Property description

NO CHAIN

A FABULOUS FORMER BARN, which has been tastefully converted to make an attractive detached home, located in the sought after SEMI-RURAL AREA OF ASTBURY but just a short drive away from Congleton.

A particular delight of this home is the large garden, which is approximately a THIRD OF AN ACRE (tbc) and also to savour a spectacular rural view from the gable end balcony across the garden towards Bosley Cloud in one direction and Mow Cop to the other.

The attractively decorated accommodation has timber framed sealed unit double glazing and gas fired central heating, with the front door leading into the central dining hall with oak floors doors and exposed beams, being overlooked by a galleried landing. Access from one side of the hallway is the living room having an inglenook fireplace with cast iron wood burning stove and to the other side of the hallway is the large well equipped farmhouse style breakfast kitchen. At first floor level the galleried landing gives access to two double bedrooms, one of which opens onto a balcony having steps leading down to the patio area. To complete the first floor accommodation is a family bathroom and separate w.c.

Outside the property is enclosed by fencing and hedging being mainly laid to lawn with long sweeping driveway terminating at the property. To the front there is a large flagged patio area extending to the side, having been made into a private alfresco dining area. To complete the accommodation, there is a large timber and glazed summerhouse tucked in the corner of the front lawned garden.

Viewing is recommended to appreciate this contemporary, but traditional, dwelling.
