With over 2,500 square feet in a splendid Bunbury location

On the tranquil fringes of the beautiful Cheshire village of Bunbury, tucked off a quiet country lane, discover a home with the ‘Goldilocks’ formula, whose peaceful rural setting, well-proportioned rooms and accessibility to the wider world strike a perfect balance.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s a beautiful, quiet location; there’s no better road in the village.”

Picturesque setting
With woodland views to the front, arrive to a chorus of birdsong, pulling onto the attractively block paved driveway, where there is plenty of parking for five cars alongside a garage and an EVC point.

Gravel borders with mature planting edge the good-sized front lawn, with the garage doors and windowsills painted in enduringly appealing shades of Chartwell Green, Winston Churchill’s preferred choice for his garden furniture.

Bringing the outdoors in
Indoors, this motif of spring green continues, with the oak front door opening to a tranquil entrance hall, where Farrow & Ball’s calm, muted lichen dresses the lower walls and architraves, complemented by the rustic Umbrian Limestone flagstone tiles underfoot.

OWNER QUOTE: “People look at the front and don’t guess at the scale and depth of the home.”

Heavy oak doors, all replaced from the original doors, feature throughout the home, whilst brick-built walls keep sound transfer to a minimum, ensuring the home retains a tranquil ambience throughout.

Ahead, the Jaipur flooring flows through into the cloakroom, where a heated chrome towel radiator features alongside a large wash basin and WC.

Room for all
Move through into the large lounge, where engineered hardwood flooring features underfoot and there is ample space for a baby grand piano and a sizable L-shaped sofa. Blending classic and contemporary, a slate hearth houses a log-burning stove, with a media wall above, containing space for a television and soundbar, with alcoves for log storage to either side.

Magical in the winter months, the log-burning stove issues abundant warmth to fill the downstairs rooms, whilst the bay window to the front draws in plenty of sunlight, framing views out over the trees and fields to the front.

Off the lounge, discover a handy walk-in coat room, with hanging space for coats and shelving for shoes and accessories.

Storage heaven
From the entrance hall, the second door on the right opens to the master suite, a gloriously light-filled enclave of Belmont, where French doors provide direct access out to the sunny terrace to the rear.

Entering into the dressing room, a wealth of fitted wardrobes provides plenty of hanging and drawer storage, with a built-in seat, and separate dressing table. Herringbone flooring features underfoot.

Luxurious details
Continue through to the sizeable master bedroom, where panelling to the feature wall is richly toned, evocative of a boutique hotel, to create the optimum ambience for bedtimes.

Adding sophisticated luxury, the double ended bath with its brass wall-mounted tap and showerhead attachment, features within the bedroom, whilst the ensuite, warmed by underfloor heating, opens up from here, furnished with walk-in shower, WC and vanity unit wash basin, and leading to a walk-in wardrobe offering yet more storage.

Across the entrance hall, sunlight streams into the opened-up kitchen-dining-living space, where limestone flooring flows and country-contemporary, handmade cabinetry, with solid oak tongue and groove drawers features. All painted in Farrow & Ball’s fresh yet soft Vert de Terre creating a seamless connection with the greenery outside.

Feast your eyes
Spacious and sociable, gather at the granite-topped central island, where there is ample breakfast bar seating for the family. The heart of the home, the kitchen is well-stocked with an array of fitted appliances including two Neff ovens, a Neff microwave, Neff steam oven and induction hob.

Currently also housing a wine fridge beneath the island, double doors open to the private garden, where a large patio is ideal for al fresco dining in the summer months. Enjoy barbecues with family and friends, soaking up the late evening sun in this west-facing garden.

Wine and dine
Opening up to provide space for formal dining, again with access via French doors to the garden, and relaxation in the snug, gather around the log-burning stove within its stone surround, or take a pew on the window seat, admiring the leafy vistas to the front, bathed in sunlight in the mornings.

Tucked off the kitchen, the utility room offers pantry shelving storage, with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer and space for an American style fridge-freezer, and also provides easy access out to the garden.

A second cushioned window seat invites views out over the garden to the front, as you make your way up the hand painted, open-tread staircase which ascends to the first floor landing.

And so to bed
Light, bright and with its high, vaulted ceiling, the airy second bedroom awaits on the left. With storage in the eaves, this spacious double bedroom also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe.

Next door, enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub in the main family bathroom, also furnished with overhead shower, wash basin and WC and with ample, bespoke fitted storage.

Currently serving as a study, bedroom three awaits, benefitting from storage in the eaves and could happily accommodate a double bed.

To the rear, a high angled ceiling features in the fourth bedroom, currently housing a single bed and with clever fitted drawer storage within one wall. Peaceful views extend over the garden and greenery to the front.

Outdoor oasis
Accessible from the kitchen and dining rooms, the well-designed garden, extending out over two verdant levels, serves as an extension to the indoor living space.

West facing, savour the warm evening sun on the patio and decking, ideal for entertaining.

In spring, a large cherry blossom tree bursts into bloom, filling the garden with delicate colour, softening the fringe of greenery from the mature bushes and trees that provide privacy to the rear.

With a large summerhouse currently in situ, there is ample scope to install a garden room or office pod. Combining practicality and natural beauty, the garden at Belmont is a perfect outdoor retreat.
