Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
Anyone remember the iconic M People song Search for the Hero Inside Yourself? As you might imagine this topic rarely come up at work as a conversation linking estate agents to being a hero is not a natural connection!
This song was a well known hit in the mid 1990‘s and threw down the challenge of continuing to search until you find the key to your life. Many people have taken up this theme and continually asked me through the years what is the key to selling a property? And what are the key things an owner can do to make their home attractive? Well, in my view a crucial key, in addition to location, is continual investment. This particular home is a great example of where continual investment had made a substantial and positive difference, not only in terms of working beautifully day to day, but also in providing the next owner with peace of mind and confidence.
One of the most instantly notable investments is the new roof, which was installed in December 2022 and was a major item of capital expenditure. In addition, in the same year, conservatory roof insulation installed, which made the space into an all year round garden room and bringing matters completely up to date, in July of 2024, the garage also benefited from a new roof.
Internally there is an impressive specification. The well designed kitchen was installed in 2017 whilst the Worcester Bosch combi-boiler was fitted December 2020 and has the balance of a 10 year warranty. At the same time new radiators were installed throughout the property.
Layout wise there are three double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes the most recent of which were installed in the main bedroom in the last two years. The family bathroom is particularly spacious and has a shower enclosure within in it.
The highlight of the accommodation is the garden room, which extends to over 26 feet in length and this compliments a living room and the aforementioned stylish kitchen. The garage is used as a utility area with water, drainage and electricity and as arrange by the current owners has within it a washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer plus extra freezer. Please note these items are not included within the sale price.
Those who wonder where they can put the Christmas decorations and suitcases will be pleased to note there is a large central area of the loft which is boarded giving a very large area for accessible storage, whilst externally there is a new large metal shed (10ft wide x 5.5ft deep x 6ft high) included in the sale price plus a fenced discreet bin storage area. With driveway parking for two cars, day to day convenience is assured and there is also a delightful rear garden.
Priced competitively, offered with no chain and in a great location, this is well worthy of inspection.
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.

Location
Kelsall is an extremely popular semi-rural Cheshire village that combines a central location, excellent day-to-day amenities and a superb position amidst some of Cheshire‘s most picturesque countryside.
Within the village there is a large Co-operative convenience store, a renowned village butcher, pharmacist, ladies hairdresser and hugely popular coffee shop. Moreover there is an active community hall, Doctors surgery, Vets practice, well attended Parish Church and Methodist chapel.
Recreationally Kelsall features tennis courts, playing fields with specialist children‘s play area and a wonderful collection of walking routes in the surrounding countryside, especially the well-known sandstone trail. The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside and places of significant interest that include ancient castles, boating facilities on nearby canals and the outstanding Delamere Forest.
There are a number of pubs in the village, but worthy of particular attention is that in recent times Brunning & Price have completed their full refurbishment of the pub in the centre of the village, The Morris Dancer. This outstanding public house/restaurant has already been met with wide acclaim and is worthy of inspection along with The Boot Inn, famous to all locals for the amazing homemade pies! There is also the Farmers Arms and Royal Oak.
For those with educational needs, Kelsall has an outstanding Ofsted rated primary school on Flat Lane, which in turn feeds into the nearby outstanding Ofsted rated Tarporley High School. There are other well regarded schools in the surrounding villages including Kings & Queens of Chester, Abbeygate and The Grange. There is also an impressive array of events in the state-of-the-art Kelsall Wellbeing Hub, which adjoins the newly constructed (2023) medical centre.
Anyone needing to commute will find great transport links to the M56, M6 and M53. The A49, A51 and A55 all link to key areas of commerce and interest, including Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, Wrexham, and nearby Chester. Rail services from nearby village stations including Delamere and Hartford allow further access to the North West. Two international airports can be located within 45 minutes drive - Liverpool John Lennon International Airport and Manchester International Airport.
