Alpraham, Tarporley

Detached four bedroom period cottage in Alpraham village, extended to 1967 sq. feet and enjoying characterful features, 0.26 acre plot with mature gardens, large driveway, detached single garage and outbuilding

Comment from Oliver Weston of Gascoigne Halman

Kiln House boasts a terrific combination of features that create a really strong overall proposition and a property we are delighted to bring to market.

Being located in Alpraham village you will get the benefit of easy access to the Georgian village of Tarporley or market town of Nantwich. Alpraham itself has changed substantially over the last ten years and now has one of the most interesting housing mixes in the locality, with characterful period buildings and high quality contemporary new builds. With a state of the art village hall just constructed and the thriving Tollemarche Arms pub restaurant having established a strong reputation, the village is growing in presence and identity.

Turning to the Kiln House itself, along with the attractive cottage appearance there are a multitude of terrific period characteristics to be found inside which include the antique cast iron spiral staircase, exposed beams, cosy log burner fireplaces and traditional wooden doors.

In total the home comes to an impressive 1,967 square feet with a degree of adaptability to suit different lifestyles and needs, utilised by current owners where one of the reception rooms is set up as an additional bedroom.

Day to day the current owners use the rear entrance where the bi-fold doors adjoin the patio and large open plan kitchen, dining and living area that was created through a substantial extension. This was a brilliant addition as it has provided a true `hub of the home' and enjoys views over the garden through the large five metre bi-folds. This space connects through to the rest of the home with the reception hall that houses the previously mentioned spiral staircase and provides access to the fourth bedroom on the first floor.

The rest of the ground floor consists of two reception rooms, and a shower room. The second and main staircase takes you to the first floor landing where the three bedrooms and additional family bathroom can be found.

With the total plot coming to just over a quarter of an acre there is plenty on offer separate to the cottage itself. The gated driveway provides ample parking and leads up to the detached single garage and a sizable outbuilding. The mature and generous gardens are a lovely place to relax and enjoys plenty of sunshine through the day.
