Description
Located in the heart of Churton with large garden, gated driveway, garage and a fantastic array of period features, a beautiful four bedroom, two bathroom, three reception room semi detached house.
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
Churton is one of my favourite villages in the locality. It is however rare I get the chance to work here often, as houses so rarely become available! That bears testament to what a wonderful place this is to live, with a strong community spirit, beautiful historic buildings, impressive day to day amenities in nearby Farndon and a delightful position on the English Welsh border, just in to Cheshire. Chester City Centre is just eight miles away.
The village has also been delighted to see the refurbishment and rejuvenation of the local pub, The White Horse into an elite bistro pub, masterminded by the team behind the Sticky Walnut in Hoole. This has quickly become a focal point for village life.
The house itself is one of those beautiful dwellings that gives you a warm and positive feeling the moment you set through the door. The present owners have enjoyed their seven years in the house immensely, bringing up their young family, whilst also making various improvements and positive changes. It is a house that is rich in character and period features whilst also offering a layout and configuration that is ideal for modern day family life with quality bathrooms and kitchen.
**
In total there are three reception rooms and breakfast kitchen, whilst over the top two floors there is a principal bedroom with en suite shower room and three further double bedrooms that are served by a stylish family bathroom. The period features include Minton flooring, cast iron fireplaces, bay windows, original doors and coved ceilings whilst there are also two wood burning stoves.
The plot is large, extending to 0.15 acre and is arranged in an unusual but really appealing way. To the front there is ample driveway parking via a secure gated driveway. Gates then lead through to a large Indian Stone courtyard which is both aesthetically pleasing, a perfect link to the house and a secure area for children to play on bikes. The final area of garden is the long area of lawn to the rear, which provides an excellent area for all the family which is mature and private. At the far end is a further storage building.
This is such a rare buying opportunity, I strongly recommend a viewing.

Location
Churton is a lovely village setting with a thriving refurbished pub restaurant and is just a couple of miles away from the equally beautiful villages of Farndon and Holt.
Farndon is home to a well regarded primary school and has a host of other amenities that include two renovated pub restaurants, post office, general store, butchers, hair and beauty salon, pharmacist, coffee shop and a variety of other amenities including two Churches, Doctors surgery, community hall and sports and social club. A minute's drive over the bridge into Holt and you will find more eateries which includes an excellent Indian restaurant and takeaway, a couple of inns and a substantial general store.
There are so many other beautiful villages within a short drive such as Malpas, Tilston and Tattenhall with each having its own range of excellent amenities. Huntington is ten-minute drive away and is home to a large Sainsbury¿s supermarket, retail park and the A41 junction a few minutes further.
There is a choice of Country Clubs and Spas within easy driving distance and an excellent choice of golf courses which includes the Aldersey Green Club and the renowned Carden Park complex - a Hotel, Country Club with Spa and two courses - one being a Jack NIcklaus championship course - one of only five in the country.
Both Liverpool and Manchester airports are about an hour's drive, as is the North Wales Coast. Secondary schools are within easy reach at Malpas, Christleton and Great Boughton. Abbey Gate College is nearby in Saighton whilst Kings and Queens are in Chester City Centre. Railway stations are located at Chester and Wrexham.
The nearby historic city of Chester is renowned for its charm and character including the Roman Walls, River Dee and Roodee racecourse. The city centre offers a huge variety of shopping and leisure facilities encompassing the famous 'rows' shopping area with bars and restaurants to suit almost every occasion and taste. Local areas of employment are generally accessible by a good network of A roads and motorways.
