Chester Road, Helsby, WA6

Comment From Andrew Hayes of Gascoigne Halman

This is a home of very considerable distinction having been owned by only three families in the past 80 years. It also happens to be the house I was born and raised in so I do have a strong personal connection and many fond memories.

Built in 1805 as Middle House Farm, it remains one of the oldest buildings in Helsby. It retains character and period features including exposed beams and brickwork. The current owners have been in occupation for over 30 years and have sensitively and meticulously improved and maintained the house during this period. This has created a charming and delightful family home offering superbly presented and extremely versatile living accommodation, plus a useful adjacent annexe. The overall size of the house and annexe is just over 3400 square feet.

The main house offers three separate living rooms and at the heart of the home is the wonderful open plan breakfast kitchen. This large space is perfect for family life, socialising and entertaining friends. The kitchen is fitted with modern, quality cabinets and polished granite worktops, A gas fired AGA, separate range cooker, dishwasher and wine cooler. The sitting/dining area has a high vaulted ceiling, fitted log burning stove and wide sliding doors opening to the garden. A separate utility room has space for laundry appliances and there is a cloakroom/WC. The first floor has four spacious double bedrooms. The main bedroom has a luxury en-suite shower room and the remaining bedrooms are served by a superb family bathroom with a Victorian style suite.

The adjacent annexe is ideal for extended or dependent family members or an income generating Airbnb. High quality accommodation includes a living room, fitted kitchen and the first floor offers a double bedroom, study and a shower room.

There is plenty of of road parking and a substantial car port at the front of the house plus EV charger. Private gardens extend to the side and rear of the house and include lawns, patio area, outdoor barbecue area and a summerhouse.
