Description
The ground floor accommodation includes a well-proportioned sitting room with a fireplace and direct access to the terrace, as well as a spacious study—also with a fireplace—fitted with a wood-burning stove. A generous dining room leads into the kitchen/breakfast room and connects to an adjacent drawing room, which also features a character fireplace.
The modern L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, a breakfast bar, complementary work surfaces and splashbacks, a gas range, and a selection of modern integrated appliances.
There is ample space for a breakfast table and large windows that frame attractive views over the garden and to the lake beyond.
The first floor offers a particularly spacious L-shaped principal bedroom with built-in storage, and picture windows overlooking the gardens and lake view. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, ideal for family living or guests. This level is served by a stylish family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower, a further generous shower room positioned next to the principal bedroom, and a useful store room, together offering excellent support for modern family life.
The property is set well back from the road and approached via an attractive tree-lined driveway, which creates a sense of arrival and leads to a gravelled forecourt providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, the property enjoys a particularly generous garden, laid predominantly to lawn and enclosed by mature trees and well-stocked shrub borders that offer a high degree of privacy and year-round interest. The grounds are thoughtfully landscaped and include a productive vegetable patch, a greenhouse, and a detached gym. A spacious terrace extends from the rear of the house, providing a superb setting for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining while taking full advantage of the picturesque lakeside views beyond.
The property sits in an attractive semi-rural setting, just outside the picturesque village of Delamere, nestled on the edge of Delamere Forest. The village has a charming rural atmosphere with local amenities including a village shop, pubs, and a primary school, making it a welcoming community. Delamere also benefits from good transport links, with Delamere railway station providing regular train services to nearby cities such as Chester and Manchester, making it popular with commuters who enjoy country living with easy access to urban centres. Additionally, Delamere is well-connected by road, offering convenient access to both local and regional destinations. The A556, a major road in Cheshire, runs through Delamere, providing direct routes to Manchester and Chester.
