Description
Located on the edge of a desirable modern development within walking distance of Tarporley High Street, an attractively refurbished detached house with new kitchen and superb landscaped garden
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
This hugely appealing and visually attractive detached house is well positioned on the edge of one of the most popular modern developments within walking distance of the village centre. Constructed by Stuart Milne Homes in 2011, it has been invested in by the present owners with particularly noticeable changes to the external landscaping and internally to the kitchen breakfast area. The most recent changes include new internal doors throughout, new flooring to the hall, stairs and landing and an air conditioning / heating unit to the family room.
The house is well balanced, with three reception rooms at ground floor complementing the elegant entrance hall and the comprehensively refitted breakfast kitchen at the back of the house overlooking the garden. It should be noted that the kitchen has a framed opening, helping it run open plan to the family room, with the overall space being ideal for families at different stages of life.
At first floor level, there are four double bedrooms, two en suites and a family bathroom. All four of these four bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. It should also be noted that the house is in excellent decorative order.
**
Externally, the environment is particularly impressive. The front garden area is very mature and provides a lovely private screen to the lane. The outstanding rear garden has been radically transformed into a beautiful landscaped area, ideal for those who do not wish to have too much maintenance, whilst also enjoying very strong aesthetics and significant visual appeal.
For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
Accommodation and dimensions
As detailed on the floorplan.
Location
Tarporley is one of Cheshire's most highly regarded villages that boasts a diverse selection of amenities including a community centre, tennis courts, convenience stores, fashion boutiques, cafes, restaurants, public houses, doctors' surgery, dentists, three Churches and a very extensive bus route. There is also a golf course and private gymnasium / swimming pool on the edge of the village.
In terms of education, there is a very popular Primary School in the centre of the village that has in recent times been extended and heavily invested into. This in turn feeds into Tarporley High School, which at its last OFSTED report was awarded `Outstanding¿ in all areas. For those seeking Schools in the independent sector, The Grange in Hartford is a little under 20 minutes away and there is also Kings, Queens, and Abbeygate in Chester.
The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside and places of significant interest that include ancient castles, boating facilities on nearby canals and the outstanding Sandstone Ridges of Cheshire. Wonderful walks are provided via the Whitegate Way and Sandstone Trail. Without leaving the village, there is walking distance access to beautiful countryside.
Whilst the area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, the house also offers an excellent base for the business traveller. In terms of road links, there are extensive connections to the M56, M6 and M53. The A49, A51 and A55 all link to key areas of commerce and interest.
With regards to railway services, there are stations at nearby Hartford, Cuddington, Delamere, Frodsham, and Chester. All operate on either the Chester to Manchester or Liverpool to London lines. Fast connections can be enjoyed at Crewe railway station, with the service to London Euston taking just over 90 minutes.
Two international airports are located within 45 minutes drive to Liverpool John Lennon International Airport and Manchester International Airport.
Directions
Leave Tarporley in the direction of Chester and having passed Forest Road on the right, take the next right turn onto Utkinton Road. Take the second right onto Heatherways, and you will soon be at a T junction. Take a right and the road becomes Oswalds Way. Proceed into the development, and follow round to the top left hand corner. The property will be on the right hand side at the start of the road.
