As the names of the road suggests, the land was where originally a lot of orchard trees were located. The subject property sits on a fabulous corner plot of 0.15 acre and also has the added bonus of renting an area of woodland to the rear, beyond the garden. All of the houses in the close are individually designed and built and worthy of particular note is the privacy of the south westerly facing garden that the subject property enjoys. The house itself has been radically transformed by the current clients in their twelve years of ownership and has also had the benefit of a ground floor extension. Having been subject to consistent and unstinting investment, much of it in more recent times, this is a really outstanding family home of excellent specification and design. It is also surprisingly large, extending to three floors, and having six double bedrooms, an en suite shower room and contemporary family bathroom. At ground floor level, the open plan kitchen dining and family room is the highlight, with garden room just off this space having been added by the present owners soon after they moved in in 2014. More recently, the newly installed and very well designed kitchen was completed in October 2025, and at the same point, the house got the benefit of a newly installed boiler, providing long term peace of mind. **** For those short of time (that¿s most of us!) then the extensive investment into this home will be deeply reassuring in addition to visually very attractive. With regards to bathrooms, the principal bathroom was installed in April 2023 whilst there was a new ensuite to the main bedroom completed a year ago. Externally there is a bonded resin driveway providing ample parking and a matching material patio to the rear both installed within the last three years. The house also benefits from excellent quality pvcu double glazing and doors, which were completed in 2021. Just before this, new facias, soffits & drainpipes 2019 were applied. The house has recently had new carpets throughout and the ground floor decorated throughout in in the year. So a special instruction as we move into Spring time, do come and take a look. 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.
