3 bed semi-detached bungalow for sale

Old Chester Road, Helsby, Frodsham WA6

A hugely appealing semi-detached bungalow, set in large 0.27 acre mature gardens. It was built in 1910, to an attractive design using quality materials, and is now being offered for sale for the first time in over 60 years.

Description

This charming bungalow is in a lovely position, adjacent to Helsby Hill, in a picturesque and secluded plot approaching a third of an acre with the benefit of a West facing rear garden. It was built in 1910 by the owners of a nearby mansion as staff quarters. They used quality materials and built the property to an attractive Arts and Crafts influenced design.

It is being offered for sale for the first time in over 60 years and as such, represents a rare buying opportunity. The property enjoys a desirable non-estate position, adjacent to the woodland of Helsby Hill. It is set back from Old Chester Road and slightly elevated creating a good degree of privacy and seclusion. There is a long driveway providing plenty of off road parking and also a single garage.

The bungalow itself extends to almost 1080 square feet (100 sq m). The rooms have high ceilings and retain a character feel. It is immediately attractive and appealing yet also presents vast potential for modernisation, adaptation, and enhancement to fully unlock its considerable promise. There is also scope to extend the property, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

As currently configured, the accommodation offers three living rooms, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fitted kitchen but the layout can be adapted to suit individual requirements. Double glazed windows are fitted and gas fired central heating is installed.

Outside, the gardens are a real delight. Mature shrubs and hedges at the front result in the property being private and discrete. The rear garden is around 200 feet long with sweeping lawns bordered by mature shrubs, trees and plants. There is a large garden store.
