DESCRIPTION

Ivy house is an attractive detached property constructed of brick beneath a tiled roof, and served by oil fire central heating and double glazing. Originally a period cottage, the property was comprehensively renovated and modernised in the last 20 years including a rear extension, and now provides spacious and superbly proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors suitable for a variety of different profiles of buyer, including the family, single person and couple. The layout is fairly traditional together with a spacious open plan in the kitchen and day-to-day living area at the rear of the house which overlooks the garden and the field beyond. To the front of the building are two reception rooms both with exposed beams and brick fireplaces housing woodburners, the lounge also having a wide arch opening into the breakfast room off the kitchen. The kitchen incorporates a range of wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers beneath works surfaces and integrated oven and hob. At first floor level the accommodation is comprehensive with three double bedrooms and a single fourth bedroom served by two bath/shower rooms, one of which is ensuite to 2 of the bedrooms.

LOCATION

Ivy House occupies an extremely peaceful, rural location in the highly sought after area of Carden, close to Tilston Village and some 14 miles to the south of the historic city of Chester. The property enjoys an unspoilt, private position set back off a quiet country lane up a long drive overlooking its own land, and adjoining countryside, and one of the Carden Park golf courses at the rear.

Tilston is a popular village and has a blend of period and modern properties. It provides local services for everyday needs including a shop, pub, playing field and church with nearby Malpas having a more comprehensive range of shops, restaurants, high street banks and doctor’s surgery. Chester, Wrexham and Whitchurch are within easy reach offering supermarkets and selection of sporting and leisure facilities.

On the recreational front there are several golf courses locally including Carden Park and Hill Valley at Whitchurch together with a sports club in Malpas. For the equestrian enthusiast there is racing at Chester and Bangor on Dee and hunting with Sir Watkin Williams Wynn and Cheshire Beagles. Schooling is well catered for in the area with a primary school in the village along with several private and state schools within easy reach including Bishop Heber High School at Malpas, Kings and Queens in Chester, Abbey Gate College in Saighton, Packwood Haugh at Ruyton XI Towns and Ellesmere College.

COMMUNICATIONS

Ivy House enjoys excellent road communications with the A41 approximately 2 miles away which connects with the M53/M56 motorways facilitating daily travel to Liverpool and Manchester. The A41 also links with the M54 serving the Midlands and beyond to the M5/M6. There is a sub 2 hour rail service from Chester to London Euston, and international airports in both Liverpool and Manchester, which are 35 and 45 miles respectively.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a gravel drive which is in separate ownership and also used by the neighbouring land. The gardens surround the house and are laid to lawn, and against the west elevation and accessed immediately from the breakfast area is a flagged patio. There is a pedestrian gate from the property onto the lane, and plenty of space between the house and lane for additional parking if anybody was so inclined to re-landscape that area.
