Property description

A stunning, individual and unique detached two storey house constructed to a high, exacting and individual specification, set in mature landscaped grounds extending to just over 1 acre. Tree flanked driveway approach, two double garages, outstanding village location and extensive family accommodation extending in total to 5, 500sqft.

Offered to the market for the first time since its construction 14 years ago, Camellias is an outstanding two storey detached dwelling nestled in a peaceful and secluded location yet only minutes walk from the centre of Kelsall village.
The house was designed and built by the present owner 14 years ago and now provides a truly remarkable house that is set in some of the finest, mature and most beautifully stocked gardens in the whole of the north west of England. Internally the accommodation is particularly large and spacious and offers tremendous versatility. The accommodation opens with an entrance hall that measures 30' x 15' from which access can be gained to the living room, dining room and inner hall. The remaining reception space is provided via a large open plan farmhouse style kitchen with aga, separate family room and recently constructed conservatory designed and built by Northwich Glass and extending in size to 22'3' x 20'5'. The rear porch and utility room lead to the integral garages. At ground floor level is a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, second bathroom with door to en-suite/family bathroom and a third bedroom/office. At first floor level there are two further areas - a master suite with dressing room, en-suite in bedroom area and another bedroom with en-suite facility.

The attention to detail is in evidence throughout with many high quality fitments including an aga in the kitchen, majority UPVC double glazing and solid walnut doors throughout. There is in addition a very useful and large cellar running underneath the main accommodation.
The spectacular internal accommodation is more than matched by the remarkable gardens and grounds. Camellias is approached by a beautiful blossom tree flanked driveway that widens and sweeps round to form the perfect approach to the main house. The gardens as a whole are stocked with an abundance of flowering plants and herbaceous borders and is split into different areas that maximise beauty and burst with colour. In addition to many expanses of well tended lawn there is also a courtyard area, pond and waterfall feature.

Kelsall is an extremely popular semi rural Cheshire village that combines day to day convenience with a superb position amidst some of Cheshire's most picturesque countryside. For those with educational needs, Kelsall has a well regarded primary school which in turn feeds into the nearby Tarporley High School. Within the village there is a large Co-Operative convenience store with internal Post Office/Bureau De Change, a renowned butcher, further shops and an Italian Restaurant. More over there is a recently extended and refurbished community hall, three public houses and a well attended local church. There is also a doctors' surgery within walking distance of the house. Kelsall holds a convenient position, close to both the Georgian village of Tarporley and the thriving city centre of Chester. It is an ideal base for the commuter with many commercial centres being easily reached including Chester, Manchester, Warrington and Liverpool. Crewe railway station, Manchester and Liverpool International Airports can also be reached within a 40-45 minute drive.

Exterior


Camellias is approached via brick pillared double width electronically operated gates that secure a beautiful lawn and hedge flanked tarmacadam driveway that has external lighting and beautiful blossom trees to its full extent. The driveway widens and splits in two directions. Proceeding in a northerly direction up the driveway over a small area of cobbled sets is the front driveway area abundantly stocked with a beautiful range of mature plants and rock borders and has at its far end a pond with waterfall feature over. There is a further area of paving that leads directly to the conservatory. From the front area of drive access can be gained to the entrance hall via the open fronted storm porch.
In an easterly direction off the main area of driveway is a further continuation of the drive that enjoys a magnificent tiered flower wall that boasts an abundance of colours and variety of specimens. A circular in and out driveway with central lawn area leads to the two double garages. Again the driveway area is beautifully flanked by an abundance of flowering herbaceous borders. A coloured pergola leads to a cobbled set area that in turn enjoys a lovely aspect over a pond with central water feature. Adjacent to the pond is an area of timber decking providing ample space for outdoor furniture. The remaining areas of garden to the side and rear of the property are mainly laid to lawn and have within them a wonderful array of stocked beds.

The enclosed walled courtyard area provides a very attractive and private external space ideal for outdoor furniture. Tiered steps and vegetable patch lead up to the greenhouse 20' x 8'.
In total the property is noticeable for its superb levels of seclusion and privacy and approximately one acre of grounds provide the perfect backdrop to this most individual, attractive and unique family home.
