Description

Barton House occupies a central village location in South Cheshire. It was built in 2014 of an attractive brick with sandstone sills and headers beneath a slate roof, and has an impressive front façade with twin gables surmounted by finials to reflect certain other buildings from the nearby Carden Estate. The house has been finished to a high specification, and provides spacious and beautifully appointed accommodation with high ceilings, deep skirtings and quality kitchen and bathroom fitments, as well as under floor heating and double glazing giving rise to a B EPC rating.

The design is ideally suited to family living, with a spacious hall and turned staircase, two formal reception rooms each with gas fires and attractive mantel pieces, and at the rear of the house and across the full width of the building is a fantastic kitchen with open plan seating and dining areas. The room is L-shaped and provides a wonderful everyday living space with two pairs of French doors opening to terraces and the south facing rear garden.

The kitchen incorporates a range of bespoke painted wall and floor units, with cupboards and drawers beneath quartz surfaces, integrated Siemens appliances to include freezer, fridge, two ovens, microwave, coffee machine and dishwasher, and a central island in natural finish also beneath quartz surface with Induction hob and further storage. There is a useful utility room off, with back door and separate store room.

The first floor is as spacious, with four double bedrooms all accessed off a wide galleried landing. The master suite is particularly spacious, with dressing room and ensuite shower room. The guest bedroom also has an ensuite, and the two remaining bedrooms are served by a full bathroom, which has a separate shower.

Location

On the recreational front there are several golf courses locally including Carden Park, which also has a renowned Spa, and Hill Valley at Whitchurch together with a sports club in Malpas. Schooling is well catered for in the area with a primary school in Clutton and Tilston, Bishop Heber High School at Malpas, and several private schools within easy reach including, Kings School and Queens School in Chester, Abbey Gate College in Saighton, Packwood Haugh at Ruyton XI Towns, Shrewsbury and Ellesmere College.
