleasing in equal measure. It should also be noted than in addition to the recently created driveway to the front, the house also benefits from a right of way over the driveway of an adjoining property, which gives the option to park an extra car at the back.

The present owner has transformed the house in the last six years, with a full refurbishment. These works have included a stylish and impressive kitchen installation, two new bathrooms, comprehensive reworking of the first floor layout and redecoration throughout. There has also been the creation of the front driveway, a new roof and lovely landscaping of the garden to the front. Great care has been taken to further enhance the mature and private garden at the back.

Of particular note is that the modernisation and improvement works have actually enhanced and not diminished the original character of the dwelling. The exposed sandstone and fireplaces remain, whilst all the doors, wood paneling and bespoke fitted wardrobes are beautifully in keeping with the style of the house. I also love the little nooks, crannies and elegant spaces on offer, not least the reading area with feature window to the front elevation, that is located off bedroom two.

For those seeking to put their own stamp on the house, one option, subject to renewal of a previous planning permission, would be to add a further side extension of ground floor accommodation. Personally though I would leave things exactly as they are and enjoy what is a fabulous home, just as it is!

The warmth, appeal and lovely atmosphere of this special home can only be fully recognised when viewed.
