6, Parker Avenue Hartford, Cheshire, CW8 3AH

Retaining a wonderful measure of its original 1930s elegance, the red brick bay façade of this home conjures an instant sense of its heritage while inside a beautifully composed layout has been styled and extended to remain respectful of the original architecture.

When you step in from the charm of an arched canopied doorway you’ll find the warm timber tones of a herringbone floor running seamlessly from the hallway into a duo of large enviable reception rooms. The wide curve of south-facing bay windows bathe an exemplary lounge with natural light while the homely focal point of a wood burner nestles within the fireplace beneath a floating oak mantel. The tasteful pared-back aesthetic is echoed in the adjacent dining room where French doors fill the space with garden vistas and provide a seamless connection with a patio that’s ideally sized for al fresco entertaining.

Effortlessly adding to the sense of space, the considered double aspect design of the kitchen and its adjoining dining area generate a brilliantly relaxed and sociable space for everything from school day breakfasts to lazy weekend brunches. Rich heritage blue Shaker cabinetry wraps-around the extensive kitchen subtly giving delineation to the layout while the etched grooves of solid wood countertops filter into a butler sink. Integrated appliances include a glass door fridge, oven and gas hob and whilst metro tiled splashbacks lend a crisp white contrast, the brushed brass detailing of the tap and cupboard handles add a discerning finishing touch. A glazed door in the dining area makes it easy to enjoy a morning coffee in the fresh air and a fitted utility area sits tucked back from the hallway. A ground floor cloakroom is handy for guests and days in the garden.

The original graceful design of a turning staircase leads the way up to the first floor where four generous bedrooms each have their own charm and character. With further bay windows the main bedroom is both beautiful and sophisticated with its seductively dark heritage green palette. An equally impressive second bedroom sits to the rear looking out over the garden, the split-level layout gives a third bedroom a level of privacy and the fourth bedroom could easily be a study/home office if preferred. Together these rooms share a contemporary shower room as well as a fabulous heritage bathroom where a roll top bath sits atop the vintage patterns of a refined tiled floor.

Outside, the considerable and tastefully landscaped frontage combines with an attached garage to add the convenience of ample private off-road parking. Its paving stretches around into an enclosed rear garden framed by arched top trellis fencing that provides a coveted sense of privacy as well as an attractive backdrop. The broad patio is ideally sized for al fresco drinks and dining and an established lawn reaches down to a tapered point that adds a final dash of character to this period property.
