Rowton Lane, Rowton, Chester, CH3

An exceptional family house in a superb semi-rural setting.

Description

The Spinney is an exceptional family home which was remodelled in 2014 to a very high standard. The project was executed with real attention to detail and the property is designed for modern family life. The current owners installed solar panels and energy storage batteries in 2022 and the property is very energy efficient. The house sits in the most wonderful corner position with lovely rural views to the front and rear.

The property is approached across a gravel driveway where there is access to the integral garage and parking for several vehicles. The owners have installed an EV charger outside the garage.

A stylish entrance door surrounded by a full height contemporary glass porch leads through to the reception hall which is a really attractive area to greet guests and with the abundance of glass is beautifully light.

The living room has a contemporary feature inset Gazco fire and dual aspect windows allowing plenty of natural light. The owners have added a series of display shelves and electronic blinds designed to maximise light but also perfect in the winter when a more cosy feel is required.

Undoubtedly the heart of the house is the outstanding kitchen/dining/family room. This is a really superb space and very much designed to take maximum advantage of the fabulous garden views beyond. With a series of bifold doors opening out to the patio this is a fantastic extension of the entertaining space during the summer months and in winter it is so nice to still feel that connection with the garden. When the current owners purchased the house they replaced the tiled floor in the kitchen and reception hall with a mellow parquet floor, this is a really stylish addition to the house adding greater depth and warmth to the décor. The owners also reconfigured the open-plan living area to create a really warm and welcoming family space with a stylish yet practical high quality kitchen and a media wall in the seating area.

The kitchen is well equipped with a range of base and wall units providing storage drawers, pantry cupboards and a large breakfast island with additional storage. There are a number of integrated NEFF appliances throughout including 3 ovens, a 5 zone flex induction hob, a 'rise and fall' island extractor fan and a fridge. There is also a ZIP Hydro instant-boiling, chilled and sparkling water tap, a waste disposal unit, Franke twin sinks and a separate rinsing tap.

The dining space and family area are seamlessly connected by a central wood burner, while an impressive glazed lantern above allows natural light to pour in. This really is a fantastic and versatile space, adaptable for use all year round.

A spacious and fitted study is located off the dining area, with a large window overlooking the rear garden. Adjacent to this, also accessed from the kitchen, is the utility with additional storage, twin sinks and external door. Doors lead to walk-in larder and the integral garage. The owners resurfaced the garage floor when they purchased with a Polyaspartic System.
The ground floor has the benefit of a 7 zoned underfloor heating system.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The master bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and drawers, and adjoins an impressive en suite bathroom with a wet room shower. There are three further bedrooms (bedroom two has an en suite shower room) all have fitted wardrobes and each bedroom is decorated in a stylish, contemporary palette.

The gardens at The Spinney are truly delightful. Having been beautifully landscaped and with a number of mature trees, this really is the perfect, private spot in which to relax or entertain, or for younger members of the family to play. The garden has colour and contrast year round and whilst extensive the garden has been created to be easy to maintain.

If required and subject to the relevant planning permission, there is potentially an opportunity to extend further at the side of the property.
