Booth Lane, Kinderton, CW10

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

It’s not often you get to write a property description about a residence which is the one and only house in that postcode! But I can do so here and I have to say it’s a real privilege to be instructed to sell this most individual and unique property, the like of which you will not encounter again. Set in grounds of 7.35 acre, this land is a really key part to the overall offering and if you long for a sense of space, tranquillity and rural beauty each day, then this is a location which delivers all of that in abundance.

The house itself comprises a traditional and substantial period farmhouse which has been significantly extended and enhanced by the present owners, particularly in recent years and offers versatile and impressively proportioned accommodation. There is a pleasing balance of period features, more modern refinements and also potential to adapt the accommodation to suit individual requirements.

The ground floor offers five reception rooms in total, with three having views of the south facing rear garden and two of these have double doors leading directly to it. The two other rooms are at the front of the house and the largest of which is notable for its size and could be anything ranging from a games or hobby room right through to a second kitchen or luxurious home office. The open plan kitchen diner (upgraded and refitted in recent times) provides a natural focal point for daily family life with room for table and chairs and walk in pantry providing great storage.

There are four bedrooms in total, three of which are doubles, two of which have en suites and the others are served by a family bathroom. One of the en suite bedrooms is located on the ground floor which opens up so many options for different families with varying requirements.  

Externally there are options galore to enjoy so many different aspects of semi rural living. If you have horses, donkeys, ponies or other livestock, the paddocks are idea. The south facing gardens provide a wonderful setting for parties or gathering with friends and family whilst there is also a vegetable patch, large greenhouse, summerhouse (what a place to read a book or listen to music), a lovely orchard area and paths mowed to allow for daily walks.

The outbuilding is large providing 2594 square feet of space and as presently configured, is used for general storage. But wow what potential exists here for ancillary accommodation, or a host of other uses, subject to the necessary planning permission being granted.

It should also be noted that the site gives a right of access to an adjoining agricultural yard, which comprises circa 15 acres of land and a large set of disused agricultural buildings. This may be available to purchase by separate negotiation.

Despite the rural setting, the house is not isolated, being equidistant from both Sandbach and Middlewich, two historic market towns with extensive amenities.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
