Location

The tranquil hamlet of Hargrave is positioned seven miles to the east of Chester. It dates back to Norman times & is situated alongside the Shropshire Union Canal between Tattenhall, Tarporley & Chester. The local Village Hall and green is maintained by the "Sir Thomas Moulson Trust" and the beautiful St Peters parish Church & bowling green is just a few moments stroll from the front door of the subject property. The village lies on the Cheshire plain & enjoys glorious views across some of the Countys’ finest countryside, particularly towards the twin castles of Beeston & Peckforton. The Inn at Huxley (formerly The Farmers' Arms) is noted as a go to destination for fine dining.

Nearby Tattenhall has a picturesque high street and offers a good range of services including general store, post office, hairdressers, chemist, doctor surgeries, pubs, restaurants, parish Church and a popular primary school. Also close by is Tarporley, one of Cheshire's most highly regarded villages. It offers a range of facilities including a diverse selection of shops, post office, café's, restaurants, pubs, hospital, churches, highly regarded primary & secondary school and golf course. The historic City of Chester, with Roman and Tudor origins, has a great array of shops, a stunning Cathedral, riverside position and an expanding university with sporting facilities.

On the educational front there is a choice of state primary schools situated in the villages of Waverton, Tattenhall Huxley and Duddon, and secondary schools at Tarporley, Christleton and Malpas. These are complemented by a good selection of independent schools nearby including King’s and Queen’s in Chester, Abbeygate College at Saighton and The Grange at Hartford.

On the recreational front there are several sports clubs locally including football, rugby, cricket, tennis, squash and hockey and golf courses at Waverton, Tarporley, Carden Park, Aldersey Green and Willington. There is motor racing at Oulton Park and for the equestrian enthusiasts racing at Chester. For those who enjoy a walk, the Sandstone Trail runs over the Peckforton and Bickerton Hills and there are hundreds of acres to enjoy at Delamere Forest.

Local Equestrian attractions include Horse Racing at Chester, Haydock and Bangor on Dee; Polo at Cheshire Polo Club in Little Budworth; Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre, show-jumping at Southview, Broxton Hall Gallops; excellent outriding via the local country lanes and the Bishop Bennett Bridleway, a 34m route from nearby Beeston Castle to Wirswall on the Shropshire border and the nearby Delamere Loop.

The property is within commuting distance of Manchester and Liverpool via M56 & M53. Chester mainline train station offers excellent services to London, Liverpool and Manchester whilst International Airports are found in both Liverpool and Manchester.
