Balterley Court, Balterley, Newcastle Under Lyme, CW2

An exceptional barn conversion extending to over 2,767 sq ft, set within an idyllic semi-rural setting just 5.7 miles from Crewe Station.

Description

Set within an exclusive development of just six beautifully converted barns, this exceptional four/five bedroom residence effortlessly blends refined contemporary country living with the charm and character of its agricultural heritage. Extending to approximately 2,767 sq ft, the property has been comprehensively renovated and thoughtfully redesigned by the current owners to an exacting standard, creating a stylish and highly versatile home ideally suited to modern family life.

Approached via a picturesque beech tree-lined avenue, the property enjoys a wonderfully private and peaceful setting overlooking a charming central courtyard and communal green. Resident parking is discreetly positioned away from the properties, preserving the tranquil atmosphere and uninterrupted outlook.

The accommodation is centred around an impressive entrance hall which serves as both a welcoming reception space and practical everyday hub, complete with bespoke boot room storage and cleverly designed under-stairs storage solutions. Beyond, solid oak double doors open into a beautifully proportioned living room where a feature log-burning stove provides a cosy focal point. French doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home, the magnificent kitchen/breakfast room has been handcrafted by renowned local specialists, Puddled Duck Kitchens. Featuring bespoke hand-painted cabinetry, luxurious Silestone quartz worktops and elegant Armac Martin ironmongery, the space has been designed with both family life and entertaining in mind. Further highlights include an oak-lined pantry and appliance cupboard, extensive fitted storage and a substantial central island with concealed power points. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances comprises a Rangemaster oven, full-height fridge and freezer, microwave, dishwasher and wine fridge. Beneath a window overlooking the gardens, a double Belfast sink is complemented by a premium Quooker tap providing instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water. Bespoke banquette seating with integrated storage completes this exceptional space.

A well-appointed utility room offers further storage and laundry provisions, whilst a versatile additional reception room is currently utilised as a home office but could equally serve as a fifth bedroom or playroom. A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is equally impressive, centred around a striking galleried landing where exposed original timbers create a wonderful sense of character and architectural interest. From here, beautiful views can be enjoyed across the landscaped gardens and surrounding Cheshire countryside.

The principal suite provides a luxurious retreat, centred around a striking original oak A-frame and complemented by a generous dressing room. The beautifully appointed en suite bathroom features a freestanding bath, bespoke vanity unit and walk-in rainfall shower with bespoke Matki glazing and Swadling brassware, creating a spa-like environment of exceptional quality.

Three further bedrooms provide generous and flexible accommodation, including an impressive second bedroom extending the full length of the property and benefitting from fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms three and four are both comfortable doubles and are served by a stylish family bathroom incorporating both a bath and separate walk-in shower.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The beautifully landscaped south-facing cottage garden has been thoughtfully designed to create a private and tranquil outdoor sanctuary. A raised terrace leads to a pergola-covered seating area, beneath which a hot tub has been discreetly positioned, providing the perfect space for relaxation and entertaining whilst enjoying uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside.

Further benefits include a garage with a versatile first-floor workshop, studio or home office, two allocated parking spaces, one of which is fitted with an electric vehicle charging point, together with access to an overflow parking area for residents and guests.

Combining elegant contemporary styling with beautifully retained period features, this outstanding barn conversion represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional semi-rural home within an exclusive development, enjoying far-reaching countryside views whilst remaining within easy reach of excellent transport links.
