A deceptively spacious detached property with far reaching elevated views and a separate one bedroom cottage.

Description

Hadlow is a superb detached property, finished to a very high standard having originally been constructed by a builder for his own use. The property provides deceptively spacious and versatile accommodation throughout and has far-reaching, elevated views over Cheshire countryside.

A covered storm porch opens into a split-level entrance hall, a large space off which the main reception rooms are accessed.

Double doors from the reception hall open into what is undoubtedly the heart of the house - the open plan kitchen with its adjoining dining and living area. The living area is central and features a simulated log burner. This space adjoins the dining area which has large picture windows overlooking the garden.

Internal bi-folding doors open on to the garden room (these doors could remain open to create an extended dining space if desired). The garden room has a useful under stairs cupboard and a set of bi-folding doors which lead into the rear garden.

The kitchen, designed by Mark Wilkinson, is finished with a range of units and several integrated appliances including a Range cooker with five burner hob. Bi-folding doors open onto the breakfast room which in turn can be accessed from the entrance hall, creating a seamless link throughout the ground floor. Off the kitchen there is a cloakroom and a utility room providing additional storage.

Accessed from the entrance hall is a study, with a window overlooking the the walled courtyard garden to the rear. A large guest bedroom with dressing area and en suite shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor there is a formal drawing room, with a central fireplace and west facing balcony overlooking the rear garden. Beyond is a formal dining area which has fantastic views towards Beeston Castle.

From the dining area an external door opens onto an entertaining balcony, again with wonderful views. This balcony links to the principal bedroom (also accessed from the first floor landing) which is an excellent space, and features an en suite bathroom and separate dressing area.

The second bedroom also has a generous en suite bathroom, and a door leading to a balcony overlooking the rear garden.

The gardens at Hadlow are lovely. There are two separate garden areas, both designed to be low maintenance. The front garden includes a raised seating area, having direct access from the garden room, and also a timber framed summer house. To the rear there is a walled courtyard garden, landscaped with mature raised beds.

A gate opens on to a double width driveway providing parking for a further two cars in addition to the spaces at the front of the property.

Keepers Cottage is an adjacent detached property which the current owners use for guests and relatives. The accommodation comprises a kitchen, sitting room, shower room, large bedroom and a garden room extension. The cottage has its own parking to the front and provides the much sought-after ancillary accommodation so many buyers seek.

Location

Hadlow occupies a lovely position in the village of Clutton, a pretty south Cheshire village. This part of the county is known for its attractive rolling landscape and good access to both the north and south via the A41 linking to the motorway network at Chester. Day to day amenities can be found in Tattenhall (3 miles) and Farndon (3.5 miles).

There are many scenic walks in the area and Carden Park is approximately 1 mile away and offers a variety of fantastic facilities including a hotel, a newly renovated spa and two golf courses.

Schooling is well catered for, with a local primary school in Clutton itself, and Bishop Heber High school ('Outstanding', Ofsted 2014) on the outskirts of Malpas (5.3 miles). Hadlow is well placed to access this and many of the excellent private schools in the region, including King’s and Queen’s schools in Chester, Ellesmere College, Shrewsbury School and Moreton Hall.

The historic city of Chester is 11 miles from the property and provides a comprehensive range of shopping, fine dining and leisure facilities, as well as a direct rail service to London Euston (from 2 hours).
