Lache LaneChester, Cheshire, CH4 7LT

Leyburn, 101 Lache Lane is an attractive period house dating from the mid-1930s and is a much loved family home. The property has been extended by the current owners and the well balanced accommodation is beautifully presented. The front door opens into a spacious reception hallway which has the original parquet floor, stairs leading up to the first floor and an understairs cloaks cupboard. To the right of the hallway is a study with a dual aspect to the front and side and a series of book shelves and built-in cabinets in the alcoves. Following along the hallway is access to a very attractive sitting room which has some really lovely decorative coving, multi-fuel inset stove, mantlepiece and French doors out to the garden. There is also a large window looking to the side of the house so this is a very light and bright room.

The house has been extended at the rear to provide a fantastic open-plan kitchen/family/dining area and this space really is the heart of the house. There is a cosy seating area with a feature living flame gas fire and Amtico flooring which flows through into the kitchen and dining area. The dining area has remote operating Velux roof lights and large picture window so is the perfect spot to enjoy the lovely views of the garden. French doors lead out from the dining area to the patio, extending the entertaining space during the summer. The well-equipped kitchen has a good range of base units, double ovens and integrated combi microwave, a semi-integrated dishwasher, and central granite-topped island with cabinets and storage drawers. The entire area is very bright and is a wonderful, sociable space. The utility room leading off from the kitchen has a range of wall and base units, sink and plumbing for washing machine and exterior door to the side of the house. To the rear of the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and door leading to cloakroom/wc and access to the garage.

On the first floor is a spacious landing around which the bedrooms are arranged and the current owners use this space as a reading/study area. The principal bedroom has French doors and a Juliet balcony with lovely views across the garden. This room has a series of built-in wardrobes, shelves and drawers. Bedroom 2 also has built-in wardrobes and a dual aspect. There are two further bedrooms on this floor and two bath/shower rooms.

To the front of the house is a gravelled driveway with parking for a number of cars. To the rear is a beautiful south-east facing garden which is likely to be one of the largest in the immediate area. Laid to lawn with well-established herbaceous borders and beds, there is also a mini orchard at the far end, all providing colour and contrast throughout the seasons.
There is an integrated garage which is accessed from the front of the property.
