Modern cottage with gated entrance and private driveway in Alpraham

Lovely modern individual detached house with strong eco credentials, built in a cottage style with numerous benefits including south facing garden, gated entrance and superb open plan kitchen dining room

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

Orchard Cottage is a high quality, individual detached house that was constructed in 2018 and has the balance of a structural warranty in place. The location is very convenient, being close to both the Georgian High Street of Tarporley and the market town of Nantwich.

Many modern houses form part of a bigger development and are a generic house type. Neither of these criteria apply to Orchard Cottage, which is a one off home occupying a non-estate location on the principal road from Tarporley to Nantwich on which a lot of high value sales have recently occurred. There are strong eco credentials here with an air source heat pump, underfloor heating to the ground floor and strong insulation levels. It is of the relatively few houses with an EPC B rating.

An internal viewing is strongly recommended. The property has numerous benefits, not least the lovely mellow brick which the house has been constructed with but also the general standard of finish and landscaping that includes lovely brick pillars that lead to the gated driveway entrance and a fully landscaped south facing garden that includes Indian stone patio. well tended lawn and attractive aspects.

Internally the accommodation opens with a good size entrance hall from which access can be gained to the living room, cloakroom and a terrific open plan breakfast kitchen. Viewers will note the high quality Suffolk style oak veneered doors which really help to enhance the character and quality of this lovely dwelling. The living room has a Cheshire brick fireplace together with a high quality woodburning stove. As already mentioned the kitchen is of an excellent size and not just comprehensively equipped but also has space within it for tables, chairs and/or sofa. The present owners opened this space up even further so it really does now form the hub of day to day living. The utility room has a range of wall and floor cupboards together with wooden preparation surface and a door that leads to the outside.

At first floor level there are three bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite facility and the other two which are served by a separate family bathroom. The present owners use one of these rooms as a dressing room.

As already mentioned the garden is a delight having a large Indian stone patio and a well tended area of lawn whilst to the front there is a gated driveway.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office.
