The Lodge is an enchanting detached home nestled within meticulously landscaped grounds, lovingly maintained and significantly enhanced by its current owners over the past two decades. Situated in a picturesque yet accessible rural location just north of Chester, this exceptional property offers a harmonious blend of countryside charm and modern luxury.

Inside, the ground floor welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall leading to an outstanding open-plan kitchen and family room, an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and appliances, complemented by a practical utility room. The living room is both spacious and inviting, featuring an open fireplace that adds warmth and character. A light-filled garden room with elegant Italian marble flooring further enhance the living space. The principal bedroom is a true retreat, boasting generous proportions and a luxurious en suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom provide comfortable accommodation for family or guests. A striking oak staircase leads from the kitchen/family room to a versatile mezzanine level, currently configured as a bedroom and office area. Externally, the gardens are a standout feature beautifully manicured and predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees, shrubs, and vibrant herbaceous borders. The grounds wrap gracefully around the property, a large patio offers multiple areas for outdoor dining, relaxation, and entertaining. A particular highlight is the bespoke covered BBQ kitchen area, thoughtfully designed for outdoor cooking and social gatherings, making it perfect for summer evenings and weekend get-togethers in this idyllic setting.
