Description
Tarporley is such a picturesque village and this property is located on the rural edge of the village with views of Portal Golf Course. There are three walking routes into Tarporley village centre, one across fields, the other on a designated footpath from nearby Torr Rise and the other along Eaton Road and across the park. All take around ten to fifteen minutes depending on how quickly you want to walk to pick up your coffee! Accordingly, this magnificent three story detached residence offers a rare blend of country tranquillity and village convenience.
The property forms part of an exclusive enclave crafted by David McLean Homes in 2010, consisting of only four high calibre houses that have been built with excellent quality materials. Privacy and security are paramount here, with the entire development accessed through a telephone operated gated entrance, which can also be accessed with a fob or code.
First impressions are elevated by an imaginative and professionally landscaped frontage that is enjoyed by all four residents and creates a stunning visual approach and a serene outlook to enjoy daily. The particular house occupies a generous plot of 0.15 of an acre, featuring a substantial double width driveway and a double garage (with fob for automatic entry) that together provide ample space for off road parking and vehicle turning space for several vehicles.
The internal proportions are truly impressive, spanning a total of 2848 square feet across three levels of living space. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious reception hall that serves as the central hub of the home. To the right lies a dedicated study, while the left leads into an well proportioned living room. This primary reception space room extends to twenty three feet in length and features a handsome fireplace as its central focal point. Further along the hall, there is access to a ground floor cloakroom and the heart of the home: a superb open-plan family kitchen and dining area.
Designed for the rhythms of modern life, this open plan space offers wonderful views of the landscaped garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile further reception room, currently utilised as a formal dining room but equally suited as a children's playroom, second sitting room or home office. Completing the ground floor is a bespoke, high grade orangery measuring twenty two feet by nine feet. This relatively recent investment by the current owners maximises the garden views, provides an additional reception room and provides direct access to the outdoor space.
The first floor commences with an elegant and airy landing. The principal bedroom suite is a sanctuary of scale, featuring a walk through dressing room with extensive fitted wardrobes that leads to a full ensuite bathroom complete with a separate shower. The second bedroom is similarly impressive, offering fitted wardrobes, its own ensuite, and pleasant views over the rear garden. A third double bedroom on this level also benefits from built in storage and a ensuite shower room.
The architectural journey concludes on the second floor, where two additional large bedrooms are situated. These rooms are served by a central bathroom and offer notable flexibility; they are ideal as traditional bedrooms but could easily function as teenage breakout spaces, hobby rooms, or private sitting areas.
The exterior of the property is just as meticulously curated as the interior. Having been a significant project for the current owners during their thirteen years of tenure, the rear garden is outstanding. It features a bespoke summerhouse and recently installed composite decking, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The intelligent landscaping incorporates a vast array of specialty plants and high quality lighting, all with the intention of maximising privacy and colour whilst also providing a sense of established maturity.
There is so much to enjoy here and with only two sales here in the last thirteen years, this in itself bears testament to what a popular place it is to live.

Location
Tarporley is one of Cheshire's most highly regarded villages that boasts a diverse selection of amenities including a community centre, tennis courts, convenience stores, fashion boutiques, cafes, restaurants, public houses, doctors' surgery, dentists, three Churches and a very extensive bus route. There is also a golf course and private gymnasium / swimming pool on the edge of the village and state of the art gym and fitness centre with car park along the main High Street, known as ‘Instinct 78’.
In terms of education, there is a very popular Primary School in the centre of the village that has in recent times been extended and heavily invested into. This in turn feeds into Tarporley High School. For those seeking Schools in the independent sector, The Grange in Hartford is a little under 20 minutes away and there is also Kings, Queens, and Abbeygate in Chester.
The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside and places of significant interest that include ancient castles, boating facilities on nearby canals and the outstanding Sandstone Ridges of Cheshire. Wonderful walks are provided via the Whitegate Way and Sandstone Trail. Without leaving the village, there is walking distance access to beautiful countryside.
Whilst the area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, the house also offers an excellent base for the business traveller. In terms of road links, there are extensive connections to the M56, M6 and M53. The A49, A51 and A55 all link to key areas of commerce and interest.
With regards to railway services, there are stations at nearby Hartford, Cuddington, Delamere, Frodsham, and Chester. All operate on either the Chester to Manchester or Liverpool to London lines. Fast connections can be enjoyed at Crewe railway station, with the service to London Euston taking just over 90 minutes.
Two international airports are located within 45 minutes drive to Liverpool John Lennon International Airport and Manchester International Airport.
