DESCRIPTION

45 Gortsons Lane is situated on the edge of Little Neston, occupying a peaceful setting off a quiet privately owned lane. Being slightly elevated, the house benefits from spectacular south westerly views across the Dee Estuary to the Welsh Hills, and, to the front, across farmland.

The building dates from 1960’s but in recent years has been subject of a comprehensive scheme of extension, reconfiguration and general upgrading, both to the house itself and also the grounds which have been re-landscaped. The house now provides spacious and highly adaptable accommodation arranged over three floors, and superbly appointed throughout and ideally suited for family living as well as those seeking to downsize from a larger property to retain a semi-rural environment on the edge of a village and close to local services.

Off a spacious reception hall with turned staircase to galleried landing are all ground floor rooms. The open plan kitchen with seating and dining areas provides s fantastic everyday living space, including sliding doors opening out to the wide flagged terrace. There is a range of quality wall and floor units incorporating plenty of storage, integrated Bosch appliances to include double oven, microwave and warming drawer, fridge and freezer. Off the kitchen is a useful utility with boiler, and a recent addition is the flights of stairs to serve the lower ground floor which also has independent external access and includes a lounge, bar area and shower room. The remainder of the ground floor comprises a further snug, shower room and integral garage which has electric up and over door and also houses the pressurised cylinder tank.

At first floor level there are four spacious double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes or, in the case of the master bedroom, which overlooks farmland at the front, a large dressing room with plenty of wardrobe space, and an en-suite shower room. The three other bedrooms benefit from views across the estuary and there is also a fifth bedroom or study and fully fitted family bathroom with separate shower.
