Description
Impeccably presented and offering extensive accommodation of 2461 square feet, superb detached house set in a private and delightful landscaped plot of 0.24 acre with ample parking and beautiful garden
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
I like quiz shows and of course they always have lots of questions within them. So, let me start this narrative with a few questions of my own with regards to your property search.
Do you like pleasant surprises? (I have yet to meet anyone who does not!) Is your priority a modern and flexible layout with first class presentation? Do you value privacy and enjoy the joy of a landscaped garden within the context of a near quarter acre plot? If the answers to all of these questions are yes, then you are through to the next round!
This is a house that will make you double take if you do a drive by, as from the front it is hard to believe that it contains 2461 square feet of space and a large and fabulous rear garden. But trust me it does and when you set through the door here you will love what you see. The current owners have renovated the house from top to bottom and the attention to detail, quality and care in all aspects of the works undertaken shine through.
**
For those who are in a good financial position but perhaps lack the time to take on projects, this super home is a stand out option. The ground floor highlight is the high specification kitchen that represents the best in modern day design and finish, running open plan into a beautiful garden room that is presently houses a dining table which comfortably seats fourteen people. There are two additional reception rooms, one of which is also possible to be used as a fifth bedroom.
Upstairs the main bedroom has a dressing room and en suite whilst the three further double bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.
The plot delivers all you could wish, with a peaceful head of cul de sac location, ample parking to the front and a large landscaped garden ideal for growing families or those who love entertaining. It should also be noted that CWAC have granted approval for the moving forward of the garage by 1.5m - see full details on the planning portal via reference 24/02664/FUL
As for the queue of likely viewers, I can only refer back to the quiz show theme I started with and say that your time starts now!

Accommodation and dimensions

Location
The subject property is in Great Barrow, a village of charm, history and character which enjoys a strong community spirit and lies within a green belt and a conservation area.
The property occupies a good central position in the rural village of Great Barrow being just four miles to the east of Chester. The village offers an attractive church, pub / restaurants such as the Stamford Bridge and White Horse Inn, which offers tasty freshly cooked food and a takeaway service.
There is also a social club bowls/cricket fields and Barrow village hall where many community groups are based.
There is a well regarded primary school in the village (Barrow CofE) which is a designated partner school to Christleton High School which is the nearby state school and is OFSTED rated outstanding and there is a daily bus service from Great Barrow. There is also an excellent selection of private schools in and around nearby Chester including Abbey gate College and the Kings & Queens Schools. For those who travel in the direction if Manchester, The Grange Junior and Senior School are located in Hartford and Sir John Dean's Sixth Form Centre can be reached a further five minutes away.
In the village there is a village playing field, cricket club plus several nearby golf courses in the locality at Waverton and Vicars Cross. There is horse racing at Chester, Bangor on Dee and Aintree. Little Budworth offers polo and motor racing at Oulton Park.
The location acts as an ideal base from which to access many other commercial centres including Manchester, Liverpool and Warrington. Furthermore it should be noted that both Manchester International Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport can be accessed within forty minutes drive.
Nearby railway stations are located at Chester, Crewe, Frodsham, Hartford and Nantwich. Crewe station is only 21 miles away and enjoys a direct (circa 90 minutes) and regular rail service to London Euston.
Directions
Leave Tarporley in direction of Chester. Upon reaching the roundabout, take the second exit and proceed along the A51 in the direction of Chester. Proceed through Clotton and Duddon passing landmarks that include Duddon Primary School on the right hand side and Okells Garden Centre on the left hand side. Upon reaching the Tarvin roundabout, take the first exit in the direction of Chester. Proceed along the A51 and upon reaching a set of traffic lights take a right hand turn in the direction of Great Barrow. Having taken the right turn onto Barrow Lane, pass the Stamford Bridge pub on the left hand side and proceed towards the middle of the village. When you see the primary school on the left hand side, take the immediate right onto Main street and follow the road around, passing the White Horse Inn pub on the right hand side and then a sharp left hand bend onto Village Road. Having gone on the straight take a right bend onto Heath Lane. Manor Park will become apparent on the right hand side. Enter the road and head to the top of the cul de sac where the property will be identified by a Gascoigne Halman for sale board.
