Description

This is truly is a must see property occupying an enviable rural position on the edge of the highly regarded village of Tilston, Ivy House is a substantial and wonderfully versatile detached family home, set within exceptional landscaped gardens and extensive grounds extending to paddocks and a beautiful woodland area with a picturesque stream.

General Remarks - Occupying an enviable rural position on the edge of the highly regarded village of Tilston, Ivy House is a substantial and versatile detached family home extending to over 1,800 ft². The property occupies an exceptional 2.6-acre plot, incorporating magical landscaped gardens, adjoining paddocks for grazing animals, mature woodland and a picturesque stream, creating a truly special countryside setting with outstanding lifestyle appeal.

Situation - Ivy House enjoys the best of both worlds: a peaceful rural setting surrounded by countryside, yet within easy reach of village amenities. Tilston is a sought-after South Cheshire village with a friendly community, local shop, popular public house and well-regarded primary school. The surrounding countryside provides an abundance of opportunities for walking and enjoying the rural landscape.

The highly regarded village of Malpas is approximately three miles away and provides a broader range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, pubs, restaurants, a doctors' surgery and well-regarded schools, including a popular secondary school.

The City of Chester and the market town of Whitchurch are readily accessible and provide an extensive range of shopping, educational, leisure and recreational facilities, together with supermarkets, independent retailers and a railway station providing useful connections to the wider region.

The property also enjoys excellent road links, making Chester, Wrexham, North Wales and the wider North West readily accessible.

Brief Description - The house itself has been thoughtfully extended and enhanced over the years to create spacious and adaptable accommodation that combines traditional family living with an excellent connection to the surrounding grounds.

A welcoming reception hall provides access to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms, including a cosysitting room, perfect for relaxing, and dining room ideally suited to entertaining family and friends. A particular highlight is the superb garden room, which enjoys attractive views across the gardens and provides a wonderful transition between the house and its outdoor surroundings. With natural light and views over the grounds, this is a room in which the beauty and magic of the setting can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

The kitchen forms the natural heart of the home and is complemented by a useful utility room and ground floor shower room. The accommodation is equally impressive upstairs, where four generous bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. A charming mezzanine room overlooks the garden room below and provides a versatile additional space, equally suited to a home office, reading room, hobby area or quiet retreat.

Outside & Gardens - Approached by a sweeping circular driveway, the property is surrounded by mature, beautifully established gardens which provide an impressive backdrop to the house and an exceptional degree of privacy and tranquillity.

The gardens and grounds are undoubtedly one of Ivy House's greatest assets and provide a genuine 'wow factor' rarely found with a village-edge family home.

Beautifully established and landscaped gardens immediately surround the property, providing a succession of attractive spaces in which to sit, entertain and enjoy the outdoors. Mature planting, lawns and established trees create a wonderful sense of privacy, whilst the outlook changes as the seasons progress.

From the more formal areas around the house, the grounds naturally transition into adjoining paddock and woodland pasture for grazing animals including ponies, sheep and goats, providing amenity land with enormous lifestyle appeal. These areas could suit a variety of uses, subject of course to any necessary permissions, and will be particularly attractive to those seeking space for outdoor pursuits, gardening, animals or simply the freedom that comes with owning land.

Beyond the paddocks lies a particularly enchanting woodland pasture, where a picturesque stream gently winds its way through the landscape. This secluded corner of the grounds creates an almost magical environment — a place to explore, unwind and enjoy nature, whilst providing an extraordinary degree of privacy and a true connection with the surrounding countryside. This area lies within the Tilston Conservation Area.

Directions - From the Hampton Roundabout drive towards Chester on the A41 for about 1.5 miles and turn left for Tilston. Follow the road for about ¾ of a mile and Ivy House is located on the left-hand side.
