Old Chester Road, Helsby

A detached character cottage, thought to be well over 200 years old, offering superbly presented, spacious and versatile family accommodation with large rear garden, in a sought after area of Helsby, convenient for local schools

The property is packed with period character features and has a layout that is both versatile and spacious.

It has been a great family home for the past 18 years during which time the owners have continued to invest in the house. Works have been completed to maintain and improve the fabric of the building including new rendering, an extension has been added to the rear and internal layout modifications have also been carried out. The result is a home retaining warm cottage character and charm with an accommodation layout that is ideal for modern family living.

At ground floor level, the room layout has, at its heart, an open plan kitchen/dining room. This is a space for social family life with a range of custom-built hand painted units with oak worktops. There are three further separate ground floor living rooms - a cozy lounge, study and a larger living room - giving privacy and flexibility. There is also ground floor bedroom, bathroom, rear hall and utility room. This creates scope for the easy creation of an annexe suited to multi-generational living or for extended family occupation.

The first floor can be approached from two separate staircases. A spiral staircase gives access to the main bedroom making this a private space featuring a lofty high vaulted ceiling. A door connects to one of the other bedrooms making this ideal for use as a nursery or dressing room. This then leads to two further bedrooms one having a useful mezzanine area. The family bathroom is superb and has a Victorian style suite with roll top bath and separate shower.

There are double glazed windows and a gas fired central heating system is installed.

Mature gardens frame the house to the front whilst a large rear garden is an excellent space for leisure and pleasure. An enormous, paved terrace immediately to the rear of the house provides space for outdoor dining and entertaining in all weathers featuring a covered pergola and a gin bar. There is a large lawn and garden shed plus plenty of parking space.
