Situation
Hillside House sits in an elevated position in a beautiful semi - rural setting
within the charming village of Burwardsley, just a short drive to the south
east of Tattenhall. Burwardsley itself has a village store with post office
counter, a church, village hall and a highly acclaimed gastropub, The Pheasant
Inn. The immediate vicinity offers some exceptional countryside walks along
the Sandstone Trail.
Tattenhall offers a broad range of local amenities, including a convenience
store, butchers, hairdressers, numerous public houses, restaurants and a
doctor’s surgery.
On the educational front, Tattenhall Park Primary School is highly regarded
and is a feeder school to Bishop Heber High School, Malpas rated “outstanding”
by Ofsted. Independent schools in the area include King’s and Queen’s Schools
in Chester, Moreton Hall and Ellesmere College.
The area is well - placed for commuting to the commercial centres of the North
West via the M53, M56 and M6 Motorway Network, whilst Chester Railway Station
provides a direct service to London, Euston within two hours.
The property
Hillside House is a substantial family home built circa 1983 to the current
owner’s specification, on the site of the former White Cottage. The property
offers adaptable free - flowing space over three levels.
The property is of brick construction to the lower floor and timberframed with
attractive tile cladding to the upper floors. In addition to the exceptional
views towards Beeston Castle and the Peckforton Hills, the property
incorporates numerous environmentally friendly measures, including a 16 - panel
photovoltaic solar system, a wood pellet - fed central heating boiler and
efficient underfloor heating to all rooms on the middle floor heated by an air
source heat pump and/or pellet boiler. The property lends itself to a scheme
of improvement both internally and externally and has the potential for a
wonderful family home in an outstanding location.
The accommodation
An attractive pitched porchway gives way to the front door opening into the
reception hall, giving access to a wet room with walk - in shower, contemporary
vanity sink cabinet, WC and a fourperson home sauna. At the heart of the
ground floor is a large recreational room, ideal as a games room or home
cinema. Also, to the ground floor is a home office, a guest bedroom with a
range of bespoke fitted wardrobes, and a utility room featuring a range of
base cabinets with drainer sink unit and incorporates the ‘Compact 24 Red’
wood pellet central heating boiler. Linked to the western wing of the house,
benefiting from a south west aspect, is the indoor heated swimming pool set
within an Astroturf poolside warmed by underfloor heating.
Stairs rise to the first floor accommodation, warmed by underfloor heating. A
bright and airy morning room with exceptional rural views across the Cheshire
Plain and to Beeston Castle opens into the recently upgraded kitchen and
through to the open plan dining room and living room. The kitchen comprises a
range of cabinets with high gloss door fronts in grey, complemented by light
grey toned worktops and marble effect splashbacks. A range of appliances
include a range style cooker with 5 ring hob, American style fridge freezer
and combination oven/microwave. The living room is particularly noteworthy,
having a semi - vaulted ceiling with exposed timber work and features a dog
grate within a chimney recess with marble hearth. Also on the 1st floor is a
double bedroom linked to a hobby room which could be adapted for alternative
uses. The bedroom is served by a spacious family bathroom.
A turned staircase leads to a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling having
exposed roof trusses with a glazed gable end having doors opening to a south
facing decked terrace. The bedroom has the benefit of a recently fitted en -
suite shower room.
To the second floor are two generous double bedrooms, both being served by a
“Jack and Jill” bathroom facility, fitted with a sunken spa bath, shower
enclosure, twin sinks, WC and bidet.
Gardens and grounds
Hillside House is garden - fronted and benefits from extensive offroad parking
on a block paved driveway leading to the integral single garage with remote
up - and - over door. Opposite the house is a second garage of sandstone and brick
construction, also having remote up - and - over door with a spacious studio to
the first floor with WC and wash hand basin.
The principal gardens sit to the rear of the house with a wonderful southerly
aspect and is terraced over several levels. Wrapping around the southern and
western elevations is a partially covered decked terrace ( in need of repair),
supporting a grape vine and fig tree, offering exceptional alfresco
opportunities, with tremendous views.
At the top of the formal garden is a substantial timber - framed storage shed
offering opportunities to replace with a substantial garden room with views.
To the east of the gardens is a further paddock, partially enclosed by post
and rail fencing. This land benefits from a separate access available directly
off the Burwardsley Road.
Due to the hillside position, viewers are strongly advised to wear sensible
footwear when viewing the gardens and grounds.
