DESCRIPTION

Overton Edge occupies a lovely rural location in South Cheshire well away from busy main roads, rail lines and flight paths, a short distance from a village community. The property was originally a traditional farm building to the neighbouring house, and was converted to provide a large property with ancillary accommodation. The building has since been sub-divided by the present owners, and Overton Edge now comprises a spacious 5 bedroomed home, being the largest of three dwellings which will make up the entire building. The property enjoys plenty of privacy and its own gardens at the rear with plenty of parking and further lawn at the front.

The accommodation is well proportioned and ideally suited to family living as well as anyone wishing to downsize from a larger property but who still requires plenty of space for extended family. With the availability of more land, the property could also suit those wishing to keep a horse. The house is served with a Biomass heating system and has underfloor heating to the majority of the ground floor rooms and master bedroom. Off a large reception hall with impressive staircase there are two reception rooms being a formal lounge with fireplace and French door to the rear garden, and a cinema room. There is also a useful cloakroom with storage and separate W.C.

The main day to day living space is a fantastic open plan kitchen with dining are seating areas. The kitchen incorporates a superbly fitted range of high quality floor and wall cupboards with pair of islands with further storage beneath quartz work surfaces, one having a LPG hob and hot water tap, the other a sink with mixer. There is a pair of wall mounted electric ovens and warming drawer, full height fridge/freezer, and integral dishwasher. The kitchen also has a set of bifolds which open directly to the tiled, south west facing terrace. Beyond the kitchen is a useful study which overlooks the front garden.

At first floor level the accommodation is as comprehensive with five double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and either fitted wardrobes or plenty of space for such, and four bathrooms three of which are en-suite. The majority of the bedrooms have attractive open aspects across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a long drive over which it has the benefit of a right of way, and thence through a timber five bar gate to a gravelled parking area beneath the north front. Beside the drive is a lawn and timber post and rail fence sub-dividing the property from the attached barn and neighbouring land. The car port provides useful undercover storage, and behind which is a timber shed which accommodates the Biomass system incorporating the boiler, water cylinder and pellet hopper. The additional pasture adjoins the drive and can be seen directly from Overton Edge.

To the rear of the barn is a large tiled terrace which provides a fantastic outdoor entertaining area and being south west facing it enjoys plenty of natural light throughout the day. The terrace has a timber fence surround and it extends to a lawn.
