Description

Contemporary design meets countryside living in this beautifully converted two-bedroom first-floor apartment, forming part of the exclusive Old Hall Country Estate. Combining striking original features with high-specification finishes, this impressive home offers a unique blend of character, comfort and modern efficiency.

Situated within a prestigious collection of just 12 luxury barn conversions on a historic moated site, the development enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining just 10 minutes from Chester city centre. Carefully designed with sustainability, quality craftsmanship and community at its heart, each home has been individually created to maximise natural light, space and style.

Inside, the apartment immediately impresses with its vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and expansive glazed French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony, perfectly framing panoramic views across the Cheshire countryside. The open-plan living space is bright and welcoming, enhanced by porcelain tiled flooring and an abundance of natural light throughout.

The contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to balance practicality with style, featuring sleek quartz worktops, a Quooker boiling water tap and a range of integrated appliances, including an oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer. A bespoke utility room positioned just off the kitchen provides valuable additional storage and functionality.

Both bedrooms offer comfortable and versatile accommodation, complete with fitted TV points, quality carpeting and generous natural light. The bathroom continues the home's premium specification, with elegant porcelain tiling and contemporary fittings, including energy-efficient dual-flush sanitaryware.

Designed for modern living, the apartment benefits from underfloor heating throughout, powered by an energy-efficient air source heat pump. Double-glazed timber-framed windows and high-performance insulation help enhance comfort while supporting lower energy costs.

A particularly rare feature for an apartment is the inclusion of a private garden and patio area, creating the perfect space to relax, entertain or enjoy the surrounding countryside. The property also benefits from a private garage with an electric door and power supply, together with private driveway parking.

Offering the perfect balance of contemporary luxury and rural tranquillity, this outstanding home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy modern countryside living within one of Chesters most distinctive residential developments.

WANT TO MOVE BUT NEED TO SELL?

If you are interested in this property but need to sell your own home, Carman Friend would be delighted to discuss how we can help. Please contact us at any time to arrange for Samantha Carman or Gareth Friend to have a chat about this! How many times do we talk about service? In a strong market most properties will sell… but how many people come away unhappy with the service? Being passed from pillar to post, bad communication, conflicting advice, poor marketing material, dealing with different people each day who don’t actually know much about the property. At Carman Friend it is our sole aim to provide an “intentionally different” service, you deal with one of the directors from the moment we meet you, until the day you hand the keys over. Don’t just take our word for it… Please see why so many choose to use us at

Management Charge

There is a service charge due on the 1st January and the 1st July in each year. The service charge budget covers a 12-month period, ending on the 31st December in each year. At the end of the service charge year, the budget will then be reviewed by the Property Manager, and any changes will be based on the anticipated expenditure for the next 12 months. After the end of the service charge year, year-end accounts will be prepared which will show the budget vs expenditure, and a balancing charge will be issued – in the case of an underspend it would be a credit, or in the case of overspend it would be a debit.
