Property description

DESCRIPTION Standing in a secluded valley with discreet access, Ravenslodge Farm offers a large detached house, out-buildings and around 15 acres of land with pond, paddock and pastures around 3 miles from the market town of Frodsham and only about half a mile from the edge of Delamere Forest.



Screened from the private lane, the right hand fork of the driveway leads to a parking and turning area in front of the house, whilst the left hand fork leads to the out-building and fields beyond.



The original late Victorian farmhouse was significantly extended and a large conservatory was added to create a spacious family home. Now in need of up-dating, it offers the basis for the buyer to apply their own choice of fittings and finishes to make this wonderful home their own.



 

LOCATION Kingswood is an attractive hilltop hamlet with a number of large and distinctive homes and lies between Frodsham and Delamere Forest with some outstanding views across the Cheshire Plain. Close to Kingsley village, with primary schooling and everyday amenities, Ravenslodge Farm is accessed from Waterloo Lane via a private lane serving the farm and adjacent fields. The picturesque town of Frodsham offers a wide range of shops, restaurants and a weekly market. 

DIRECTIONS From Frodsham take the B5152 Kingsley Road and on approaching Kingsley on the B5152 continue to the crossroads of Middle Lane/Meeting House Lane and Kingsley Road/Norley Road and turn right into Meeting House Lane and immediately left into Waterloo Lane. Continue for approximately half a mile and turn right beyond some white cottages into the private lane (Finney Lane) and drive for approximately 0.2 miles when the driveway to Ravenslodge Farm will be found on the left hand side. Going down the drive, take the right hand fork to the parking and turning area in front of the house.



From the direction of Norley on the B5152, go past the turning into Kingsley at Top Road, continuing on the B5152 down the hill and rising up the other side take the first left hand turn (opposite Dark Lane) and continue to the crossroads at Waterloo Lane and then cross over into the private lane leading to Ravenslodge Farm, turning left into the drive.
