Holme Street, Tarvin, Period house, outbuildings & paddock. .

With no chain, set in circa 1.78 acre and located in a central position between Tarporley and Chester, a handsome individual period house with outbuildings, gardens, paddock and huge potential
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This is a home of very considerable distinction which has been owned by the same family for around fifty years. Approached by a notable horse shoe shaped in-and-out driveway, it is set in a plot of around 1.78 acres, which comprises of formal gardens, a former orchard and a grazing paddock. Excellent rural views can be enjoyed and the position is highly convenient, being set back on the main road from Chester to Manchester and accordingly offers superb day to day convenience for access to commercial centres, schools and amenities.

The house has recently benefitted from the replacement of a number of stunning bespoke hardwood double glazed windows in it's front elevation but, more generally, is now in need of extensive capital investment to modernise and enhance the accommodation and thus fully realise the outstanding and significant potential that is on offer.

The main house has a classic aesthetic appearance typical of its Georgian era and internally is packed with period features that include fireplaces, original doors and architraves, a beautiful staircase, coved ceilings and a design that is notable for its many dual aspect rooms. It is the most charming and delightful family home and with three versatile reception rooms, four bedrooms, an en suite bathroom and an additional combined shower and bathroom. The overall size of the main house is 2224 square feet.

Externally there is a terrific range of outbuildings that really complement the main house and that in total add up to 1129 square feet. These provide excellent storage provision but also the opportunity to be customised to suit individual requirements. By way of example, the first floor space over the biggest outbuilding has been identified on the floorplan as being ideal for studio or office use but could, alternatively, be used as a leisure suite or teenagers' break out space.

The gardens are already a delight and the field with cultivation, could be restored to its former glory, as an orchard, vegetable garden and paddock and provides an obvious option for those wishing to have at home a donkey, pony or horse. The lawn to the front of the house has excelled as both grass tennis court and croquet lawn at various times in the past.

This is an exceptionally rare opportunity and a hugely exciting chance to acquire one of the most individual houses in the locality, the like of which only comes for sale very occasionally.
