Cheshire is a diverse and beautiful County but you could travel many a mile and not find views as amazing as this. The property itself is a highly individual and striking detached single storey dwelling set in a lovely plot of around half an acre. The accommodation is notable for its versatility and light, with large picture windows either overlooking the ever changing views to the front or the private, mature and landscaped rear garden. In total there is just under 2200 square feet of living space and in addition a double garage that provides an additional 384 square feet of space. The theme running through the accommodation is less means more, the smaller number of larger rooms giving a spacious and luxurious feel predominating, as opposed to cramming in as many small rooms as possible. The end result is a fantastic home, ideal for family gatherings, entertaining and day to day family life. The centerpiece of 24ft living room is the feature fireplace, complemented by the wrap-around picture windows with fantastic views across Cheshire to the Peak District. Full width sliding glass doors open into the light and airy conservatory/dining room, ideal for entertaining and summer dining. The adjacent dining room also overlooks the rear garden, whilst the elegant entrance hall creates a notable first impression. The open plan kitchen-diner is light and spacious with extensive views. All three substantial double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. There are two bathrooms, one of which is a family bathroom, the other (adjacent to the Master bedroom) can be accessed flexibly and used either en-suite, or as a second family bathroom. Such is the size of the footprint, a forth bedroom could easily be created without the need for any extension. **** This home is far more than just bricks and mortar, it epitomizes a lifestyle based around themes of relaxation, peace and the enjoyment of the vista, which offers incredible sunsets, autumn mornings with just the tops of the trees emerging from the misty fields and many other wonderful variations through the changing seasons. If the weather is pleasant, why not relax on either the large balcony over the garage or the Indian stone patio and take in the view with a glass of wine. Capriol is approached via a shared driveway giving access to two properties - Eaton Manor and Capriol itself. Having passed the shared driveway, Capriol's own private driveway and parking area is of a generous size and sweeps round, leading directly to the double garage. The front garden is tiered and comprises beautifully tended areas of lawn and abundantly stocked borders and Indian stone Patio. The rear garden is split into different areas with expanses of lawn interspersed with a beautifully stocked rockery and well planted beds. In total the plot extends to approximately half an acre, a small area of which has designated agricultural classification. This is a property that offers a move straight in option, with well maintained and attractive accommodation. But with views and a location as good as this, it could even be a site where (subject to planning) a second storey could be added or a grand design style house could be developed. Is this one of the best views in Cheshire? Well, find me a better one! Come and make it yours. 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** Eaton is a historic and picturesque village with superb community centre, beautiful church and popular primary school.
