Description

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

Houses with land close to Nantwich and Tarporley are so often priced at £800,000 to £1,000,000 and accordingly out of reach for a great many potential buyers. The beauty and particular rarity of this offering is that a good size and well presented four bedroom house is combined with a total plot of 1.7 acre at a very competitive guide price. With the associated outbuildings of stables (557 square feet) kennels (272 square feet) and stores (143 square feet) this is a super option for those with horses, ponies, donkeys, alpackers, livestock or very energetic dogs who want plenty of space!

It is also a super environment for a family, with a four bedroom, two bathroom house extending to 1646 square feet providing an excellent base for day to day life. The cottage has been extended, is in good order and provides a pleasing balance of traditional features and elegance with a flexible layout. The open plan kitchen is impressive as are the two distinctive and appealing reception rooms.

Henhull is a something of a little known hamlet, just two north of Nantwich. The area links in naturally with the adjoining villages and hamlets of Acton, Worleston, Poole and Aston Juxta Mondrum. One of the very significant selling points of this location is the ability to walk into the centre of Nantwich with no need to get in a car, in just over thirty minutes.

Oak Cottage offers a very good solution for those looking to acquire a property that has been continually invested in. The fencing has all recently been replaced in full, the private drainage system is complaint with the 2020 regulations, the driveway well gravelled and the outbuildings all checked for being watertight. It is also reasonable for running costs, with an example being the good value C council tax banding. All in all it’s a very impressive package and such a rare offering.

A drive by viewing does nothing to tell the full story of this property and I would thoroughly recommend booking a viewing to get over the threshold and fully understand all it has to offer, both inside and out.

If you call in for an ice cream at nearby Snugburys on your way to see me in nearby Tarporley, mine is salted caramel please!

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office.

Accommodation and dimensions

Location

The subject property is located about 2 miles north of the market town of Nantwich. There is a primary school in nearby Acton village and the nearby settlement of Worleston has a bakery / grocers, church, superb primary school, refurbished pub restaurant and excellent walks.

Henhull is located fifteen minutes drive from the highly sought-after village of Tarporley and just five minutes from the popular market town of Nantwich. Tarporley has an attractive High Street with a wide range of independent shops and restaurants, and Nantwich complements this with additional boutiques, high street shops and an active events calendar.

Nantwich has two secondary schools with Malbank being within catchment. Independent schooling is available at Kings' and Queens' in Chester, Abbey Gate College in Saighton and the Grange in Hartford.

The City of Chester (19 miles) is one of the North West's leading retail and commercial centres serving a catchment area extending from Manchester to Shrewsbury and covering the whole of North Wales. Chester also gives access to the motorway network providing a link to other North West and Midlands conurbations and to Liverpool and Manchester airports.

The property is only 6.5 miles from Crewe where there is a direct and regular rail service to London Euston (from 1 hour 34 minutes)

Directions

Leave Tarporley village in the direction of Nantwich and at the traffic light junction with the A49 take a left turn. Upon reaching the ‘Four Lane Ends’ crossroads with the Indian Restaurant on the right hand side, continue straight on the A51 Nantwich. Proceed along for several miles passing through the village of Alpraham and Calveley. Having passed Snugburys Ice Cream farm on the right you will soon reach a crossroads. Take the left filter and proceed in the direction of Nantwich. The entrance to the subject property will be found on the right hand side, clearly identified by a Gascoigne Halman ‘for sale’ board.
