A superbly spacious and skilfully designed family home with detached double garage, mature rear garden and open front aspect over countryside
DIRECTIONS From our office in the centre of Tarporley turn right heading out of the village in the direction of Nantwich. Having passed the Foresters Arms public house on the right hand side take the next turning left onto Eaton Road and having passed the school take the right fork onto Bowmere Road. Follow the road around the tight right hand bend where it becomes Brook Road and Durham House is the fourth property on the right hand side clearly marked by a Macmillans for sale board and situated directly opposite a field.
DESCRIPTION Constructed in 2002 by Messers Persimmon Homes to their excellent 'Durham' design, Durham House is a substantial and striking family home situated in a delightful and peaceful position just seven minutes walk from Tarporley's thriving Georgian High Street.
The house was built and designed to a high standard and has been further improved in recent times with the installation of solid oak flooring to the entrance hall and majority of reception rooms. In addition, the property benefits from gas central heating and uPVC leaded effect double glazed windows throughout. The accommodation opens with a particularly large and spacious entrance hall from which a stained wood spindled balustrade staircase leads to the first floor. The downstairs accommodation comprises through living room with splayed bay window, central fireplace and double doors onto garden, separate dining room with conservatory off, study / family room and well appointed kitchen with large breakfast room off in addition to a most useful utility room. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a well appointed cloakroom. At first floor level are four very impressive double bedrooms with both the master bedroom and bedroom two benefiting from large high specification en-suite bathrooms. In addition there is an equally well appointed family bathroom and worthy of particular mention is the excellent loft space which is currently 1/3 boarded for storage but would offer superb potential for conversion to a fifth bedroom / bathroom, subject to the necessary planning permission. Outside the property is approached via a block paved driveway providing ample off road parking and leading to the detached brick built double garage. The rear garden is an absolute delight being noticeable for its privacy and maturity and offering both an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and families with children.
Tarporley is one of Cheshire's best-kept villages and boasts a bustling High Street with a good selection of shops catering for daily needs and several excellent eating-places in addition to schools for children of all age groups. For the business traveller, the A49, A51 and A55 can be quickly reached by car. Rail services to London can be boarded in the nearby town of Crewe.
