Greenhill Avenue, Hawarden, CH5

There are plenty of modern family homes on the market. Finding one with over 1,800 sq ft, five bedrooms, three floors of accommodation, an extended sun room and uninterrupted farmland behind it is considerably harder. Add in new bathrooms, recent cosmetic refurbishment and no onward chain, and Greenhill Avenue starts to look like a very complete package.

For me, the plot is what immediately separates this house from others on the development. There’s open green space directly opposite rather than another row of houses, while the side looks straight across neighbouring farmland. It gives you something modern developments often struggle to provide: space around you and a genuinely open outlook.

Inside, there’s approximately 1,807 sq ft arranged over three floors, and the current owners have spent their money in the right places. The bathrooms have recently been replaced, the house has been cosmetically refreshed throughout and the overall finish is clean, contemporary and ready to go. This isn’t a house where you move in with a list of jobs for the next twelve months.

Downstairs, the original layout has also been improved with the addition of a sun room across the rear. With plenty of glass/bi folds and those uninterrupted countryside views beyond the garden, it’s probably the room that best demonstrates why this particular plot works so well. Alongside it you have a separate living room, kitchen and dining space, utility, WC and integral garage, so despite the contemporary feel, it remains a very practical family house.

The five bedrooms are spread across the upper two floors, which creates some useful separation. Four bedrooms and the family bathroom occupy the first floor, while the entire second floor effectively becomes the principal suite, with a 17’2” bedroom, separate dressing room and en-suite. It’s a far better arrangement than simply squeezing a fifth bedroom into the conventional footprint of a modern house.

Outside, there is driveway parking and the garage to the front, while the rear garden backs directly towards open farmland. Again, that positioning matters. You get all the convenience and efficiency of a modern home, without feeling quite so hemmed in by the development around you.

33 Greenhill Avenue isn’t trying to be a character cottage or a renovation project. Its appeal is almost the opposite. It’s a high-specification, low-maintenance family home where the work has already been done, the square footage is substantial and the plot is difficult to improve upon.

With no onward chain, it’s ready for somebody to move in and start enjoying it.
