Warrington Road, Mickle Trafford, CH2

Set discreetly along Warrington Road, Trafford House Farm is a semi-detached home with origins in the 18th century. Once part of a larger manor, it now stands as an individual property within approximately one acre of mature grounds. Its position offers a balance of privacy and convenience, with village amenities nearby and Chester within easy reach.

A tree-lined driveway leads to the house, which sits comfortably within its plot. The gardens are well established, creating a sense of seclusion, though the property as a whole would benefit from a programme of updating.

Character and Atmosphere

Inside, the house retains a number of period features, giving it a sense of history and character. While some areas have been maintained, others would now benefit from refurbishment.

The sitting room enjoys good natural light from a bay window overlooking the front garden. A fireplace provides a focal point, and the room offers a comfortable space with scope for improvement.

The dining room has a more traditional feel, with panelled walls and parquet flooring. The staircase rises from here, adding interest and reinforcing the character of the house. It’s a practical space for everyday use as well as more formal occasions.

Kitchen and Everyday Living

The kitchen reflects the age of the property, with exposed beams, quarry-tiled flooring, and a traditional layout. A walk-in pantry provides useful storage, and French doors open onto the patio.

An additional reception room on the ground floor is currently used as a bedroom, offering flexibility as either further living space or guest accommodation. A ground floor shower room adds convenience.

Bedrooms and Private Spaces

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms arranged around a central landing. Each has an outlook over the surrounding gardens or neighbouring fields.

The principal bedroom benefits from particularly open views, while another retains a cast-iron fireplace. As with the rest of the house, the bedrooms would benefit from modernisation.

The family bathroom includes a roll-top bath and serves the first floor, though updating would be expected.

Gardens and Grounds

The gardens extend to around one acre and are a key feature of the property. Mainly laid to lawn, they are bordered by mature trees and established planting, with views across open fields to the rear.

A paved patio sits alongside the house, suitable for outdoor seating. There are also outbuildings and a garage, which provide useful storage but may require improvement depending on use.

Village Life and Connectivity

Mickle Trafford offers a range of everyday amenities, including a local shop, post office, and primary school. The surrounding countryside provides opportunities for walking, while Chester offers a wider mix of shopping, dining, and cultural activities.

The property is well located for access to major road networks, with connections to Manchester and Liverpool, and rail services from Chester to London.

A Home with Potential

Trafford House Farm is a property with character, space, and a well-positioned setting. While it would benefit from updating, it offers an opportunity to create a home tailored to individual tastes while retaining its period features.
