A substantial five-bedroom detached character property occupying a delightful and private position, approached via a long driveway from Brown Heath Road, in the sought-after rural surroundings of Christleton, close to the popular villages of Waverton and Christleton.

Set within approximately 2.11 acres, the property offers an excellent combination of spacious accommodation, extensive gardens and grounds, paddock, stabling and a double garage, whilst also providing considerable scope for further enhancement and improvement to suit individual requirements.

The well-proportioned accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming reception hall, downstairs WC, generous living room with open fireplace and French doors providing access to the outside, separate dining room, study, breakfast kitchen and utility room. To the first floor, a split-level landing leads to the principal bedroom, complete with fitted bedroom furniture and en-suite shower room, together with four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
