Green Lake LaneAldford, Chester, Cheshire, CH3 6HW

Occupying a prime position in the very heart of the sought-after village of Aldford, this stylish and spacious family home offers over 4000 sq ft of versatile accommodation, outbuildings, garage and a fabulous wraparound garden.

Originally constructed in 1870 and substantially modernised in 2017, the property perfectly balances new and old, with charming original features complemented by modern luxuries creating a characterful yet practical home.

The property is accessed via a private gated driveway, providing access to the garage, turning point and parking space for numerous vehicles. There are two access points into the house from the driveway; via a pedestrian gate to the grand original front door, or through a side entrance into the rear hall - the latter probably the more practical entrance point with the main parking area adjacent, and a large cloak/boot room upon entry.

The ground floor offers wonderfully versatile living space, with four separate reception rooms, plus conservatory, in addition to the kitchen/diner. Practical for upkeep with either original tiled flooring or stylish wood-effect LVT, all rooms are easily configurable to a tenant's needs, with options including lounge, playroom, snug, dining room or study. The spacious Southerly reception room is a particular highlight; duel aspect with access into the adjacent conservatory, it's an excellent living and entertaining space, spilling out onto the West facing garden for evening Sun. Three of the rooms also boast either open fires or log burning stoves, for cosy living on those colder evenings.

Elsewhere on this level, the kitchen is stylish and spacious, with Shaker-style units, long breakfast bar and space for Range cooker and American style fridge-freezer. The neighbouring utility room is unusually large, well-equipped with sink, a range of wall and floor units, spaces for washing machine and tumble dryer, plus access into a ground floor shower room. There is practical storage space throughout the house, including under-stair cupboard, side store room and a spacious cellar.

Upstairs are five bedrooms - all comfortably able to accommodate a double bed. The principle bedroom is the most spacious, also benefitting from a truly impressive en suite bathroom with separate shower cubicle. Bedroom two has an en suite shower room, while bedrooms 3, 4 and 5 share the newly installed family bathroom with separate shower cubicle. New bedroom carpets have been installed in recent weeks.

Externally, the garden is fabulous. Predominantly West and South facing - perfect for day-long sun - it wraps around three sides of the house. An expansive lawn is ringed by a border of mature shrubs and trees, creating a feeling of seclusion and privacy, despite the village centre location. Raised vegetable patches are ideal for Green-fingered tenants and children looking to grow-their-own food, while hard landscaped areas, including a feature decommissioned Well, provide various outdoor seating options. A large outbuilding offers yet more versatile space - previously used as a Gym, but open to a tenant's imagination.

The property is part of Grosvenor's Eaton estate. It is offered unfurnished, for a long let.
