Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

If you want a one word summary, the word is WOW. If you want a more comprehensive description, read on!

This is a wonderful buying opportunity and an overall property of exceptional unique quality in a remarkable elevated location that is documented as being one of the highest points in the County. Accordingly, the views are far reaching and extensive and the grounds extend in total to 7.62 acre.

The property in summary comprises a detached converted barn extending to 4308 square feet, a cutting edge contemporary two storey outbuilding with terrace of 1046 square feet with permission for use as garage, home office and gym and an equestrian yard that has 784 square feet stable block, ménage, paddocks, a field shelter and its own independent gated entrance.

The property has only ever had one owner and in the nearly twenty years of ownership, there has been substantial and continual capital investment into every aspect of the property, with painstaking attention to detail and intelligently thought through, beautifully implemented changes.

The principal accommodation is the 4308 square feet detached barn, completed in 2005 with all work undertaken by one of this part of Cheshire¿s most renowned developers, PPLS Developments. There is a stunning use of oak and high grade materials throughout and the layout is perfectly formulated for family life. There is also a huge amount of space. The house is ready to move into and can be enjoyed immediately, whilst also offering some scope for individual customisation and selective contemporary upgrading.

One aspect of this amazing home which requires no change at all is the incredible two storey outbuilding, with consent for use as a garage, home office and gymnasium. Cutting edge contemporary quality is on show here with a sophisticated LED lighting system and top grade fitments throughout, together with bespoke furniture and doors and recently has had a new boiler and flue installed. 1046 square feet in total and with a designated terrace, this is a building of rare and special quality.

The property has two gated entrances, one leading to the main residence and one to the equestrian yard. The views from the latter being elevated, far reaching, very wide and hugely impressive.

The key thing to understand with this amazing home is the lifestyle options it so readily presents. Enjoy walking? Then stroll into Delamere Forest. Enjoy hosting parties? With extensive parking, gorgeous gardens and designated terraces, there is no better setting. Enjoy wildlife and nature? The natural habitat here is exceptional. Want the space and feeling of character without the maintenance problems of older houses? Look no further! Enjoy peace, tranquillity and just want to get away from it all? This is the setting for you!

The location is ideal for those who want to embrace the best benefits of rural life without compromising on centrality and accessibility. The far reaching rural views, walks connecting to Delamere Forest and the wonderful grounds give this property the sense of rural delight. But it is also convenient , you can walk to school (Delamere CE Primary Academy) and a thriving village store yet also commute to Chester, Manchester and Warrington with ease.

This is also an ideal location and format for those who enjoy total privacy and seclusion yet also value the security and sense of community that comes with not living totally on your own. The adjoining barns in Old Pale Heights are striking, distinctive and of high quality and whilst offering on the doorstep community, also do not overlook the subject property.

This property is located in one of the highest points in Cheshire and is also one of the high points of my career! I would love to show you round both in day and night time so that you can learn for yourselves what an exceptional buying opportunity this is.
