Property description
A unique converted school house located in a very attractive position within the popular semi rural village of Little Budworth. Reception hall in two main sections, 635 sq ft sitting/dining room with vaulted and beamed ceiling, refitted kitchen, refitted ground floor shower room, snug, ground floor fourth bedroom/games room, main staircase leading to the principal bedroom with refitted en-suite shower room, second bedroom and refitted main bathroom, second staircase leading to first floor third and fifth bedroom, and refitted first floor shower room. Outbuildings. Gardens. No chain
With no chain. Formerly the Egerton Estate school building, this early Victorian sandstone residence now forms a unique five bedroom, four bathroom detached house with flexible internal accommodation. Although in good condition throughout, purchasers could adapt and alter the accommodation to suit individual requirements with one obvious option being the conversion of integral garage to form a large open plan kitchen, with the resighting of the garage to elsewhere in the site. These suggested changes would be subject to the neccesary planning consent being obtained.
The features and accommodation of the property comprise: Reception hall in two main sections, 635 sq ft sitting/dining room with vaulted and beamed ceiling, refitted kitchen, refitted ground floor shower room, snug, ground floor fourth bedroom/games room, main staircase leading to the principal bedroom with refitted en-suite shower room, second bedroom and refitted main bathroom, second staircase leading to first floor third and fifth bedroom, and refitted first floor shower room.
Outside, there is a remote controlled gated driveway, ample lawned garden, superb integral double garage with remote controlled doors, separate timber garage, rear utility area, York stone seating area and useful additional brick-built outbuildings with three inner rooms and considerable future potential. There is also a renewed oil central heating system with individual thermostats to the radiators, double glazed windows with security locks, rcd controlled electrical system, CCTV system, brass and stainless steel electrical fittings, hardwood internal doors, exposed internal sandstone and brickwork, and original gothic-style stone rimmed and lancet windows.
Little Budworth is a popular semi-rural village that lies only 10 minutes drive from the centre of the Georgian high street of Tarporley. The village has its own public houses, church and its own picturesque country park ideal for both walkers and horse riders .The Park is within walking distance of the property. The renowned Hollies Farm Store is also found within three minutes drive of the house and for those with children, there is an excellent range of schools in both the state and private sectors within a short commuting distance of the property. For the business traveller, a comprehensive road network system linking to the whole of the north west and beyond is readily accessible, whilst Crewe railway station which provides direct services to London is only half an hour away and many other smaller stations can be found within ten minutes of the house. It should be noted that both Manchester and Liverpool John Lennon Airports can be found within 40 minutes drive of the house.
