agents comments:
Enjoying a very accessible countryside location between the city of Chester and character village of Tarporley, with rear views towards the hills of Kelsall and Eddisbury, Brooklea comprises a detached house with self contained annexe together with outbuildings and adjacent paddock land measuring up to 4.5 acres.
The house stands well back in sizeable garden grounds and is approached via a long driveway with the paddock land adjoining both the side and rear boundaries. Ample parking space is available for concealing horse boxes, caravans etc with additional potential. Whilst proven as a good family home for many years, the combination of position, geographical location and plot size, allows clear scope for future investment.
The house and annexe currently comprise: Entrance hall; cloakroom/wc; lounge; sitting room; rear family room; large dining room with open access through to kitchen; gallery landing; three bedrooms; bathroom/wc furnished with a five piece white suite. Purpose built Independent annexe, also having access from the lounge, comprising: Hallway; living room/kitchen; bedroom with en-suite washroom/wc; large shower room/wc with wide doors and flat shower base.
Whilst the annexe is ideally suited to the live-in extended family it also provides an excellent suite for guests [paying or none paying], teenagers or family members working from home.
To the rear of the garage there is a central heating boiler room and store. Outbuildings are available to suit a variety of needs, although require some updating.
Early access can be made available if a swift purchase is required.
Vendors comments:
Brooklea really has been a good family home, it has housed different generations remarkably well, parents, children and grandchildren.
The arrangment of rooms means that the house can be full of people without being crowded allowing family members to each find their own space. Over the years the outbuildings and grounds have been home to sheep, pigs, chickens and geese. Young children love the adventure of it all and the older children like the accessibility to the larger villages, towns and cities.
The rear country hillside views provide a relaxing backcloth and visits from birds and wildlife are plentiful. The ability to park and manourvre vans, caravans, trailers etc is practically limitless, additional hardstanding can be created if required.
There is plenty of privacy without isolation. We have found great advantage in the close proximity of Tarporley and Chester, also the motorway network and the ease of access to the Wesh coast, Wirral, Liverpool and Manchester.
Altogether, Brooklea is an excellent environment for raising a growing family. We hope that a fresh family will now gain much pleasure from updating it and personalising it to suit their own way of life.
