Moston Road, Ettiley Heath, Sandbach

Sat in a 0.6 acre plot and with the original part of the house dating back to 1640, this home is affectionately known by the current owners as 'the entrance to Narnia' and it certainly feels like that upon initial inspection with expansive gardens on all sides of the property, numerous outbuildings including a separate ex-dairy barn/shippon and wood store, plus the home itself having been extended and enlarged numerous times over its lifetime!
Offering very flexible accommodation that can be made to suit all kinds of needs, this home boasts five large bedrooms, three separate reception rooms, plus a farmhouse-style kitchen and separate utility room, you will not find yourself wanting for more living space!
Despite being updated and modernised in places the property still retains a wealth of its original character including exposed original beams made from the timbers of a ship, some wattle and daub internal walls, and a large log burner in the main lounge with exposed brick surround.

This property must be viewed to appreciate the size of accommodation and land on offer plus to understand the possibilities for further development!

The two parts of the building are connected on the first floor via a huge room which can easily double as a spare bedroom if required or makes excellent use as a home office, playroom, or third lounge space. Once through this room you will find yourself in the newer part of the property in a bright and open landing with access off to a further three spacious Bedrooms and a modern three-piece suite Shower Room including a vertical heated towel rail and tiled splash backs.

External Space - Accessed via a private driveway leading off Moston Road in Ettiley Heath, this home impresses upon initial sight with extensive gardens coming into view around the property the closer you drive up to the house, to be expected with over a half-acre plot! On your left you will see a detached double garage alongside which is a large freestanding Greenhouse. To your right there is a wall and gate leading to the front door and further gardens with a superbly private outlook thanks to the many trees surrounding this plot and ensuring a feeling of total privacy from the outside world. The gardens encircle the property completly, however to the rear of the property and accessed via gates to keep it separate from the gardens is a huge south-facing courtyard area which offers a superb seating and/or entertaining space and is flanked by four loose boxes and a sow pen which although currently used for storage enjoy power and lighting and could be converted to make additional accommodation. If that wasn't enough on the west side of the courtyard there is a 40ft and two storey shippon/barn again with power and lighting which is currently used for storage but could also make a superb development opportunity. In addition to all this space and storage there is also a separate wood store, and dog kennel. More than enough to keep your mind busy with what to do with all this space!
