Ashton Lane, Ashton Hayes, CH3

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

I have now been selling houses for twenty three years and yet every year, there is always a unique property, like no other, which is a particular joy to market and seek a new owner for. This is a perfect example of such a property and huge honour to offer for sale.

This home has been loved and treasured by the present owners for 29 years and in this period has been thoughtfully extended, enhanced, and meticulously renovated.

The house seamlessly marries period character and proportions with dynamic, modern family living—all while enjoying uninterrupted views of open countryside to the front, side, and rear.

Stepping through the front door reveals a substantial and visually impressive entrance hall, typical of the classic 1930s architectural style. It offers a warm, inviting welcome and establishes the character found throughout the property. You step onto Herringbone wood parquet flooring.

Situated off the hall to the right, is an inviting reception, that room features a classic bay window framing views over the front garden and countryside beyond. A stunning feature brick fireplace with an integrated wood burning stove creates a cozy focal point for winter evenings. The bay windows have coloured leaded lights, which cast colourful light into the room in the mornings. The lounge has herringbone wood parquet flooring.

On the opposite side of the hallway, a generously proportioned reception room offers immense versatility. Dual aspect windows provide much natural light, making it ideal as a formal sitting room, music room, hobby space or large children’s playroom.

A third, highly flexible reception room features original, characterful parquet flooring and another attractive brick fireplace. French doors open directly onto the rear garden creating a convenient connection to the outdoors.

The undisputed centrepiece of this residence is the fabulous open plan breakfast kitchen and garden room. Designed as the ultimate hub for day to day family life and year round entertaining, this light-filled space features vaulted ceilings enhancing the feeling of space, a comprehensive kitchen outfitted with a traditional Aga, supplemental conventional hob, and abundant custom storage, alongside a stylish and impressive garden room with double doors leading straight out to the rear grounds.

The first floor continues to impress, offering flexible sleeping quarters alongside impressive views. The principal bedroom is a generous master suite fitted with a walk in wardrobe. Bedroom two is a spacious double bedroom with open rural views, while bedroom three is a double bedroom with matching bay window with coloured leaded lights. Bedroom four is a single bedroom, currently configured as a home office and also suitable as a nursery.

Set within a 0.23-acre plot, the exterior spaces are a standout feature of this property. Approached via a generous gravel driveway, the front provides extensive off road parking and turning space for multiple vehicles, bordered to the west by open fields.

The rear garden is mature, south facing, highly private, and safe for both children and pets. A large flagstone terrace adjoins the rear of the home, ideal for summer dining. Positioned beside the terrace, a high quality summer house and hobby garden room offers a versatile space for a studio, home office, or workshop (20ft x 10ft). Beyond the terrace lies a super lawn framed by beautifully stocked beds, mature trees, and vibrant flower border, creating an idyllic environment to be enjoyed at every stage of life.

I grew up in a 1930’s house and am sure this will be a terrific option for so many different buyers.
