Larch House, Forest Edge, Delamere

Newly built architect designed four bedroom, three bathroom detached house with outstanding open plan kitchen, positioned at the front of an exclusive development with direct access to Delamere Forest

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

It's crucial in estate agency to get a buzz about what you do and for high quality property to be a source of inspiration. The minute I met my developer clients at this unique and special site, I got a great feeling. Accordingly, it with a mixture of pride and excitement that myself and Gascoigne Halman introduce to the market the first three plots at this unique development, nestled amongst some of Cheshire¿s best countryside in the heart of Delamere Forest.

Let me try and highlight five key points in relation to this development.

The first is the fantastic layout and designs. Cobnut Homes specifically chose to work with Sarah Aspinall of Beeston Aspinall Architects. Sarah has deservedly built up a best in class reputation for the design of homes that blend architectural and aesthetic excellence with contemporary layouts that are exactly in line with the requirements and needs of families at various different stages of life. The end results are stunning and become immediately obvious.

The second is the dedication of the developers, who have invested not just considerable capital into this project, but also their hearts and souls into every single aspect of the build process. Cobnut Homes are a family business who both live in and care greatly about the locality. This has been a long term project and they have overseen the transformation of the site from a previous empty school into a stunning example of modern architectural and landscaping excellence.

The third is the impressive environmental credentials. There is a particular emphasis on eco and green metrics at Forest Edge, which is a welcome response to the current elevation in living expenses. A key example of this is the air source heat pump, which offers significant advantage and is a long term, future proof solution. In addition, the houses enjoy best in class windows and impressive levels of insulation.

The fourth is the level of finish. Whether it be the beautiful tiles, the luxurious carpets, the fabulous feature windows in the garden rooms, superb bathrooms, or extra large patios to each plot, those with an eye for detail and quality will be sure to impressed. I also love the fact that the open plan kitchen / garden rooms form the focal point of living in each home.

Fifth and by no means last is the location. With direct access on foot into Delamere Forest, with no need for a car, this location creates a unique lifestyle opportunity which is to be enjoyed and treasured. Central yet rural, beautiful yet accessible, it is provides a perfect position for those who enjoy countryside, nature and rural walks.
