Mill Lane, Great Barrow, Chester

Set in a lovely plot of around 0.35 acre and situated in an elevated position within a quiet no through road, a super two storey detached house offering 1864 square feet of flexible accommodation
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This is a home that you will drive or walk by and you will not be able to do anything other than admire it's location. Mill Lane is a no through road that is quiet and mature, with a lovely array of visually attractive individual houses. The subject property is raised up from the lane and has a particularly lovely plot to the rear, extending to 0.35 acre and comprising both formal garden and a most attractive wooded area.

This unique detached home offers a masterclass in deceptive proportions. While its exterior profile is charming and understated, the interior reveals an impressive 1,864 square feet of versatile living space.

This is a home that must be seen from the inside to truly appreciate the scale and the flexibility it offers for modern family life, multi-generational living, or those who simply require extra space for hobbies and work. The accommodation is designed with flow and functionality in mind, centred around an inviting entrance hall.
The main living room is a bright and airy room featuring a large picture window overlooking the front gardens and a feature fireplace serving as the room's focal point. Located at the front is a formal dining room which has the flexibility to become a fifth bedroom, a playroom, or dedicated home office.

A well-proportioned double bedroom is located off the hall, conveniently served by an adjoining family bathroom, ideal for those requiring single-level living.

Completing the ground floor reception rooms is a stunning, large open-plan living space comprising a seating, dining area and study. This room features attractive engineered oak flooring and double doors that open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of Shaker-style cabinetry and has space for a table and chairs. A separate, well-equipped utility room keeps the laundry and housework tucked out of sight.

The sense of space continues as you ascend to the first-floor landing: The principal bedroom has extensive fitted wardrobes whilst two further double bedrooms, provide ample space for family or guests. The first floor rooms are served by a modern, well-appointed shower room.

The exterior is a particular highlight, with the total plot extending to approximately 0.35 of an acre. The garden has beautifully maintained lawns and paved patio areas along with well stocked borders. The wooded area is a real bonus, being well planned with a lovely array of trees and this also affords the formal garden great seclusion and privacy.
