Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
A view of one castle from the garden, and set in the shadow of a second, it is not often in estate agency that you get to say that!
The location of this property is worthy of the highest levels of approbation, with exceptional levels of privacy, a delightful mature garden, a tranquil position and the best of scenic walks quite literally on the doorstep. The sense of the idyllic rural combines with practicality, with fibre broadband internet enjoyed by the present owners.
The house itself has an interesting history, dating originally from the 1880s and having been sympathetically extended and enhanced through the years. The vast majority of it is detached, with just a small section, the original front, attached to the adjoining property.
The present owner has taken the property on to new heights, with a sympathetic and stylish renovation that combines architectural excellence and numerous quirky features with day to day practicality and flexibility of space.
There are plenty of highlights internally, here are some of mine! The dual aspect living room forms part of the extended section of the house but was crafted with great care and sympathetic use of materials with both sandstone walls and exposed timber beams, solid oak flooring and a Clearview wood burning stove. This rooms also delivers great aspects of the garden.
In Cheshire, the name Brownlow Furniture is instantly linked with quality and bespoke solutions. Accordingly, the fact this house has a Brownlows kitchen is sure to impress. The kitchen incorporates a range of high-end fixtures and fittings including a Quooker tap, substantial fitted larder cupboard.
The principal bedroom is a treat, with excellent rural views via a Juliet balcony and a intelligently thought through fixed, walkaround bedhead providing a designated dressing area. The large en-suite wet room is well appointed and the room as a whole has a sense of being a most elegant and relaxing retreat space.
The floorplan sets out the full accommodation on offer, with the overall size a little under 2000 square feet.
If like me you agree that there is not much better than a true English Country garden, then you will adore the offering here. Pretty, bursting with colour, full of variety and beautifully planned, this is a setting that will bring delight every day even when its raining!
For those who enjoy a great walk with the reward of a drink or bite to eat along the way, this location provides access to Shady Oak and Pheasant pub both within 40 minutes walk and there are also cafes at Beeston Castle, Beeston locks and Bunbury village. Bunbury offers an extensive range of day to day amenities.
This house has been much loved by the present owners and is dripping with charisma from the moment you see it. A true chocolate box cottage in an iconic location, this is something special, with significant interest anticipated.
