Blue Cap Cottages, Chester Road, CW8

A rare piece of Cheshire heritage, beautifully reimagined for modern family life. Some houses are renovated. Some are transformed. Very few retain their soul. Dating from around 1752, Blue Cap Cottages is a wonderfully individual former blacksmith's cottage, combining genuine historic character with the comfort, sophistication, and versatility of a beautifully remodelled family home.
Thoughtfully extended and extensively improved by the current owners, the property has been carefully designed for modern family life while retaining the original features and character that make a home of this age so special.

From the moment you enter, the attention to detail is evident. Original mahogany parquet flooring, exposed beams, feature fireplaces, and traditional detailing create a strong connection to the property's past, complemented by bespoke contemporary finishes throughout.
The accommodation opens from the entrance hallway into a superb lounge featuring original mahogany parquet flooring, feature fireplace, and log-burning stove. A separate snug, again with original parquet flooring, exposed beams and a striking dual-sided fireplace, flows naturally into the impressive family living space. At the heart of the home is a bespoke fitted kitchen with granite work surfaces, breakfast island, integrated appliances, and pantry cupboard. This leads seamlessly into the open-plan dining and family area, where vintage-style tiled flooring with underfloor heating, solid oak flooring and large bi-fold doors create a beautifully light and sociable space opening onto the gardens. The first floor provides three generous bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with bespoke oak vaulted window overlooking the garden, fitted wardrobes and luxurious en-suite. The second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite, complemented by a family bathroom, separate WC, and additional shower room. Outside, the property is equally impressive. The mature wraparound gardens are beautifully established, with mature trees, shrubs, fruit trees, and an abundance of cottage-garden perennials creating colour and interest throughout the seasons. Lawns planted borders and patio seating areas provide wonderful spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquillity. A powered greenhouse with workstation offers an excellent opportunity for gardening enthusiasts, while the detached powered log cabin provides exceptional flexibility as a home office, studio, hobby room, or private retreat. Extensive private parking is accessed through wooden double gates.

The location adds further appeal. Situated on Chester Road within the Parish of Hartford and adjacent to Sandiway, the property enjoys a semi-rural setting with convenient access to Weaverham, Northwich, Winsford and beyond. Numerous public footpaths and bridleways nearby are ideal for walking and dog ownership, while Hartford and Cuddington railway stations provide useful rail connections. With excellent road links, a choice of local schools including Sir John Deane's, generous parking and an exceptional combination of heritage, craftsmanship, gardens and contemporary family living, Blue Cap Cottages is a home of genuine individuality.

A property with a story, a home with character, and the perfect setting in which to create the next chapter.
Viewing is highly recommended.
