Hollins Hill, Utkinton

Enjoying a glorious and tranquil position within Utkinton village and set in grounds of just over half an acre, a hugely appealing, charming and attractive detached house with large double garage
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

Very occasionally, some houses have an aesthetic appeal that instantly draw you in and speak to the heart. This is a prime example of such. The house is one of great character and stands in a generous size plot of just over half an acre, that being 0.51 a in total. The plot wraps around the house well, providing gardens and grounds of great variety, establishment and privacy. There are also lovely rural views to the front, side and rear. The present owners have lived in the house since 1997 and it has been a much treasured home.

Internally the house offers elegant and characterful accommodation which blends the original heritage of the building with more tasteful modern refinements. Likewise, there is further potential to enhance the accommodation to suit the particular needs of the next owner.

As the floorplan indicates, the accommodation is adaptable and of good proportion. The large open plan kitchen at the back of the house is one of the more recent investments and provides a very good focal point for day to day life.

Externally there is a large double garage with loft room over, ample parking and the aforementioned gardens and grounds, which also include a secure and covered historic well!

This is a really special property and a notably rare buying opportunity. With Tarporley village just five minutes away, this is a location that is semi rural with all the benefits this brings.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office.

Location

Utkinton is a hugely popular village that lies just three miles from the centre of Tarporley. Utkinton enjoys beautiful views from many vantage points and is some of the finest walking territory in the county of Cheshire, linking to Willington aka Little Switzerland and the Kelsall hills. Within the village is Rose Farm Shop which comprises a post office, delicatessen, butchers, off-licence, cafe, garden centre, fitness centre and has a strong emphasis on customer service.

Utkinton is only a short drive away from the Georgian High Street of Tarporley - one of Cheshire's most highly regarded villages that boasts a diverse selection of amenities including a community centre, tennis courts, convenience stores, fashion boutiques, cafes, restaurants, public houses, Doctors / Dentist surgery and three well attended Churches.

The village is also renowned for its excellent educational facilities with Tarporley High School consistently maintaining a strong reputation. Those seeking a wider choice of schools will find ample provision by virtue of the Grange School in Hartford and in Chester with the impressive choice of King's, Queen's and Abbey Gate.

The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside and places of significant interest that include ancient castles, boating facilities on nearby canal and the outstanding Delamere Forest. Wonderful walks are provided via the Whitegate Way and Sandstone Trail. There are many excellent golf clubs within short travelling distance.

Whilst the area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, the house also offers an excellent base for the business traveller. In terms of road links, there are extensive connections to the M56, M6 and M53. The A49, A51 and A55 all link to key areas of commerce and interest.

With regards to railway services, there are stations at nearby Hartford, Cuddington, Frodsham, and Chester. All operate on either the Chester to Manchester or Liverpool to London lines. Fantastic connections can be enjoyed at Crewe railway station, with the service to London taking just over 90 minutes.

Two international airports can be located within 45 minutes drive: Liverpool John Lennon International Airport and Manchester International Airport.
