Description
Comment from Oliver Weston of Gascoigne Halman
Enjoying an excellent location within a very popular development this home is positioned with woodland to the rear allowing for a private South facing rear garden. Thanks to the strong internal presentation of the property and its modern build (2014) the property can be enjoyed straight away and the new owners will also benefit from its impressive energy efficiency with the EPC rating of 82 (B).
The property is being sold through the CWAC discounted sale affordability scheme making it an excellent proposition for anyone looking for an affordable move into a lovely area of Cheshire. To purchase the property you will need to have links to the local area but for more details on the scheme please see the section below.
To the ground floor the property consists of an entrance hall leading through to the living room at the front of the house. The kitchen and dining space to the rear links through to a rear entrance hall which offers access to the rear garden and a cloakroom toilet.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, two comfortable double rooms with the third providing flexibility to suit a home office or single bedroom as required. Additional storage space can be found in the loft which has been part-boarded and is accessed via the hatch in the bedroom.
Externally, as previously mentioned the property's rear garden is not overlooked from behind and benefits from being South facing and enjoy sunshine throughout the day. The garden has been split into a patio area, lawn garden, bedding areas and shed storage. The home also enjoys off road driveway parking for two cars.
For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
