Description

Set within approximately 7.5 acres of grounds, the house extends to around 2,400 sq ft and offers well-proportioned, versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. Full of warmth and traditional character, it is the sort of home that feels both welcoming and practical, with plenty of space for family life and the flexibility to adapt as needs change over time, while the extensive grounds provide a wonderful sense of privacy and opportunity.

One of the real highlights here is the setting. The house sits beautifully within its own gardens and grounds, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, established floral beds, patio areas, and meandering pathways that create a lovely sense of space and privacy. Beyond the formal gardens, the land opens out into paddocks, making this an especially attractive opportunity for buyers with equestrian interests, livestock ambitions, or those simply looking for a lifestyle property with room to grow.

There is also an excellent range of versatile outbuildings, including garaging, stores, barns, workshops, and a particularly attractive summerhouse with decked veranda. The beginnings of a tennis court are already in place, although this area could equally suit those wanting additional outdoor lifestyle space, a sports area, or something more geared towards equestrian or animal use. A detached double garage with power and lighting, together with a generous parking area, adds further practicality.

Adjoining the main house are two independently accessed one-bedroom annexes, both well-appointed and previously used as short-term rentals. These offer fantastic flexibility, whether for guest accommodation, multi-generational living, passive income, or, subject to any necessary consent, potential to incorporate them into the main home.

For families, the location is also well placed for a number of highly regarded schools, including Ellesmere College, Ellesmere Primary School and Lakelands Academy, which only adds to the wider appeal of the property.

Despite its idyllic rural position, Yew Tree House still offers convenient access to nearby amenities and road links, making it a home that balances countryside living with day-to-day practicality.

The property is understood to benefit from mains water and electricity, with drainage to a private system. It is offered freehold with vacant possession on completion.

Agent’s Comment: - Daniel James

This is a home that offers far more than just square footage. It is the combination of character, land, flexibility, and income potential that makes it stand out. The annexes are a superb addition and open up a variety of possibilities, whether for family, guests, or supplementary income. Equally, the acreage will be a major draw for buyers with animals or those simply craving a more spacious lifestyle setting. Properties that combine a comfortable family home, useful ancillary accommodation, and land in such an attractive setting are always in demand, particularly when they offer this level of versatility.

Additional Property Information:

This charming property comprises a three bedroom main house together with two separate one bedroom cottages outside, offering excellent flexibility for multi generational living, guest accommodation, holiday let potential, or ancillary use.

Inside the main house, the kitchen and utility room benefit from wet underfloor heating, creating a practical and comfortable living space. The kitchen is fitted with an induction hob, fridge freezer, and dishwasher.

There is a working fire in both the middle room and the dining room, while the fire in the games room has been capped. The property also includes an attic space.

Externally, there was previously planning permission relating to the rear of the kitchen, extending it out to the step and creating an internal door linking through to one of the cottages.

The garage is fully insulated, plastered, and has its own fuse box. There is also a shed, which is likewise insulated and benefits from its own fuse box.

A summer house is also included and is fitted with a gas fire powered by LPG bottles.

The property benefits from owned solar panels, which currently generate an income of approximately £2,600 per year.

Lower Frankton is described as having a good community feel, with a local WhatsApp group that helps residents stay connected.
