Description
This exceptional home offers wonderfully adaptable accommodation arranged over three floors, combining period character with versatility. The accommodation briefly comprises a wonderful reception hall with fireplace and WC, formal lounge, dining room, fully fitted home office and an impressive 36’ open-plan living/dining kitchen, enhanced by a striking vaulted ceiling and access to the gardens via two sets of double doors. To the first floor are two bedrooms, including the principal bedroom suite with a quality range of fitted wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom, and also a family bathroom. There are two further bedrooms to the second floor, with the larger of the two bedrooms benefitting from an en-suite shower room.
Externally, the grounds are a particular highlight, providing privacy, maturity and space rarely found in such a central village position. The detached double garage is complemented by an excellent self-contained one-bedroom annexe above, ideal for guests, multi-generational living or potential income. The gardens are enchanting, with a large terrace directly to the rear of the kitchen, manicured large lawn with pretty summer house and a less formal meadow area beyond.
Occupying one of the largest plots in the village and offered to the market with no onward chain, Providence House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a true Cheshire gem.
Important note: The neighbouring house has a permanent vehicular and pedestrian right of way through the electric gates and along the driveway of Providence House, to access their own property, and this splits the terrace and gardens to the rear of the house.
