House For Sale £900,000
Welcome to Barn End, a captivating home with 5 beautiful double bedrooms and exquisite private walled gardens. This location is highly sought after within an exclusive development of just 8 properties that make up a former part of the Grosvenor Estate.
Exposed original timber beams and brickwork peppered throughout the property tell the tale of the 1880s origins of the building, which after being converted into a residence in the 1990s, has undergone a total transformation in the last 2 years into the truly impressive family home that it is today. Every inch of the house has been carefully considered, from the top-specification kitchen to the choice to expose the original elements of the building, perfectly blending the old with the new.
Come on in…
The front door opens to reveal the entrance hallway, with large ceramic tiles that extend throughout the ground floor which are gently warmed by the underfloor heating.
The heart of the home…
Many kitchens are described as the heart of the home, but none embody the sentiment quite like this one. Socialising, whether large parties or just the family on a typical day, has directed the design of this fantastic room. Comfortable sofas are arranged around the fireplace for everyone to gather and catch up.
The kitchen is magnificent. Handpainted wooden cabinets in a soft, muted tone are topped by Caesarstone quartz worktops. The white AGA provides plenty of oven space, and there is a teppanyaki hot plate and induction hob, which includes a surface level extraction system. The large central island has seating for 6 for those quick breakfasts or informal family meals. An excellent housekeeper's larder unit has double doors that open fully and can be closed to keep the space tidy. An integrated dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel fridge drawer, wine chiller and coffee machine ensure all the appliances and gadgets you could wish for in your dream kitchen. No expense has been spared, and any budding chef will fall instantly in love.
The open plan kitchen and living room area opens to an orangery as a lovely dining area for a more formal dining setting. French doors lead out onto the patio, and windows all around give an excellent view of the gardens. Imagine evening dinner parties enjoyed long into the night in this room.
The utility room has a wide variety of kitchen units, hand painted Farrow & Ball colours with space for a large fridge-freezer, washing machine and dryer
Climb the stairs and find a quieter living room on the first floor. An excellent space for enjoying movie nights, which includes a Juliet balcony with French doors offering outstanding views over the garden and golf course beyond.
Bedroom bliss…
The master bedroom is found on the first floor, with built-in wardrobes filling one wall and a fabulous en-suite.
There is a second en-suite bedroom on this floor, which would make a lovely guest room.
On the second floor, we have three further double bedrooms, each with slightly sloping ceilings and fabulous far-reaching views.
The house bathroom can also be found on this floor and is shared by each of the three bedrooms.
Glorious gardens…
This private outdoor space is perfect for entertaining, enclosed by brick walls and softened with hedging and flowerbeds. There are many different seating areas so that you can follow the sun's rays throughout the day. From the patio area, where you can have a dining table and parasol, there is a built-in outdoor fireplace for when the sun goes down and the temperature drops, but you're not ready yet to go indoors.
Around the corner, you will find a deck area with a sunken heated plunge pool and hot tub and space for loungers to relax by the pool. And hidden further still is a herb garden for the green-fingered.
Hidden away at the bottom of the garden is the Gym. A 7 x 4-metre garden room clad in solid oak, with large bi-fold opening doors, dedicated electricity supply, Sky TV, wifi, and air conditioning. Formerly used as a home office, this building has multiple options for use, whether you are looking for a distraction-free space to work from home,somewhere to set up your gym equipment, private space for teenagers maybe, or perhaps a garden bar or even a games room. There is even a private courtyard area at the rear.
Behind the electric gates you will find dedicated parking for three cars within the residents parking area, one of which is under cover. There is alsoa large car park near the entrance to Brookdale Court offering ample parking for visitors.
Out and about…
Eaton Golf Course wraps around the grounds of Barn End, with the first tee at the end of the garden. Perfect if you are a golf lover, but equally a pleasant outlook and peaceful surroundings if golf isn't your thing.
Waverton village is just half a mile away and has local shops, a post office and a chemist. There are local pubs and the Golf Clubhouse for socialising or grabbing a bite. Various larger supermarkets are not far away, including Waitrose and Sainsbury's.
Chester City is just a short drive away, with its culture and heritage; from restaurants, bars, coffee shops and theatre, there is always something to entertain. The train station in Chester has regular routes to the major cities in the North West, and further afield with a direct train into London Euston if you require a commute for work. There are also significant motorways within just a few miles so that travel around the country is no trouble.
If you have children of school age, Waverton village primary is within walking distance of the property and within the catchment of nearby Christleton High School, which has recently won Secondary School of the Year 2023. If your budget can stretch to private education, Abbey Gate College, Kings and Queens Schools are just a short drive away.
