LOCATION

1 Oak Farm is situated in the rural hamlet of Haughton in a very scenic part of South Cheshire between the historic market town of Nantwich and county town of Chester. It occupies an idyllic setting accessed off a country lane with a lovely open aspect overlooking fields, yet is only a short distance from the popular and well serviced village of Bunbury which caters for everyday needs with an attractive church, primary school, convenience store/post office, butcher?s, doctor?s surgery and several pubs and restaurants. The nearby village of Tarporley offers a more comprehensive range of services as does the market town of Nantwich with is collection of fine period buildings arranged around an attractive square next to the church. Likewise, Chester is equally well serviced with shopping in the famous Rows complemented by several out of town retail parks.

Schooling is well provided for locally with a successful state primary school in Bunbury and secondary school in Tarporley whilst for those seeking private education there is a good selection of schools nearby including The Grange at Hartford, Abbeygate College at Saighton and Kings & Queens in Chester. On the recreational front Bunbury has playing fields, tennis courts & cricket ground and on the edge of Tarporley are the Portal Premium & Championship golf courses. The property is close to the Sandstone Trail with scenic walks through the Beeston & Peckforton foothills. For the equestrian followers there is horse racing at Chester & Bangor on Dee, hunting with the Cheshire Hunt, polo at Little Budworth and for the motoring enthusiast a racing circuit at nearby Oulton Park.

DESCRIPTION

1 Oak Farm, Oak Farmhouse as it was originally known, is a charming semi detached house which is said to date from around 1860, and built as part of the Tollemache Estate. It is built of attractive red brick and charming lozenge shaped windows with dormers beneath a tile roof, and is Listed Grade II for its architectural and historic importance. The property, along with the neighbouring traditional buildings, were redeveloped some years ago, and 1 Oak Farm is the principle dwelling of the scheme and comprises a charming and beautifully proportioned family house, full of character and style typical of its period, but with good quality fitments having been renovated in the last 15 years or so.

The kitchen incorporates a range of wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers beneath work surfaces, an AEG oven with CDA hob, an Everhot range cooker, Bosch dishwasher space for large fridge freezer. Off the kitchen is a useful utility with Trianco oil boiler. At the other end of the house are two formal reception rooms, the dining room having an open fire, the sitting room a woodburner, and both overlooking the gardens and having the light southerly aspect. There is also a store which has been used as a small study, and cloakroom with W.C.

At first floor level there are four bedrooms all of which overlook the gardens and three of which are double, and two bathrooms, the family bathroom having recently been fitted with quality tiling and sanitary ware. The master bedroom is a particularly light and spacious room, with double aspect and having a well fitted en-suite shower room.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached off the lane and via a gravelled drive to a parking area beside the garage, which is attached to the garage for Number 2. To the rear is a secluded lawned area with shed and oil tank. The main gardens are to the south west of the house and are laid to lawn with a variety of flowering trees and shrubs which all provides for a lovely peaceful and private setting with plenty of natural light. There is a flagged patio area and cobbled path which leads to a pedestrian gate onto the lane. The garden is private and screened from the drive by a mature beech hedge.
