A dreamy home being an exemplary marriage of old and new tucked out of the away along on a country lane, quietly revealing itself to offer versatility and an abundance of charm and character. The 0.14-acre gardens form an integral part of the overall experience, and a viewing is highly recommended.

General Remarks - Comment by Mark Johnson FRICS @ Baker Wynne and Wilson

Situated off one of Cheshire’s most coveted country lanes, Avondale is a delightful cottage which is a harmonious equilibrium established between the extended period architecture and its agrarian surroundings.

The beautiful gardens feel completely integrated into the design of the house, ensuring outside spaces are enjoyed as much as the characterful interior.

At the rear and to the side are terraces being the place for coffees, long alfresco lunches, and evening sundowners. Set amidst a diversity of local wildlife and birds, adjoining an open vista with captivating and uninterrupted views across the pastoral landscape. Beyond the terrace is an expanse of lawn, interspersed with colour, flower beds, and more secluded spots to rest, sit and mull.

Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Cheshire countryside at Avondale, where you can quickly travel or walk to Rose Farm to pick up your locally grown items together with access to the post office, delicatessen, butchers, off-licence, cafe, garden centre and enjoy a strong emphasis on customer service.

Discover Utkinton as somewhere truly special with its many idyllic peaceful walks, perfect for those with canine companions, exploring around the scenic elevated village which perfectly links with the nearby Forest at Delamere and its additional running routes and cycle paths.

Accessibility is at the heart of the Village, located within about a 1.5-mile drive of the historic Tarporley village, boasting several acclaimed pubs and restaurants – why not dine out on traditional pub fayre at the Swan or the the Rising Sun, whilst being able to enjoy several coffee shops and boutique shops also available within the thriving Georgian High Street. The nearby Fishpool Inn and the Alvanley Arms pub are also renowned for fantastic food. From Utkinton you are only 8.6 miles from the historic City of Chester where you will find the Roman Walls and archaeological sites of historic interest.
