Incredible 8200 square feet house on edge of Delamere Forest

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a unique smallholding that truly represents the very best in modern day design and finish, both internally and externally. With breathtaking views, superb levels of privacy and an incredible attention to detail in every regard, this is a best in class buying opportunity without parallel. This is backed up by the balance of a structural warranty on the main house.

The main residence, which extends to 8200 square feet, was constructed in 2020 with modern day family living in mind and for a house this size has outstanding eco credentials.  It is blessed with much natural light and has been built to maximise the aspects and spectacular views of the gardens, grounds and views.  The layout delivers both large contemporary open plan living spaces and separate break out rooms providing options for large family gatherings and day to day life involving different hobbies and interests. The quality of finish is uncompromisingly high and this is a home that delivers luxury and quality at every turn. More details of the layout and specification can be found in the floorplans and information below.

Externally, the approach is inspirational, with an electrically gated driveway entrance and a superb 200 metre approach to the house. The outbuildings incorporate a top grade three bay garage and superb bespoke stable block. There is also a menage, lake, two ponds, outdoor heated swimming pool and woodland. The main gardens and grounds to the rear face south and command the view.

This is a unique lifestyle opportunity, worthy of the highest levels of admiration and is a buying opportunity like no other.

Location

Kelsall is an extremely popular semi-rural Cheshire village that combines a central location, excellent day-to-day amenities and a superb position amidst some of Cheshire's most picturesque countryside.

Within the village there is a Co-operative convenience store, renowned village butcher, pharmacist, and popular coffee shop. More over there is an active community hall, doctors’ surgery, vets practice, well attended parish church and methodist chapel.

There are a number of pubs in the village, but worthy of particular attention is that in recent times Brunning & Price have completed their full refurbishment of the pub in the centre of the village, The Morris Dancer. This outstanding public house/restaurant has already been met with wide acclaim and is worthy of inspection along with The Boot Inn, famous to all locals for the amazing homemade pies!

Recreationally Kelsall features tennis courts, playing fields with specialist children's play area and a wonderful collection of walking routes in the surrounding countryside, especially the well-known sandstone trail. The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside and places of significant interest that include ancient castles, boating facilities on nearby canals and the outstanding Delamere Forest.

For those with educational needs, Kelsall has an outstanding Ofsted rated primary school on Flat Lane, which in turn feeds into the nearby good Ofsted rated Tarporley High School. There are other well regarded schools in the villages surrounding including Kings & Queens of Chester, Abbey Gate and The Grange.

Anyone needing to commute will find great transport links to the M56, M6 and M53. The A49, A51 and A55 all link to key areas of commerce and interest, including Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, Wrexham, and nearby Chester. Rail services from nearby village stations including Mouldsworth and Hartford allow further access to the North West. Two international airports can be located within 45 minutes drive - Liverpool John Lennon International Airport and Manchester International Airport.
