5 bedroom detached house for sale

What an opportunity to acquire a fabulous, detached property in Mickle Trafford! It’s difficult to appreciate just how much accommodation is on offer from the front of this home. Boasting five bedrooms and four reception rooms, as well as a separate office to the ground floor, two bathrooms and a WC, this is the ideal family home if you are looking for space and a home that gives you great flexibility! Combine that with a location which is close to just about everything in and around Chester, including desirable schools, plus the fantastic private garden, you’ll find those important boxes are definitely ticked!

 Walking through the entrance door, you are greeted with a spacious entrance hall that is flooded with natural light thanks to the glazed door and feature windows to the front. Internal doors then lead you into the lounge, utility room, WC, games room and kitchen, with a staircase rising to the first floor. The lounge is a great size, with front and side facing windows, with fabulous features including wood block flooring and an inset woodburning stove, whilst a door leads you into the dining area beyond.  This room is also a great size, boasting a stained glass window, with plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs, plus French doors then take you into the conservatory, which is the ideal place to sit back and relax while taking in the views over the rear garden. Turning to the kitchen, fitted with modern base and wall units with granite work tops, you are presented with plenty of storage space as well as preparation space, while the breakfast bar is perfect for social times when you have family or friends wishing to join you!  The utility room and WC are both accessed off the hallway, with the utility room providing space for your washing machine and dryer, with additional cupboards for extra storage.  For those who aspire for a games room, we have you covered, with a room to the rear which takes a pool table with ease, and for those who wish to use the room as a separate sitting area, French doors mean you can gain access to the outside with ease.  Leading off this room is a private office space, which is perfect for all those who work from home.

 The first floor has a large landing, with doors that lead you to the five bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom is spacious in size, enjoying a dual aspect with both forward and rear facing windows, ensuring the room is flooded with natural light.  There is also a cleverly concealed dressing area, hidden within the wall of wardrobe doors, and a lovely ensuite which benefits from both a shower, as well as a bath.  There are four remaining bedrooms, two of which are much larger than the typical double bedrooms and all catered for with the large family bathroom. The bathroom offers a walk in shower plus a bath, WC and washbasin, all complemented with attractive tiling. The loft area has been boarded and carpeted, with power and lighting, offering significant additional storage and potential.

 Turning to the outside, this pretty property is set back on this private road, which is shared with just three other households. You will find ample off-road parking with a driveway to the front, as well as additional parking opposite the front garden area. The property also benefits from an integral EV car charging point, with a ring security system including a driveway camera and floodlight. The garage has been turned into a useful storeroom but could very easily be reverted back into a garage if you wished. To the rear is a generous garden, enclosed with panelled fencing, trees and hedging and laid mainly to lawn, plus a beautiful feature pond stocked with fish. The large patio area is an ideal spot to enjoy those summer evenings when you have friends and family around.  This really is an opportunity not to be missed, and the best way to appreciate the sheer size of this property is by taking a look!

The Seller's View

We have thoroughly enjoyed living in this this lovely little village for eight years and are sad to move on but with the kids leaving home it's time to downsize. Things we love: walking with public footpaths in every direction and a choice of three pubs within a mile. The peace, safety and privacy of Grindley Bank, a short private road with no through traffic and only four properties. Our neighbours form the basis of the wider Mickle Trafford community that includes a Village Hall and Post Office. Our gardens and fishpond: the sun starts at the front and gradually makes its way round to the back in time for long lazy summer afternoons listening to the waterfall in the pond. From a practical perspective we are one mile from the Motorway Network and within easy reach of the Doubletree Hilton with its Spa and Gym facilities. Chester City Centre and racecourse is a short drive or easy bus ride away and of course Chester Zoo is also conveniently located to keep the kids happy.
