Lache Lane, Chester, Cheshire, CH4

A superb family house with separate guest flat.

Description

69 Lache Lane was constructed in the 70s and the current owners have undertaken two major projects during their tenure, adding a two storey extension in 2013 which provides a self-contained flat on the first floor and a kitchen and utility room on the ground floor. In 2020 the owners added a further two storey extension to the rear adding an additional guest bedroom on the first floor and snug/family area on the ground floor. The original house underwent a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment in 2011 when the house was purchased and the schemes of work have been executed with real skill and attention to detail. The layout has been well thought out with lots of open-plan sociable entertaining spaces but also comfortable seating and study areas that can be separated off.

The entire house is very bright with a sunny orientation. The open-plan kitchen/garden room/snug is at the heart of the house and opens out via a series of French doors to the garden which extends the entertaining space even further during the summer months.

The first floor self-contained flat can be accessed from the main house or by a separate stairway to the rear of the garage. The flat has a sitting room with a balcony overlooking the garden, a kitchen, en suite shower room and a store area. The apartment is perfect for a dependent relative or could be used as a holiday let subject to any relevant permissions.

The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. The guest bedroom also has an en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath and free standing shower.

Outside is a well stocked garden which is primarily laid to lawn with an entertaining patio. There is a large garden shed, wood store and recycling area. At the front of the house is a paved driveway with parking for a number of cars and access into the double garage with electric door.
