Boughton Hall Avenue, Chester, Cheshire, CH3

A beautifully renovated and extended family house with a lovely view of the cricket pitch.

Description

The owners of 17 Boughton Hall Avenue have undertaken a complete and comprehensive programme of renovation and extension. The work undertaken includes but is not limited to, constructing an extension to the rear and side to provide an orangery, superb principal bedroom suite and roof terrace. The attention to detail is meticulous and the quality of workmanship and materials used is first rate. The result is a cleverly designed and beautifully presented four/five bedroom home perfectly suited to contemporary family living.

Entry to the house is under a covered porch into a beautiful reception hallway. To the left of the hallway is an elegant sitting room with bespoke Clive Christian built-in cabinets, a really attractive living flame electric fire and a LED mirror TV unit. Smart glazed doors open through to the kitchen.

At the core of the house is the stunning open-plan Clive Christian kitchen which has a real wow factor but is also designed to be functional and practical. The handmade kitchen has a range of wall and base units, pantry, integrated American style fridge/freezer, microwave, full size wine cooler triple oven and steam oven. There is a chef's island with ceralsio work surface, storage drawers, dishwasher, sink with boiling water tap, halogen hob and concealed extractor. As expected with a kitchen of this quality internal cabinets and drawers are all solid wood and finished to a very high standard. The integrated appliances are Miele. This is an incredibly well thought out space and links seamlessly through to the orangery. The orangery is a beautiful room with two roof lanterns and large windows to three sides maximising the natural light and really encapsulating the lovely view. The orangery is fitted with high quality electric retractable blinds. The credenza and dining table have been designed to match the kitchen and have ceralsio surfaces. This entire area of the house is a really sociable space and has a real indoor/outdoor feel. The kitchen and orangery have underfloor heating and marble tiled flooring matching the sitting room. Off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry with storage shelves and units.

The principal bedroom is on the ground floor and has a range of high quality fitted wardrobes, drawers, vanity units and kardean floor. There is access through to an en suite shower room and at the other end of the room double glazed doors lead through to a dressing room, study, snug or possible bedroom five. The principal bedroom suite is a flexible space that could easily be adapted to living space if required but is clearly very useful for a dependent relative. This room has the benefit of air conditioning and underfloor heating.

To one side of the first floor hallway is access through to the study. This room again is a really flexible space and with a lantern roof, windows to three sides and a solid wood floor. It would make an ideal art or yoga studio. There is access out to an entertaining terrace which has artificial grass and a seamless glass balustrade this is the perfect spot to entertain guests while enjoying a birds eye view of cricket. The study has a series of electric blinds. There are two bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level. Stairs lead up from the hallway to bedroom four.

The house is set well back from the road and approached from Boughton Hall Avenue through electric gates onto a paved driveway with parking for several cars. There is front to back access to the rear of the property. The rear garden is easy to maintain and primarily laid with artificial grass and composite decking, surrounded by mature hedging and borders. There is a really attractive summer house which is currently used as a gym but could easily be a home office or hobby room. There is also a separate garden store.
