Description
Offering the perfect balance of traditional proportions and contemporary family living, this extended, bay-fronted semi-detached home in Barnton is a property that has clearly been designed around the way people live today. Presented in excellent condition throughout, it combines a welcoming atmosphere with generous, versatile accommodation, a superb conservatory extension and a private rear garden complete with a fantastic timber garden room currently arranged as a games room and bar.
Step inside to an inviting entrance hall, setting the tone for the well-maintained accommodation beyond. To the front, the principal lounge is a lovely reception room, its bay window drawing in natural light and providing a pleasant focal point. Continuing through the ground floor, a separate dining room offers excellent flexibility and is currently used as a second sitting room, complete with a wood-burning stove that creates a cosy setting for evenings at home.
Open to this room is a substantial conservatory extension with a proper roof, transforming it into a genuinely usable additional living space rather than simply a seasonal extra. With French doors opening directly onto the rear garden, it provides an ideal setting for relaxed family time, entertaining friends or enjoying views of the garden throughout the year.
The kitchen is finished in a contemporary white Shaker style, combining clean lines with timeless appeal. Integrated appliances maintain the streamlined finish, while a wine cooler adds a thoughtful touch for those who enjoy entertaining. A ground-floor W.C. completes the downstairs accommodation, adding welcome practicality to everyday family life.
Upstairs, the four bedrooms offer flexibility for growing families, visiting guests or those working from home. Three are comfortable doubles, complemented by a fourth single bedroom. The accommodation is particularly well served by two contemporary washrooms: a family bathroom and a separate modern shower room, helping busy mornings run that little bit more smoothly.
Outside, the rear garden has been designed for straightforward enjoyment, with extensive paving providing space for outdoor dining and seating, complemented by mature borders that add greenery and privacy. The real highlight is the impressive timber garden room, currently styled as a games room and bar. Whether you envisage a dedicated entertaining space, a home office, a hobby room or somewhere for teenagers to make their own, it adds an exciting extra dimension to the property.
To the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking for two to three vehicles, alongside an integral garage with a motorised door. It is a practical arrangement that offers useful storage, secure parking and the convenience families appreciate.
Situated in the popular village of Barnton, the property is well placed for everyday amenities, local shops and services, with a choice of schools serving the surrounding area. Northwich is readily accessible for a wider selection of shopping, leisure facilities and rail connections, while the surrounding Cheshire villages and countryside provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Road links also make the area a practical base for commuting across mid-Cheshire and towards the wider motorway network.
With its extended living space, excellent presentation, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a garden room that brings something a little different, this is a home that offers both immediate comfort and the flexibility to adapt as family life evolves.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Arrange your viewing and discover just how much this impressive Barnton home has to offer.
