Redwalls sits on a wonderful, elevated corner plot between New Lane and Walnut Croft, in the heart of the sought-after, rural village of Churton, approximately 8 miles south of Chester. Churton is a peaceful and picturesque commuter hamlet just east of the River Dee, and only a couple of miles from the neighbouring villages of Farndon and Holt, which offer a whole host of day-to-day facilities, highly-rated schools and a range of local amenities. There's easy access to the A534 and A41, and local connections to other major routes such as the A483 and A55.
The property itself is a spacious, detached family home set over three floors, with capable and flexible internal accommodation, a large, south-facing, landscaped garden and the additional bonus of a delightful roof terrace (sun trap!) on the first floor. There's some work to be done to bring this home into the 21st century, but with that comes a truly exciting opportunity to create the home you've always wanted...While adding value too! I have visions of bi-folding doors, kitchen islands and modern master suites...Redwalls offers a multitude of options for moving forward and I can't wait to see where it's headed!
To access the house, you can use the lower ground floor entrance on New Lane, or take the pathway up through the walled garden to enter on the ground floor. It's a lovely setting, with trees, plants and flowers bordering the lawn and a real peacefulness that's difficult to describe. Once inside, each room is bright and well-proportioned, with the accommodation arranged as follows:
Lower Ground Floor: Home Office/Reception Room, Utility Room/Storage, WC and internal access to Garage
Ground Floor: Breakfast Kitchen, Dining Room, Lounge, Family Room, Sitting Room/Bedroom Four
First Floor: Three Double Bedrooms, En-Suite Shower Room, Family Bathroom, South-Facing Roof Terrace

The Modern Method of Auction
This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction which is not to be confused with Traditional auction. The Modern Method of Auction is a flexible buyer friendly method of purchase. We do not require the purchaser to exchange contracts immediately, but grant 28 days to achieve exchange of contracts from the date the buyer's solicitor is in receipt of the draft contracts and a further 28 days thereafter to complete.
