Rowton Christleton Border

A fully renovated, stylishly extended, beautifully presented and truly surprising period residence of immense quality, set in a fantastic plot of 0.15 acre, just four miles from Chester City Centre

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This unique house in Rowton left me truly amazed when I inspected it, as I would never have guessed from my initial drive by what a fantastic house I was about to see! The position is on the main Chester to Whitchurch Road, close to the canal and the adjoining villages of Christleton and Waverton whilst Chester City Centre is just four miles away. When I say the village of Christleton is close by, I am somewhat understating the case, as the next door property to the right is actually classified as being in Christleton!

From the front the period nature of the home is instantly recognisable but to be honest that is about it! You would struggle to believe that beyond that is a fabulous family home of considerable size (1860 square feet), an extended driveway, fabulous fully landscaped and very private plot of 0.15 acre plus a collection of useful outbuildings. It is very much a Dr Who TARDIS moment when you first visit!

The house itself is a prime example of its type having been sensitively restored, skilfully extended and presented and dressed in a way that is both exquisite and homely. The accommodation is an ideal blend of period features and modern refinements with the layout being flexible and adaptable to suit families at different stages of life.

There are three reception rooms in total, each with its own character and style. At the back of the house, directly opening to the fantastic garden is the open plan breakfast kitchen and family area, the perfect setting for day to day life. The specification of this area is very strong and there is also a bespoke utility room which is a really useful and well planned additional area of space. At first floor level are four really impressive bedrooms a delightful en suite and a similarly impressive top end family bathroom.

In addition to all that has been mentioned, this is also a house with excellent storage options throughout. Externally the gardens have been transformed by the present owners so as to create different areas, well planned for capturing sun at different times of day. The outbuildings are lovely with the summerhouse a heavenly retreat, the store having obvious practical purpose and the pump house having significant scope to becoming an external home office. The driveway could also be extended further into the garden if additional parking or turning space is required. It has an EV charging point.

What a special combination. Come and share both my surprise and delight!
