Description

We are delighted to represent the sale of one of the finest properties in Betley. Built in 1885, The Estate House is a prestigious historical property that retains many of its Victorian sensibilities, with intricate cornicing, original fireplaces and a pretty red brick facade. Spanning some 3,000 sq ft internally, four bedrooms with the rear bedrooms having incredible views to Betley Mere, set in traditional estate parkland and beyond. Voluminous living spaces, the stunning interiors have been expertly designed and curated under current ownership. Clive Christian fitted furniture and Lefroy Brooks sanitary ware fitted throughout the home to the highest possible standard. A well-established landscaped garden unfolds at the rear, with a large separate studio taking advantage of the decked patio and workshop beyond. To the front, there's parking for 6 cars on a gated and gravelled driveway with a beautifully designed brick built 2 car garage that has been harmoniously designed to match the Victorian aesthetic of the house.

Location

Betley is a bustling village with a thriving community spirit and active social events calendar. The village provides a range of local amenities including a primary school, nursery, church, doctors surgery, village shop, Post Office, and a number of public houses and restaurants.
