This wonderful semi-detached property is tucked away in the sought-after, semi-rural, leafy village of Churton, approximately 8 miles south of Chester. Churton is a pleasant and picturesque commuter hamlet just east of the River Dee, and only a couple of miles from Farndon, which offers a whole host of day-to-day facilities, highly-rated schools and a range of local amenities.
Stag Horn is definitely in a class of its own - beautiful original features, fabulous kitchen extension, huge south-facing garden (with new summer cabin!), tons of character and bursting with charm - it's an absolute must-see. Tastefully decorated and lovingly maintained to a superb standard, this cottage offers comfort, style and architectural elegance. There are original features in every room and there's an air of peace about the place that is difficult to describe. It really is the ideal place to call home...
The current owners choose to enter the property via the side gate and garden, and through the gorgeous glass doors of the magnificent rear extension. Now, let me be clear, this is no ordinary extension! The previous owners built this personally around 7 years ago, with incredible attention to detail and great sensitivity to the original layout of the cottage. The kitchen now benefits from top of the range integrated appliances, underfloor heating, middle island with granite worktop and double Belfast sink, stunning slate floor and masses of natural light. The gorgeous oak-framed extension juts out into the south-facing garden, providing a beautiful, bright dining area and creating an absolutely stunning dynamic between inside and outside spaces. A job well done!
The other rooms of the house are just as fantastic; there's the sitting room and bathroom on the ground floor, and two double bedroom upstairs. The outside space is something really special too; south-facing and stunning, with a new Summer Cabin add by the current owners - complete with shower and composting loo! A fantastic addition to the cottage!
There's just so much going for this property, my description could never do it justice. If you've been looking for your own slice of paradise in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, then Stag Horn is just for you....Go on, you deserve this!
