House For Sale £550,000
Set within the idyllic surroundings of the village of Puddington, The West Threshing Farm offers a unique and romantic piece of escapism rarely equalled within a provincial or rural setting.
The charm and character of this three bedroomed, Grade II listed barn conversion, built around 1750, evokes a feeling of warmth and serenity from the moment you step onto the cobblestone courtyard.
Formerly the threshing barn of the developed farm buildings north of Puddington Old Hall, this picturesque property is something straight out of a Jane Austen novel. It has been sympathetically restored with absolute care, and a meticulous attention to the finest detail. The love and devotion which have gone into the refurbishment of this beautiful home are evident throughout every inch the property. In keeping with the legacy of the surrounding area, The West Threshing Barn pays homage to the former rural activities of the village. Contributing significantly to the history, character and charm of the local area, this property is everything one might desire in a quintessentially English village home.
The spacious courtyard comfortably accommodates several vehicles. Via the hardwood, double glazed barn door, you are welcomed into the bright and spacious hallway. Extra light floods in from the sun-trapped outdoor space via the sturdy, timber framed windows. A carpeted stairway, leads to the first floor and an enclosed storage area helps capitalise on the substantial dimensions of the room. With limestone paved flooring underfoot and cast iron column radiators adding an aesthetic and functional appeal, one is immediately struck by the charming character and ambience which permeates the house and is fundamental to it's own unique personality.
The main living room, running across the full depth of the building, premium quality carpet underfoot, is impressively spacious whilst still maintaining a cosy, intimate feel. It is decorated to a characteristically high standard. The ceilings are surprisingly high for a property of the house's style. The room's centrepiece is undoubtedly the charming inglenook fireplace containing an Aga multi-fuelled log burner, complimented by an eye-catching oak mantle. The original brickwork surrounding the fire, together with an exposed oak beam running across the room's generous width, history embedded into its grain, give an immediate sensation of warmth, comfort and antiquity. Light into the room is provided by dual aspect french doors leading to the block paved patio to the rear; and via the ample windows, to the front aspect which overlooks the courtyard.
The equally spacious kitchen and breakfast area benefits from two double glazed windows overlooking the rear garden and one large window to the front. A continuation of the stunning limestone flooring provides a seamless transition from the hallway. High quality, wooden wall and floor mounted kitchen units characterise the room and provide a abundance of storage space. Premium engineered granite and oak work tops of the highest standard comprise the working areas. The theme of the home continues throughout. A Belfast sink, complete with characteristic traditional taps and a further column radiator keep in with the theme. The kitchen is complete with an integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher and an electric Aga stove.
A utility room leads off from the kitchen, containing a separate sink unit and cupboard storage, plumbing for laundry facilities and a pantry which houses the LPG gas boiler. The distinctive and traditional features of the property are equally apparent within. A stable door provides access to the rear garden.
As we ascend the upper level of the property, immediately struck by the high vaulted ceilings, we reach the spacious landing. Comfortably accommodating items of decorative furniture, original exposed beams are emphasised by an abundance of natural light, which washes in both from Velux windows in the roof and from the traditional feature slot windows which, whilst in keeping with the property's charm and character also benefit from a discreet, yet modern double-glazed construction.
Three immaculately decorated bedrooms are thematic of the rest of the property. With engineered hardwood flooring throughout and traditional farm house wooden doors connecting, there is not one inch of this home which does not radiate history.
The main bedroom suite is of a strikingly vast size. The distinctive vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and several original character windows on either side add to the ambience and sensation of space therein. The room benefits from a large ensuite bathroom which boasts the standard and quality that one would expect from a property of this character and pedigree.
The second bedroom, a generously sized space, benefits from the same sensation of space and use of natural light as is evident throughout the property. A window overlooking the garden offers a vista of the picturesque village.
The third bedroom, presented to an equally tasteful and standard, offers a cosy retreat from the outside world. The thematic vaulted ceiling and the two traditional feature windows overlooking the courtyard add a vibrance to this room; which would be equally suited as a children's room or a peaceful study.
From the cobblestone courtyard we can access the enclosed rear garden. This traditional English cottage garden gives the feel of low elevation, providing a sense of privacy and intimacy. Sympathetically planted and ornate, this classic, lawned "rose-garden" benefits from mature raised borders, a patio and two wooden summer houses which, with the benefit of mains electricity, are both picturesque and functional. A woodshed provides further storage for the log burner and the area benefits from an outside tap and drainage.
The hamlet of Puddington is an exclusive and sought after area of the Wirral peninsula. Featuring a village green, on which the annual Christmas carol service is held, the area is listed in the doomsday book of 1086. This picture postcard village is situated eight miles from the city of Chester. With strong links to the nearby M56, the area is ideal for commuters and professionals. With a village primary school within walking distance of the property, The West Threshing Barn is the perfect environment in which to raise a family.
Properties of this nature and pedigree are a rare and precious find. The idyllic village lifestyle, the history, which is embedded into the very foundations of the house, and the atmosphere of classical Cheshire country life; provide the future custodians of this unique home a chance to settle, and to establish an enviable lifestyle whilst becoming a part of the alluring and enchanting history of one of the most beautiful and sought after areas in the country.
