DESCRIPTION
The sale of The Croft offers a rare opportunity to acquire a period thatched cottage which is believed to date from the 17th Century and likely to be one of the oldest buildings in the locality. The property has been in the owner’s tenure since the early 1980’s and whilst having been well maintained, would benefit from a scheme of modernisation and/or extension. The Croft is constructed of red Cheshire sandstone under a thatched roof, which has been re-thatched in the Spring of 2024 and is arranged over two floors, having the benefit of oil central heating and a combination of single & double glazing. The property remains many of its original period features with exposed beams & timbers throughout, thick sandstone walls, deep windows sills with beams above and vaulted ceiling at first floor.
LOCATION
The Croft is situated on Green Lane which is a particularly private location with little passing village traffic on the edge of the village and within walking distance off all village amenities. The village is fully serviced catering for everyday needs with several churches, doctor’s surgery, chemist, veterinary practice, Co-op, coffee shop, family butcher, pubs and restaurants including the popular Morris Dancer. The county town of Chester which is 9 miles distant offers a more comprehensive range of services including supermarkets and out of town retail parks including the Outlet Village at Cheshire Oaks.
Schooling in the area is well catered for with a primary school in the village which has an outstanding Ofsted rating complemented by state secondary schools in Tarporley and Christleton. Private schools in the area include the King’s & Queen’s schools in Chester, Abbeygate College at Saighton and The Grange at Hartford. On the recreational front there are numerous clubs nearby offering football, rugby, cricket & hockey and there are tennis courts in the village. There is sailing on the River Dee at Chester and nearby at Manley Mere, golf courses at Oscroft, Delamere and Sandiway, mountain biking in Delamere Forest and extensive walking along the Sandstone Trail. For the equestrian enthusiasts there is polo at Little Budworth and horse racing at the historic Chester Racecourse.
COMMUNICATIONS
The area enjoys excellent road links to all areas of commerce throughout the North West. Beyond Chester access is gained to the M53 and M56 motorways connecting to Liverpool and Manchester which are both within daily travelling distance and served by international airports. Travel to London is available from Chester Station which offers a 2 hour intercity rail service via Crewe to Euston or alternatively from the equidistant Hartford Village Station to the west of Northwich.

A set of steps leads to the rear courtyard which offers space for table & chairs and against which is a deep, raised bed.
