Crabmill Lane, Norley

Located in a tranquil position and within a 1.76 acre plot, a substantial, distinctive and unique detached house of incredible quality and character, constructed in 2006 to an outstanding specification.
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
There was in 1991 a number one smash hit that stayed in the top slot for five weeks, called the one and only. Such a description can accurately applied to this amazing individual and unique residence that enjoys a superb location on Crabmill Lane in Norley, which enjoys walking distance proximity to both village amenities and the splendour of Delamere Forest.

The property originally comprised a traditional farmhouse that had fallen into a state of disrepair and was purchased in 2004. Following planning approval, the original home was demolished and replaced with an incredible new build home in 2006 and has only over had one owner and is a much treasured family home. It enjoys very strong eco credentials with a ground source heat pump and solar panels on the garage.

This is a dream home, having been constructed to the highest of specifications with each detail planned and thought through. There is an impressive blend of contemporary build quality together with the extensive use of fantastic quality materials. An example of this is the extensive use of Idigbo, an outstanding high quality hardwood renowned for its durability, strength, and versatility. With its light golden brown colour and fine, straight grain, Idigbo is a beautiful material that is rarely found in residential houses due to its considerable expense and relative rarity.

The layout and size is perfectly attune to modern day family life, with three storey accommodation, all of which has underfloor heating and in total extends to 3461 square feet. In addition there is a detached brick and slate double garage of 362 square feet, with the overall combining to 3823 square feet in total.

The features and highlights of this house are numerous. Key to its appeal is the layout, which is ideal for family life.

The key area is the bespoke breakfast kitchen, complete with gas fire Aga, which is superbly equipped and runs open plan to a fantastic garden room and family space which enjoys spectacular views over the garden and grounds to the rear. This open plan area forms the hub of family living and represents the best in modern day design and finish. Just off the kitchen is a large utility room that is also used as a rear hall, helpful for when coming back from a country walk. There are three further reception rooms with features including the feature fireplace in the living room and bespoke fitted furniture in the study.

The first floor has four double bedrooms, each with a splendid view. The largest of these rooms has an en suite shower room whilst a large bathroom serves the other three.

Crowing the building is a the most versatile space of all, which is not unlike a striking Manhatten style loft. It is presently laid out as a very large bedroom with fully fitted bespoke dressing room and en suite bathroom. There is a further very large area which is presently laid out as a gymnasium but could be an additional bedroom. Alternative uses would be as a living room to compliment the bedroom. Those with children could consider it as a teenage break out space with pool table, darts board, movie screen and sitting area.

Externally there is ample driveway parking and turning space, a detached double garage, a recently repointed and very impressive patio area and then the extensive grounds which incline up to a point which provides outstanding elevated views.
Norley continues to be an in demand area with good amenities and a strong sense of community. This individual house is without comparison and viewing is essential.
