Description

This bespoke detached property has been meticulously designed blending traditional and contemporary styling effortlessly with the use of high specification fixtures and fittings. Particular mention must be made of the Living Dining Kitchen which is a light and spacious room running from the front to back of the property with bi-fold doors to the garden, the large, triple aspect reception room with log burner and bi fold doors to the rear as well as the beautifully appointed main bedroom with large en-suite. Externally there is a detached annex providing great potential for a multitude of uses including home office, hobbies room, dependent relatives and older children and also has the benefit of solar panels. There has also very recently been planning permission passed for a detached outbuilding for use as a home gym, home office and garden store. Extending to over 2,800 sq. ft. with underfloor heating to the ground floor and bathrooms, a fully integrated smart network providing high speed data points, ultra 4K signal for TV's, uninterrupted WiFi throughout the property and a 10 year NHBC warranty (expires 2027).
Located in an ever popular position on the edge of the village, close to all local amenities and The Bells of Peover public House with far reaching views over adjoining countryside whilst being well positioned for all major network links to the Northwest and beyond.
The property is approached through timber and aluminium electric gates over a golden gravel driveway, providing more than ample parking and turning space, leading to the front entrance and detached annex. The plot extends to 0.58 of an acre and is mainly laid to lawn with a range of mature trees and hedging giving a high degree of privacy. Large decked patio area sweeps around the rear of the property, accessed through the bi fold doors in the Living Dining Kitchen and Living Room, providing ideal opportunity for alfresco dining and enjoying the lovely aspect. Gravel pathway leads down to the rear of the gardens where a children's play area can be found with wood chip surfaces and picket fencing.
