Property info
Property description
Offered to the market with no ongoing chain, Peac Barn, Peckforton forms part of a beautiful and select development of just nine individual barn conversions. The rareness of the opportunity to purchase in such a wonderful location cannot be understated and the painstaking restoration work of P.J. Allison in 2002 becomes clearly evident upon internal inspection.
The Peac Barn enjoys a particularly attractive position, being an end unit and enjoying a superb corner plot with southerly aspect. Internally an outstanding combination of contemporary quality with traditional features is showcased by spacious rooms and versatile layout. The array of features most noticeable are high quality fitments to both the breakfast kitchen and all bath/shower rooms and the tremendous array of natural high grade building materials and features incorporating flag stone floors, oak framed openings, exposed brickwork, vaulted ceiling and exposed appex beams/purlins.
At ground floor level is a large entrance hall, cloaks cupboard with cloakroom off, separate dining room and open plan breakfast kitchen with views over the garden. There is also a separate utility area off the breakfast kitchen. Off the breakfast kitchen is a very spacious inner lobby. The inner lobby leads to two spacious and well proportioned rooms that are both currently utilised as bedrooms and are served by a separate very well appointed family bathroom. Depending on individual requirements, these rooms can be adapted to suit individual purposes and could also be excellent entertaining rooms or further study areas.
At first floor accommodation the focal point of the accommodation can be found. The principal living room is a truly superb and memorable living space that can only be fully appreciated upon internal inspection. The height of the room is in itself remarkable and the floor to ceiling chimney breast, exposed appex beam, large windows and multi fuel burning stove only add to the ambience and appeal. Access from the living room is a further range of versatile living space. There is a small room suitable for either additional storage, study or reading room whilst the master bedroom is fittingly impressive. In addition to a very spacious bedroom area there is a well appointed dressing room and a comprehensively fitted en-suite shower room.
Crowning the building, accessed via a paddle staircase is a useful study/studio room that enjoys a galleried aspect over the living room. Again, this area can be utilised in a number of different ways, though the current owners have used it as a purpose built study/home office.
Matching the impressive interior is a particularly appealing external arrangement. The Peac Barn benefits from a significant amount of off road parking via a cobbled set to the front and a gravelled/paved driveway via a five barn gate that leads to the detached double garage. In all there is parking for six vehicles with additional parking available in the garage. The detached double garage has extensive eaves storage and an area round the back where the oil tank is found. The gardens are 'L' shaped and have been landscaped and designed to an exacting standard and specification. The gardens are split into different areas including an expanse of lawn, cottage style garden, cobbled set and seating areas and provides in total a very large, yet low maintenance, external space that is noticeable for its closure via beautiful brick walling and its very high levels of seclusion and privacy. In addition in the sunny months the garden benefits from excellent amounts of sunlight at peak times of the day.
Peckforton is renowned for its castle, rural location, open countryside and attractive walks. This ruralness belies its convenient position for commuting to many commercial centres including Chester and Manchester. Peckforton also lies close to Bunbury and Tarporley village. The village of Bunbury is approximately 2.5 miles away with its own general store, butcher, farm store, two public houses and a beautiful church which dates back over 1, 000 years. Of particular note is Bunbury Primary School that enjoys an excellent reputation for academic excellence. Tarporley is one of Cheshire's most highly regarded villages that boasts a bustling High Street with a diverse selection of shops including convenience stores, fashion boutiques, cafes, restaurants and public houses. The village is also renowned for its excellent educational facilities with both a Primary and High School. The village also has its own community centre, doctors and dentist surgery. The property also offers an excellent base for the business traveller with the A49, A51 and A55 quickly reached by car and main rail links to London can be found in Crewe approximately 12 miles away.
