2 FORD LANE - Huge potential and spectacular views

With spectacular views of both Beeston and Peckforton castles, gardens to side and rear and small separate paddock, three bedroom semi detached cottage with extensive potential to enhance and develop

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

It says something about the rarity of houses in this location that the last time I sold here was seventeen years ago! But that is perhaps no surprise as there are only two houses in this postcode, which only goes to prove what a beautiful unspoilt rural area.

This location has it all with magnificent views of open fields and both Beeston and Peckforton Castles, very little passing traffic, and the additional benefit of a separate paddock down the lane which will be included within the sale. It is a slice of unspoilt Cheshire.

The house, grounds and paddock need financial investment and thoughtful planning to maximise their potential, but that of course is also the joy and exciting potential of this project.

The house has a good footprint, with just over a thousand square feet of space and there is, in addition, a garage / storage room. Full modernisation will be needed and once the layout is addressed, this can become a really superb home. The garden to the rear is small but has the most stunning views whilst the garden to the side is larger and very private. The paddock is down the lane and across the road and is a good bonus for those who want additional space or perhaps even a pony or equivalent.

This is a competitively priced house, offered with no ongoing chain and is such a rare buying opportunity.

Location

The nearest village is Tattenhall, which is an absolute delight, combing all the key attributes of a classic Cheshire village, set amidst some of the County¿s best scenery and attractive countryside. The village has continued to embrace its rich history which is evidenced by the number of substantial Victorian buildings both in the village and surrounding farmsteads.

With regards to amenities, there is a comprehensive range of services including a thriving refurbished Spar convenience store, chemist, doctors surgery, dentist surgery, hairdessers, library, coffee shop, pubs, café, restaurants and o on the fringe of the village a popular ice cream farm. Moreover, there is also a well regarded primary school and the beautiful parish Church, and the Barbour Institute which is a focal point for community activities.

Christleton High School, Tarporley High School and Bishop Heber High School in Malpas are all within comfortable travelling distance whilst in Chester there is King¿s, Queen¿s and Abbeygate College (Saighton).

On the recreational front the village also has a thriving sports club and there are several golf courses locally at Carden Park, Aldersey and Waverton. There is a sports club in Tattenhall with Cricket, Tennis, Netball, a gym and Squash Courts all available. There are is also a village croquet and bowls clubs.
Despite its rural tranquillity within close proximity, the property also provides an ideal base for the commuter with the centre of Chester being just nine miles away. The area is also well served by roads with access to the M53/M56 motorways permitting travel to all areas of commerce throughout the north west and the A55 opening up the gateway to North Wales. Liverpool and Manchester International Airport are 31 and 40 miles respectively and travel to London is readily available with a two hour Inter-City direct rail service from Chester Station to London Euston
