Burwardsley, Chester, Cheshire

Hill Farm is a classic redbrick farmhouse with a paddock and agricultural shed, set in a peaceful rural position just outside the village of Burwardsley. The farmhouse requires modernisation, but represents a significant opportunity for development, along with the barn, subject to the necessary consents.

To the front of the property are steps leading up to a very pretty brick-built porch, through which the classic front door leads to the entrance hall and stairway. Hill Farm has two main reception rooms on the ground floor which are the sitting room and drawing room. Both of which have fireplaces, with the sitting room also benefiting from a log-burner. The kitchen has fitted units to base and wall level, as well as space for the necessary appliances, with further storage available in the pantry. The rear entrance is covered by a glazed porch, and walking under a feature brick archway, the external work room with a former wash copper built into the corner can be accessed to the left, while to the right is the kitchen.

There is space for two vehicles at the side of the property, in front of the metal gate leading to the paddock. The paddock itself is surrounded by peaceful woodland, creating a sense of seclusion and privacy and benefits from an agricultural shed that has the potential to be converted into ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. The front garden has various trees and established shrubs, while beyond there are views to open fields and meadows. The property also has an attached gardeners' W.C., and a store room adjacent to this.

Additionally the renowned Pheasant Inn eatery is a 10 minute walk from the property. The village of Tattenhall just 3 miles away provides a number of further amenities.
