Willington Corner, Willington, CW6

Comment from Oliver Weston of Gascoigne Halman

This deceptively spacious barn conversion has undergone an impressive transformation since its previous sale and now provides an excellently presented home balancing the character of the original barn conversion with modern day tastes and practicality. These improvements have capitalised on a home that already benefitted from a brilliant location, offering easy access to the villages of Kelsall and Tarporley and enjoying a South West facing rear garden that takes in lovely countryside views and dramatic sunsets.

In addition to the thorough internal renovations throughout, my personal highlight of the changes is the extension to the rear. This has created a brilliant open plan kitchen and dining area, where the dining area has been fitted with a large picture window to make the most of the scenic views and the bi-fold doors provide access the patio in the rear garden. Another significant change has been the conversion of the previous store room to a fully functional utility room and separate home office. The main living room enjoys a central fireplace with log burner creating a lovely space to relax and also benefits from double doors on to the rear garden.

The first floor offers three well proportioned double bedrooms and has also seen a significant improvement with the main bedroom now benefitting from an en suite shower room and the main bathroom with bath and shower fixing above serving the spare bedrooms.

Externally, the property enjoys an attractive and mature rear garden which as detailed earlier benefits from being South West facing for some terrific sunsets over the countryside views, strong levels of privacy and two patio areas to enjoy. At the front there is driveway parking with a larger courtyard offering additional visitor spaces.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office.

The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside with some of Cheshire's best walks quite literally on the doorstep. The Sandstone Trail, Willington Hills and rural lanes of Utkinton and Kelsall all interlink so as to provide a first class rural environment of outstanding natural beauty and tranquillity. For those who enjoy a traditional pub in a superb location, ‘The Boot’ is within walking distance as is the Willington Hall Hotel.

Nearby Kelsall is an extremely popular semi-rural Cheshire village that combines excellent day-to-day amenities and a superb position amidst some of Cheshire's most picturesque countryside.

Within the village there is a large Co-operative convenience store, a renowned village butcher, pharmacist, ladies hairdresser and recently opened coffee shop known as ‘Citrus’. More over there is a well used community hall and social club, Vets practice and well attended combined Parish Church and Methodist Chapel. There is also an impressive array of events in the state of the art newly constructed Kelsall Wellbeing Hub, which adjoins the new medical centre.

Recreationally Kelsall features tennis courts, playing fields with specialist children's play area. The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside and places of significant interest that include ancient castles, boating facilities on nearby canals and the outstanding Delamere Forest. There are a number of pubs in Kelsall, with Brunning & Price having a village centre pub known as The Morris Dancer. This outstanding public house/restaurant has already been met with wide acclaim and is worthy of inspection along with The Oak and Farmers Arms.

For those with educational needs, Kelsall has an outstanding Ofsted rated primary school on Flat Lane, which in turn feeds into the nearby outstanding Ofsted rated Tarporley High School. There are other well regarded schools in the areas surrounding including Kings & Queens of Chester, Abbeygate College, SJD Sixth Form College, Kinsgmead and The Grange in Hartford.
