Shays Lane

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
Offered to the market for the first time in its history, we are proud to present this individual property of significant stature and notable privacy.
The land that the house is located on was acquired by the current family owners approximately 50 years ago. Thereafter, planning permission was revised and this unique home was meticulously constructed and completed in the early 2000s. Having never been offered for sale since its inception, this represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a substantial family home set within a stunning plot of just under sixteen acres on an established rural lane, just five miles from the Georgian High Street of Tarporley.
Extending to an impressive 3,841 square feet, the house is a masterclass in flexible living. Built by a renowned local craftsman, the property boasts excellent structural integrity and provides the opportunity to add contemporary quality to suit your own personal taste.
The ground floor opens with an impressive reception hall that sets the tone for the scale of the home. There are five distinct reception rooms offering different possibilities, making them perfect for home offices, libraries, music rooms, dining areas, playrooms, or sitting areas. The heart of the home is a 30-foot breakfast kitchen, dining and family room that acts as a key hub, featuring southerly expansive views over the private gardens and acreage. A comprehensive utility room provides great practicality and there is also a shower room, WC, cloaks room, boiler room, and dedicated storage.
The first floor accommodation begins with a superb landing featuring a signature balcony overlooking the front elevation. The principal bedroom suite is a true sanctuary, offering far-reaching rear views and access to an easterly-facing balcony which is perfect for morning coffee. There are two further bedrooms that also benefit from private en-suites, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom. The second bedroom has a south facing balcony.
The property is complemented by substantial, brick built outbuildings that mirror the quality of build of the main residence. These include a detached stable block extending to 757 square feet, which is ideal for the equestrian enthusiast given the proximity to the nearby Polo Club. There is also a massive quintuple garage building extending to a little over 1,000 square feet, perfect for the serious car collector or for potential conversion into a secondary annex, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The true jewel of this estate is its 15.97 acre plot. Combining formal gardens, open grazing land, and ancient woodland, the grounds offer unchallenged privacy. It is a magical environment for children to explore and a peaceful retreat for those seeking a slower pace of life.
The property is held on a freehold tenure and is available to the market for the first time in its history. This is an instruction of significant pedigree and we anticipate high levels of market interest. Viewing is by appointment only.
