One of two principal properties in Davenham dating back to the mid 1800s, more recently notable for its Jazz on the Lawn, ticketed charity events; over the past 24 months, Heyescroft Hall has been reimagined and reinvented as a luxurious, semi-rural home, for those who those who want to socialise in comfort and style. Hidden away from the wider world, and conveniently accessed off the bypass, the sweeping driveway, accessed via an electric gated entrance, curves up to a beautiful turning circle, affording ample parking for fifteen cars. There is also a double car port and garage. **OWNER QUOTE: “We could see character in the home - it just needed bringing up to date with sensitivity.”** **Grand arrival** Step up beneath the pillared portico entrance and make your way through the sage green front door, onto the restored, original Minton tiled floor of the entrance hall. Reinstated panelling to the walls celebrates the heritage of the home, with an archway drawing the eye ahead to emphasise the spaciousness of the entrance hall, a precursor to the voluminous rooms that await at Heyescroft Hall. Freshen up in the cloakroom, where there is ample storage alongside a wash basin and WC. **Top billing** Usher in the weekend with a night at the movies…from the comfort of your own home. Turning right from the front door, take your seats for the latest Hollywood blockbuster in the cinema room. Modernised, whilst retaining the cosy comfort of the original room, a former fireplace has been closed off, whilst built-in cupboards have been retained, alongside original shutters, which close shut to recreate that thrilling lights-down, night at the flicks ambience. Every nuance has been incorporated, right down to the full reclining cinema chairs and screen, whilst the floor, slightly elevated to the rear of the room, ensures every moviegoer can enjoy the best seat in the house. **Traditional comfort** On the left, step into the lounge, where French doors provide instant access to the patio and panelling features to the walls. A luxurious room, with plush carpet underfoot and an imposing fireplace, gather around the crackle of an open fire on Christmas mornings with the family. Opening up from the lounge, step through into the dining room, modernised by the current owners, where panelling features once more alongside a fireplace with log-burning stove. A boot room entrance to the rear is ideal when returning home from a run or walk with the dog, and can also be accessed from the impressive kitchen, the heart of the home. **The heart of the home** Accessible via boot room and entrance hall, the newly fitted kitchen stands testament to the care and consideration devoted by the current owners to the home’s renovation, retaining some original Clive Christian features around doorways and the cookers from the previous kitchen design. Herringbone flooring flows out underfoot, whilst richly toned bespoke cabinetry affords ample storage, dressed in gold handles, harmonising with the taps, chandelier and gold veined white marble worktops for a touch of luxury. A kitchen designed for convenience and ease, deep drawer storage for pots and pans is sensibly located close to the stainless-steel Stoves seven-ring, double cooker with two ovens, plate warmer and grill. Further appliances include a wall mounted Hotpoint microwave, a double Haier wine chiller, an AEG dishwasher with comfort lift tray and a four-function Franke tap for instant boiling hot water and filtered water. Larder cupboards flank the freestanding American style fridge-freezer, with double recycling bins also installed. Every element has been carefully considered for functionality and style, with an extra slim sideboard fitted to one side of the kitchen, ensuring easy flow about the room. The central island breakfast bar is a sociable space that offers casual dining. **Practical places** Reconfigured from the original layout, the utility room has been relocated to open up from the kitchen, where there is plumbing for a washer and dryer and direct access out to the garden. Privately situated away from the main flow of the entertaining spaces, there is also a peaceful office tucked away off the utility room. **An entertaining haven** From the kitchen flow seamlessly through to the orangery, a light filled, sunny space capable of accommodating an eight-seater dining table and sofas, before transforming into a dancefloor when entertaining. Season your mealtimes with fantastic views out to the leafy boughs and formal planting of the parterre garden with the garden visible on three sides. **OWNER QUOTE: “You can leave the bar, head into the orangery which becomes a dance floor and then straight out into the garden. It’s about bringing the outdoors indoors and combining the two.”** Connecting seamlessly to the orangery via a bespoke door is the speakeasy-style bar, which can also be accessed from the kitchen. Sourced from a hotel in Crewe before being stripped and re-stained, the bar, with its rustic timber beam above and inky décor, serves as an intimate escape; the perfect place to begin the weekend after a busy working week. **The West Wing** Returning to the entrance hall, a set of stairs leads up to the large and light first-floor landing, where ahead, refreshment awaits in the family bathroom. Black Crittall style glass encloses the walk-in shower, with a Japandi-theme to the décor shown in the wall mounted wooden vanity unit wash basin and trailing vines above. A freestanding bath, featuring showerhead attachment also features. **OWNER QUOTE: “We’re always trying to bring outside in - from the window here you’re looking out over the orangery and trees.”