About this listing
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman Are you looking for a home with character, features, quality and a layout that is highly flexible? Are you seeking a property which offers ample space in a stunning setting but is relatively straight forward to maintain? Do you delight in rural life and enjoy country walks without the need to get in a car? If the answers to all these questions are yes, this is a home that is going to be of considerable appeal. It is set in a select enclave of just a few individual homes and the present owners have certainly love it, having owned it or twenty one years. In terms of setting, the approach is excellent, having a driveway that leads to a large turning circle and beautifully maintained shared grounds that have mature trees, well stocked beds and as a whole, are kept in impeccable order. This area is in addition to the private garden that the subject property enjoys. There is also off road parking and a garage.
The barn is fully deserving of its Grade II Listed status but this belies what is actually a very contemporary and cutting edge layout and configuration, perfectly blending the traditional with the more modern. In many ways stepping over the threshold is a real wow moment as the accommodation opens out into a much larger footprint than might initially seem likely from looking at the external elevation. One thing I have noted in my career is the increasing desire for an open plan kitchen dining and living room. This barn delivers such a concept in spectacular style, with a super flow and a fabulous vaulted ceiling that really maximises the visual impact of the space. It is a wonderful setting for entertaining, parties and just ultra comfortable day to day life. This barn also delivers a rare and most welcome bedroom layout, with ground floor and two first floor, making this ideal for those with older family or looking for a multi generational living concept. The barns forms part of a delightful rural lane, located in a most pretty location with views excellent views yet also within comfortable travelling distance of Malpas, Tattenhall, Bunbury, Tarporley and Chester. If when booking a holiday you look for a location with amazing views, tranquillity and a sense of openness then this a house you should seriously consider buying as you get all of the above, each and every day. Priced competitively and being a one of a kind opportunity, a viewing appointment is strongly recommended. For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office. Accommodation and Dimensions As detailed on the floorplan.
