3 BARN MEWS

3 Barn Mews, Alpraham CW6 9YT

Country comfort, contemporary living
Nestled amidst only a handful of characterful barn-style new build homes, set in an L shape overlooking an attractive village-style green, and with private, uninterrupted farmland views to the rear, Barn Mews is so much more than your typical estate.

Set well back from the road, a serenade of sheep baas and birdsong greets you soothingly, upon arrival home.

With parking and landscaped lawns to the front, make your way along the paved path to the portico sheltered front door, and into the light, bright embrace of the open and airy entrance hall, where views transport you instantly out to the garden and countryside beyond, through open double doors ahead.

OWNER QUOTE: “On the plans we noticed the wall in the centre separating the lounge from the kitchen. We asked the developer to remove the wall and paid for steel to be put in to open everything up at the back.”

A warm welcome
Warmth emanates from the underfloor heating, continuing throughout the ground floor. A modern home, where comfort and convenience are key, such essentials as USB plug points can be found throughout the rooms.

Embrace café culture in the heart of the Cheshire countryside in the home office, a spacious and collaborative working space with room to seat four at the large, L-shaped table. Enhanced by stylish lighting, vibrant wall artistry, signage and a coffee machine, the current owners have cultivated a sociable community work space at home.

The heart of the home
Ahead from the entrance, glazed double doors invite you through to the heart of the home, a harmonious living-dining-cooking space cleverly zoned to provide partition whilst retaining a sociable flow, placing the garden views at the epicentre of the living space.

On the left, the lounge area offers comfort and relaxation, with French doors connecting you instantly to the outdoors.

Savour the view
The main kitchen, overlooking the dining area, is suffused in light, from doors that open to the landscaped patio and garden, and from roof lanterns high up above.

OWNER QUOTE: “I love the fact it’s open, it’s great for entertaining. You can be chatting or watching the television, it’s a great use of space.”

Two tone dark and dove grey cabinetry provides plenty of storage in the kitchen, with fitted appliances including a double oven, warming drawer, microwave-oven, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

OWNER QUOTE: “There are so many species of birds. Watching the wildlife is remarkable.”

A second fridge is conveniently located off the entrance hallway in the utility room, plumbed for washer and dryer and furnished with plenty of storage cupboards, whilst there is a downstairs WC with wash basin also located off the entrance hall.

Soak and sleep
Ascend the glass enclosed staircase to the first-floor landing, where four elegant bedrooms, each furnished with bespoke fitted wardrobes. Turn right into the first of the bedrooms, a light and bright haven, with a Parisian boudoir elegance in its monochrome décor. Plenty of wardrobe space is available.

Next door, with a feature retro headboard, soothing shades adorn the second double bedroom, where a shuttered window provides a leafy outlook.

Gleaming white tiles coat the family bathroom, furnished with a vanity unit wash basin, WC, bath and separate shower.

Spacious and serene, the master bedroom is nestled along the landing, with glorious open views over the countryside framed by the French doors opening to a Juliet balcony. Contemporary wallpaper blends with neutral toned carpets for a fresh, light feel.

OWNER QUOTE: “In the morning, you can see the sunrise.”

Refresh and revive in the private ensuite, with good-size shower, and dual wash basins.

Currently serving as a dressing room, at the end of the landing arrive at the fourth bedroom, whose mirrored fitted wardrobes can be moved into the master bedroom with little fuss, should you prefer to revert this dressing room to its original function.

Tranquillity and calm
OWNER QUOTE: “When you’re in the kitchen looking out to the garden and fields, it’s magical.”

An oasis of calm, the garden patio opens up from both the lounge and kitchen-dining area, a sun-soaked terrace on which to dine alfresco, relax and unwind with loved ones throughout the seasons.

Beautifully landscaped, gravel borders planted with rows of aromatic lavender for successional blooming accompany the structural shades of spherical bay trees, holly and olive trees and topiary planting.

Lush green lawn separates the kitchen patio from the corner terrace, with two areas of decking allowing you to follow the sun around.

Permission has also been granted for the erection of a garden room structure (20x10ft). Outside, there is also an external car charging point, an external water tap and double electric socket.
