Old Chester Road, Higher Walton

A truly enchanting Grade II listed cottage, steeped in history and perfectly positioned within one of Cheshire’s most desirable village settings.

Built in 1910 for Sir Gilbert Greenall and forming part of an attractive terrace of just four distinctive cottages, this exceptional home effortlessly combines period charm with stylish contemporary living. Set behind deep lawned front gardens and characterised by attractive sandstone detailing, white-painted pebbledash elevations and a traditional Westmorland green slate roof, the property immediately captures the imagination and provides an impressive first impression.

Beautifully maintained and sympathetically improved by the current owners, the accommodation extends to approximately 1,215 square feet and retains a wealth of character features throughout.

A welcoming entrance porch and hallway lead into the delightful lounge, where original parquet flooring, a striking bay window and a multi fuel burning stove create a warm and inviting living space.
To the rear of the property lies the stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room, undoubtedly the heart of the home. Thoughtfully refitted with shaker-style cabinetry, a central island and generous dining space, this superb room is perfectly suited to both everyday family life and entertaining. A cottage style external door opens directly onto the rear courtyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
Further ground floor accommodation includes a useful utility room, cloakroom/WC and excellent storage facilities.

To the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to three double bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in size and benefits from fitted storage, whilst the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or home working.

Outside
Externally, the property is every bit as impressive. Immediately to the rear is a beautifully enclosed courtyard garden providing a private and sheltered setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. Brick built outbuilding with two separate storage rooms, both with power and light.
Beyond this lies a delightful separate garden with mature planting, lawned areas and a charming summerhouse, creating a peaceful retreat that feels a world away from everyday life.

Combining historic character, stylish presentation and exceptional outdoor space in one of Warrington’s most sought-after village locations, this truly special home offers a lifestyle opportunity rarely available to the open market.

Early viewing is strongly recommended.
