A stylish barn conversion within the picturesque Somerford Hall Estate, featuring over 1,450 sq ft of high-specification living space, a South-facing garden and separate garage
A beautifully presented barn conversion with South-facing Garden, situated within the idyllic Somerford Hall Estate.
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque estate, renowned for its Olympic-standard equestrian facilities, this property offers over 1500 sq feet of high specification living accommodation, a separate garage, South-facing walled garden and far-reaching views over the Cheshire countryside.
Approached via a private, one-mile driveway that winds through agricultural fields and paddocks, the journey is one of serenity and natural beauty. Upon arrival, a charming brick archway leads into a courtyard setting, home to a select collection of just eight luxury properties. This property, known as the Gatehouse, enjoys a prime position - South-facing for day-long Sun and with a host of original architectural features, including the archway itself.
The property comes with two allocated parking spaces, alongside a large single garage, offering further storage or utility space. There is an additional visitor parking area in the space behind the garages.
Internally, The Gatehouse is a tasteful blend of old and new, with a well-designed layout that maximises light and space. A welcoming entrance hallway, featuring engineered oak flooring and under-stair storage, leads to the main living spaces. The elegant sitting room, running the full length of the property, offers an inviting space to relax, with an ornamental fireplace and views over the garden. The separate study, with the same garden aspect, provides an ideal space for working from home, or is easily reconfigured as a snug.
The spacious kitchen/dining area is thoughtfully designed with high-quality appliances, and ample space for informal dining. Adjoining the kitchen, a practical utility room ensures convenience and functionality. The principal reception rooms open onto the South-facing patio, ideal for al fresco dining and enjoying the afternoon sun, while offering sweeping views over the well-maintained walled garden.
The first floor features a galleried landing leading to three generously proportioned double bedrooms. The master suite is a true highlight, offering a spacious dressing area, a contemporary en suite shower room, and a bedroom section that extends over the central courtyard archway, with curved arch windows providing views of the estate. Two further double bedrooms share a family bathroom, completing the accommodation.
Externally, the property enjoys a beautifully landscaped rear garden, private and enclosed by a wall and mature hedging. The garden, with its level lawn and deep flower borders, enjoys a southerly aspect and is perfectly positioned to capture the best of the sun throughout the day. A raised terrace provides a delightful setting for outdoor entertaining, with picturesque views over the Somerford Hall Estate and the neighbouring Somerford Park, a renowned equestrian centre. The property's peaceful surroundings are further enhanced by occasional visits from the resident horses and sheep from the nearby fields.
The Gatehouse is also connected to BT Full Fibre Broadband, ensuring modern connectivity in this idyllic countryside location.
