Set in grounds of 1.52 acres, enjoying magnificent far reaching views and having been subject to extensive investment, a fantastic refurbished family house with first class equestrian facilities.
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

It is very rare to find a house with over an acre and half and a collection of outbuildings as extensive as this priced at under £800,000. Since their purchase in 2022, the current owners have poured in significant capital expenditure and extensive time, improving every aspect of the property, both inside and out.

Externally, this is a dream for those who have a horse, donkey, pony or other animals such as alpacas and does not want the cost of off site livery. Everything you could want is here. There are two high quality stable blocks, one of which was installed in the last three years. Moreover, the paddocks have been split into different enclosures with appropriate and durable fencing. The paddocks are of a great size and gradient, drain well and are directly accessible without leaving the grounds. A specialist menage has been created, with full planning permission obtained. The current owner has also tuned one of the outbuildings into a tack room and all this combined with a driveway that has plenty of room for horseboxes make this just the perfect combination.

Another unique aspect of the property is the outstanding views towards the Bulkeley, Peckforton and Beeston Hills and Castles. If you enjoy dramatic sunsets and wonderful views that are impressive in all four seasons, this is the house for you.

Internally the current owners have again invested heavily and the upgrades improve complete redecoration throughout, installation of wood burning stove, upgraded kitchen and main bathroom as well as the former ground floor shower room becoming a very useful utility and cloakroom. With four bedrooms, an en suite and bathroom, a well planned kitchen and three other separate reception rooms, the flexibility is impressive. It should also be noted that there are new windows installed throughout in addition to a lovely open fronted oak porch on the front elevation.

The grounds and aspects have a magical quality to them and upon inspection I have no doubt viewers will be impressed.

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