Situation
The Gables is situated in prime Cheshire countryside, in the pretty village of
Bulkeley, on the edge of the Cholmondeley Estate. The area is renowned for its
natural beauty and proximity to some wonderful walks on the sandstone trail
along both Bickerton and Peckforton Hills. The nearby villages of Malpas,
Bunbury and Tattenhall all offer a range of local shops and recreational
facilities, whilst Chester and Nantwich provide a comprehensive choice.
Recreational opportunities in the area are plentiful including Carden Park
Hotel and Spa with its two Championship golf courses, Aldersey Green Golf
Club, Tattenhall recreation grounds and numerous walking opportunities.
On the educational front both Bickerton and Tattenhall have state primary
schools and Bishop Heber High School, Malpas is deemed “outstanding” by
Ofsted. Excellent local independent schools include King’s and Queen’s Schools
in Chester and Abbey Gate College in Saighton.
The Accommodation
A pretty front door with canopy opens into a welcoming central reception hall
featuring an exposed brick chimney piece with quarry tiled hearth and exposed
whitewashed ceiling beams.
The hub of the house is the wonderful family kitchen, which forms part of a
two - storey extension to the rear undertaken by the current owners. The kitchen
itself is fitted with a comprehensive range of bespoke hand - painted cabinets
by Nigel Bulkeley of Nantwich, including a central island under granite work
surfaces. A double range cooker with ceramic hob sits within a tiled recess
with additional appliances including a Bosch integral dishwasher with space
for an American style fridge freezer. Oak floorboards run through the kitchen
into the family room offering space for a large dining table and seating area.
Elegant glazed French doors open to the rear terrace, affording views across
fields towards the Bickerton Hills. Off the kitchen is a utility room fitted
with a single drainer sink unit with plumbing for laundry appliances with an
adjoining cloakroom and WC.
Occupying the southern wing is the sitting room featuring a woodburning stove
within an exposed brick chimney piece with quarry tiled hearth and exposed
ceiling beams. This room enjoys plenty of natural daylight, having dual
aspects to the front and rear of the property. Adjoining the sitting room is a
characterful dining room, currently being used as an office and multi -
functional living space, having a pitched ceiling with exposed king beam and
southerly views across the orchard garden.
A spacious landing gives access to all bedrooms with the principal bedroom
being located to the rear of the house, enjoying tremendous rural views, and
is fitted with a bespoke range of wardrobes. The spacious adjoining en suite
is fitted with a traditional white Heritage suite including a panelled bath
with thermostatic shower and screen over, and a heated towel radiator. There
are three further double bedrooms, all having bespoke wardrobes, served by a

suite and attractive tongue and groove wall cladding to dado level.
Gardens and Grounds
The Gables sits behind a mature native hedge with a gated entrance opening
onto an extensive driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, in turn

and alfresco dining. Steps lead up through a picket fence to further lawned
