Description

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This large individual detached residence occupies a good position, set back from the road within Bunbury Heath in Cheshire. Set amidst a generous and private plot extending to approximately 0.32 of an acre, the home offers a rare combination of a large plot and sophisticated modern living. Since its acquisition by the current owners in 2019, the property has undergone a comprehensive and radical transformation. Every aspect of the dwelling has been meticulously reimagined with a consistent design language and a particular focus on future proofing the home through significant ecological investments.

The commitment to sustainability is headlined by the installation of a sophisticated air source heat pump system, providing an efficient and environmentally conscious solution for heating and hot water. This dedication to green technology extends to the exterior where cabling has been installed allowing for the future installation of an EV charging point and if required, electric gates.

The interior has been entirely reworked to create a seamless and flexible living environment. At the heart of the home is a stunning new kitchen designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind, complemented upstairs by a beautiful new family bathroom and ensuite shower room. The decorative finish is flawless across every room, featuring high grade window installations that flood the spaces with natural light and provide warmth and noise reduction. The entrance hall makes an immediate impression with a feature staircase and contemporary styling that continues throughout the entire floor plan. There are four bedrooms to the first floor and for those who want good storage, the presence of a loft space in both the house and garage will be welcomed.
DESCRIPTION
Outside, the property sits back from the road with an expansive frontage that provides ample off road parking and a dedicated turning space for multiple vehicles. The rear of the property is equally impressive, featuring a large garden. A large level lawn is bordered by established greenery, while a substantial patio area offers the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining. This significant outdoor space provides a sense of openness and scale that is increasingly difficult to find, making it a true highlight of this most pleasing home.

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.