** Back on the landing, plush silver-grey carpet flows out underfoot, as you make your way along to the ‘West Wing’ master suite. Reminiscent of a luxurious boutique hotel suite, enter into a lounge area, where an open fire throws out heat in the winter months. A room opened up by the current owners to create the most impressive of bedrooms, a panelled wall to the far end of the room features a hidden door that opens through into a dressing room. A sublime space, clever wood panelling allows light to flow through whilst retaining privacy. Bespoke built, the dressing room contains a mixture of illuminated rails, shelving, and a range of drawers offering storage space for cufflinks and belts. Storage for handbags and shoes is also hidden away beneath a seat. **OWNER QUOTE: “We went back to basics with the decor in order to draw the eye to the features of the home.”** Beyond the dressing room, serenity awaits in the master bathroom, the epitome of luxury. With automatic lighting to guide your way at night, the fully tiled bathroom is a vision of elegance, with a deep freestanding bath tub with gold shower head and taps, a hotel-like walk through glazed shower enclosure, a feature mirrored in the fittings of the wet-room style shower and twin vanity unit wash basins with LED demisting mirrors above and even the heated towel radiator. Spacious and sublime, soak away the aches in this spa-style bathroom whilst watching your favourite show on the built-in television. **Room for all** Returning to the landing, step down to discover the second bedroom. A spacious and bright double, with sash window overlooking the garden. Green panelling to the feature wall brings the outdoors in, with wall-mounted bedside lights, plug points and USB charging points. Freshen up in the shower room ensuite, which also contains a wash basin and WC. Across the way a third double bedroom can be found, with leafy views over the garden and high specification fitted furniture. Next to this bedroom a second staircase provides access back down to the ground floor. **Luxury on another level** Make your way up to the second floor where you can find a further modernised bathroom, containing a bath with shower over, alongside a built-in wash basin and WC. Along the landing, discover a large guest bedroom, offering fantastic views out over the woodland. A versatile home, there is so much opportunity to configure the rooms to a function that best suits your lifestyle. Steps lead up to a quirky office room, where a low window brings the outdoors in, giving the feeling of being in the treetops. Again, this room could easily serve as a hobby room or playroom. Also on this level the large landing is currently used as a miniature dressing room plus a fabulously sized bedroom, ideal for guests or retreating teenagers! **Outdoor entertaining** From the orangery, a paved path leads into the centre of the formal parterre garden, where a circular patio is the perfect place for your outdoor dining furniture. Crisp green lawns, ripe for a round of croquet feature throughout the garden, where clipped, mature hedges create separate ‘rooms’ and spaces to explore and seek out a moment of relaxation. From the parterre garden, one paved path leads to the concrete lined swimming pool, heated by solar panel energy. Pull up a lounger and recline beside the pool, admiring the palm trees as the Italianate wall, festooned in the vines of the fig tree, retains the summer heat. **OWNER QUOTE: “With the lighting after dark around the pool, firepit and palm trees, it’s like something out of Love Island. You could be anywhere.”** Pergolas and covered patios invite you to rest and recline throughout the garden, with a woodland walk ideal for children’s play, where you can discover the foundations of a once glorious treehouse, just waiting for an eager imagination to plan out its next chapter. In addition to the treehouse, numerous outbuildings include the pool house and summer house, with a large log store beside the car port and garage. **OWNER QUOTE: “We’ve hosted lots of social events, and even had our silver wedding here, with a marquee, band and dance floor.”** Raised ponds are a haven for wildlife, with a large fenced-off chicken coop to one side of the garden. There is ample scope for a smallholding at Heyescroft Hall for keen gardeners looking to grow their own. **OWNER QUOTE: “It’s wonderful for entertaining, gathered around the firepit table, in the pool, flowing in and out of the orangery and ending the evening in the bar with karaoke. The children can watch a movie with popcorn in the cinema.”** **Out and about** Blending the best of both worlds, from the comfort and convenience of Heyescroft Hall, you can step straight into village life in Davenham. A vibrant village, with a wide selection of amenities including a petrol station, Post Office, beauticians and hairdressers, Davenham is also home to a selection of mouthwatering eateries including contemporary Indian restaurant Eastern Revive on Church Street, popular deli-bistro Devenhams (where you can savour cream teas by day and bring your own bottle along for their regular themed cuisine nights), and the ever-popular Oddfellows Arms, a traditional pub with a welcoming ambience. Discover a wealth of schools close by, with neighbouring Hartford home to a wide selection of educational institutes including Hartford Primary School, St Nicholas Catholic High School, Hartford High and the highly regarded Grange independent school. There is also a door-to-door collection for the nearby Cransley independent school, whilst the high performing Sir John Deane’s Sixth Form College is also just a short distance from the door. **OWNER QUOTE: “We are hidden in a secret bubble; a one and a half acre private paradise with civilisation immediately on the doorstep.”** Commuters are perfectly placed for easy transport links, with direct access into Chester and Manchester. Ideal for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, and perhaps start a family in the countryside, enjoying all village life has to offer whilst retaining easy connections out and about, Heyescroft Hall is a home that allows a family to grow and socialise – with everything on your doorstep.
