** Charming Four-Bedroom Period Home in Sought-After Christleton Village **
Situated along the desirable Pepper Street in the centre of the picturesque village of Christleton, this attractive four-bedroom residence combines timeless character, high ceilings and period features with spacious accommodation and a beautifully private garden setting. The property is entered via an inviting porch showcasing original Minton tiled flooring and decorative brickwork, leading into a welcoming hallway with a convenient downstairs WC. To the front, a charming sitting room features a bay window overlooking the street and a character fireplace, while to the rear there is a large living room and dining area which leads through to a light-filled garden room with Velux rooflight and sliding patio doors, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. A fitted kitchen, rear hallway, and utility room complete the ground floor. Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to a spacious principal bedroom with adjoining dressing room or study, three further well-proportioned bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The property benefits from gas-fired central heating and partial secondary glazing. Externally, the home is set behind a small front garden with gated pathway and driveway providing off-road parking and access to a single garage. The South-facing rear garden is a particular highlight - generous in size, mainly laid to lawn, and bordered by mature shrubs and trees, all enclosed by attractive brick walling for excellent privacy and a sunny aspect. On the market for the first time in 45 years and offered with no onward chain, this delightful home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a character property in one of the area’s most desirable village locations. While the house could benefit from updating, it offers excellent potential to create a truly special property.
