DESCRIPTION
Carden Bank occupies a prime location in South Cheshire well away from busy main roads, rail lines and flight paths, yet is within walking distance of a lovely village community. The property was most likely originally part of the Carden Estate, and has been in the present owners’ family for over 30 years. Dating from 1828, Carden Bank is Listed Grade II being of special architectural and historic interest, and is a fine example of the early 19th Century building period having a symmetrical front façade with verandah.
The house is constructed of brick, part white painted, on a stone plinth beneath a pitched slate roof with parapet and high chimney stacks, and is served by oil central heating, the boiler for which was replaced in 2023. The accommodation is well proportioned and full of character, arranged predominantly over two floors along with an extensive cellar and two second floor attic rooms which have been used as bedrooms. There are high coved ceilings, fireplaces with woodburners, and attractive windows. Indeed, Carden Bank has been a wonderful family home, and offers the new owner an exciting opportunity to acquire a charming country property with potential for further alterations and improvements, occupying a delightful private setting in an area where very few properties are ever offered for sale.
The front door opens to a large reception hall with elegant staircase, and off which are two of the principal reception rooms each having large French windows opening to the verandah, and one with a woodburner. Beyond is a further sitting room with triple aspect including to the south facing walled courtyard, and at the other end of the house is the kitchen with breakfast room. The working end of the kitchen has a range of wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers, sink with mixer tap, and a four oven Aga. At the other end of the room, which overlooks the front of the property, there is plenty of space for a table and chairs, and also a door provides access down to the cellar.
At first floor level the accommodation is as comprehensive. There are two main bedrooms in the principal part of the house overlooking the front garden, and a family bathroom. To either wing are two further double bedroom suites, each with ensuite bathrooms, and one has a dressing room which could alternatively be used as an interconnecting bedroom. There is a further single bedroom, and at second floor level two large rooms which, too, have been bedroom accommodation over the years.
LOCATION
Carden Bank occupies an extremely peaceful, rural location in the highly sought after area of Carden, close to Tilston Village and some 14 miles to the south of the historic city of Chester. The property enjoys an unspoilt, private position set back off a quiet country lane up a long drive and surrounded by its own land. The property adjoins open countryside and also one of the Carden Park golf courses at the rear. Indeed, Carden Park is within walking distance, which offers a popular Spa, restaurant and choice of golf courses as well as hotel accommodation.
Nearby Tilston is a popular village and has a blend of period and modern properties. It provides local services for everyday needs including a shop, pub, playing field and church, with Malpas having a more comprehensive range of shops, restaurants, high street banks and doctor’s surgery. Both The Carden Arms in Tilston and The Cock O’ Barton are within walking distance. Chester, Wrexham and Whitchurch are within easy reach offering supermarkets and selection of sporting and leisure facilities.
On the recreational front there are several golf courses locally as well as Carden Park there is Aldersey Green, Portal near Tarporley and Delamere, together with a sports club in Malpas. For the equestrian enthusiast there is good hacking out directly from Carden Bank, racing at Chester and Bangor on Dee and hunting with Sir Watkin Williams Wynn and Cheshire Beagles.
Schooling is well catered for in the area with a primary school in Tilston along with several private and state schools within easy reach including Bishop Heber High School at Malpas, Kings and Queens in Chester, Abbey Gate College in Saighton, Packwood Haugh at Ruyton XI Towns and Ellesmere College.
COMMUNICATIONS
Carden Bank enjoys excellent road communications with the A41 approximately 2 miles away which connects with the M53/M56 motorways facilitating daily travel to Liverpool and Manchester. The A41 also links with the M54 serving the Midlands and beyond to the M5/M6. There is a sub 2 hour rail service from Chester to London Euston, and international airports in both Liverpool and Manchester, which are 35 and 45 miles respectively.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a wide splayed entrance with painted gate pillars, and over a gravelled drive flanked by mature trees to large parking areas in front of and to the side of the house. Across the front elevation is a decorative verandah and flagged patio, accessed from the front door and French doors from two of the reception rooms. Immediately in front of the house is a wide lawn which extends to a sandstone haha below which is a field, which is down to grass and surrounded by dense hedgerows. Within the field are several trees, including a large eucalyptus, and there are numerous other mature trees around the grounds including oak, beech and sycamore, which all help to enhance the private setting.
To the rear of the house is an attractive cobbled courtyard formed by the house and barn, which has two attached single storey garden stores. It is predominantly of brick construction beneath a slate roof, and is arranged over two floors with a single storey side extension. The barn has been used for storage in recent years. Indeed, subject to the availability of any necessary consents, the building offers tremendous scope for conversion to ancillary accommodation, as a letting cottage or an office, depending on a new owner’s requirements.
Beyond the barn is an orchard which provides access around to the south of the house to a lovely enclosed stone patio area, both of which are surrounded by mature hedgerows. There is a further lawn beside the drive which extends to a pond and beyond which is an area of woodland which provides privacy and shelter for the machinery shed. A purpose built steel framed shed with plastic coated tin cladding and monopitch roof, and measuring 13.5m x 4.5m, having sliding door. It is a versatile building which provides excellent storage. The remainder of the property comprises a single field, and gardens which can be accessed from the field in front of the house through a pair of five bar gates and crossing the public footpath. The field has been planted with saplings and offers an attractive area of amenity land for walking and also serves to enhance the property’s privacy. The field could be made suitable for grazing if required subject to the removal of many or all of the trees.
