Balterley Court, Balterley, CW2

Tastefully renovated by the current owners, this impressive four/five bedroom barn conversion in Balterley beautifully marries striking modern country design with the character and charm of its original agricultural roots, creating a home that feels both stylish and full of personality. This multi-generational home offers spacious and highly versatile accommodation expanding over 2,767 sq.ft., perfect for modern family living. Tucked away and approached via a long, beautifully maintained beech tree-lined avenue, the property enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting away from passing traffic. With resident parking positioned just outside, the homes overlook a charming central courtyard and green, unobstructed by vehicles.

The ground floor offers a superb sense of space and flow, centred around a generous entrance hall that doubles as a welcoming reception room. This space features bespoke boot room storage and flexible under stairs storage solutions, making it as practical as it is inviting.

Double solid-oak doors lead into a stunning living room, perfect for relaxed evenings and entertaining guests. This calming space features a log burner, adding warmth and character, while French doors open out onto a patio area, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

The light-filled kitchen and breakfast room is a true highlight, featuring a bespoke, hand-painted design by local company Puddled Duck Kitchens, combining craftsmanship with contemporary styling. The space has been thoughtfully designed for both practicality and entertaining, with built-in seating that cleverly incorporates storage beneath. A generous island offers additional seating with practical storage solutions and hidden sockets. Recessed lighting, stylish display shelves, a worktop pantry and larder cupboard, all add to the luxurious feel of this stunning space, which is finished with sleek suede Silestone Quartz worktops.

The under-mounted double Belfast sink, which overlooks the garden, is fitted with a premium Quooker multi-function tap, offering boiling, chilled, and sparkling water options. A true cook’s kitchen, integrated appliances include a Rangemaster oven, dishwasher, microwave, full-length fridge and full-length freezer, as well as a wine fridge, creating a sleek and fully equipped culinary space.

A separate utility room enhances the home’s practicality, offering space for both a washing machine and dryer, along with full-height, flexible storage stretching along one wall. Boot room style bench seating and a panelled coatrack provide practical storage - perfect for kicking off muddy boots after a long walk across the fields to Betley from your back gate.

A dedicated home office/bedroom with abundant modular storage, serviced by ultrafast fibre broadband, provides an excellent work-from-home environment or further bedroom option, and a conveniently placed guest WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, a galleried landing with striking original beams enhances the sense of openness and architectural interest, offering spectacular views of the back garden and uninterrupted Cheshire countryside beyond. A well-situated snuggle chair takes full advantage of this view and provides a perfect spot for a morning coffee or a good book.

The principal bedroom suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring a generous dressing room and a sumptuous ensuite with an opulent freestanding bath, elegant vanity unit and walk-in rainfall shower, with aged brass Swadling hardware, combining spa-like tranquilty with contemporary elegance. The bedroom’s original oak A-frame provides a spectacular focal point.

A corridor from the galleried landing leads to the second bedroom, which stretches the full length of the property, providing abundant space for storage and relaxing. Built-in wardrobes along one wall enhance its practicality while maintaining a sense of openness. Bedrooms three and four are similar in size, comfortably accommodating double beds, although bedroom four is currently being used as an office/study. All bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom that includes both a bath and a walk-in shower, while additional built-in storage adds everyday convenience.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a garage that has a first-floor workshop, providing additional workspace or hobby space. Two designated parking spaces - one of which is serviced by an electric vehicle charger - and use of the overflow car park provide ample parking. The thoughtfully-designed cottage garden is south facing, offering a serene and private retreat with a beautifully considered aesthetic. A patio area with seating sits under a pergola, creating an inviting spot for outdoor relaxation, and a hot tub is also cleverly positioned beneath the pergola, adding a luxurious touch to the outdoor space.

Throughout the home, contemporary design elements—clean lines, open spaces, and thoughtful layout—are perfectly balanced with retained barn-style features, resulting in a unique and beautifully finished property that offers both character and modern comfort in a desirable semi-rural setting.
