Church Lane, Farndon, CH3 6RX

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman Farndon is one of my favourite villages in the locality.

It has beautiful historic buildings, impressive day to day amenities and a delightful position on the English Welsh border, just in to Cheshire.

This particular property is located in a gorgeous lane and is remarkably peaceful and serene. From the top floor, amazing views of the village and many counties around can be enjoyed.

I’m really proud to offer to the market this most interesting, three storey barn conversion that forms part of a lovely courtyard development and is offered with no chain and quick legal completion available.

Church Court, as the name suggests is directly opposite the Parish church and literally a few seconds stroll from the centre of Farndon high street. It is deservedly in the Farndon conservation area.

The development comprises just four individual barns within it, each having its own private garden area, parking provision and garaging.

The barn itself has a wonderful warm feeling and has been configured in an interesting and flexible format with spacious and characterful accommodation spread over three floors.

It can easily be adapted to suit individual requirements.

Because of the proportion of the rooms and the large amount of light that floods into them, I envisage that the property would be ideal for a person looking to downsize into a village location but still requiring spacious open plan spaces.

It would also be an ideal home for professional couples.

As the floorplan demonstrates, there is over 1500 square feet of space here and in addition to the space, it should be noted that this is about as light a barn conversion as you will ever find.

It is also very practical, with all three double bedrooms having fitted wardrobes. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate shower room.

The ground floor is elegant, flexible and open plan whilst the kitchen was designed, made and installed by the Cheshire Furniture Company in 1998.

The present owner has undertaken considerable works since taking ownership just under 40 years ago.

These include but are not limited to a ground floor extension, a new roof in 2009, garden landscaping and in 2018, gas main trunking installed beneath the driveway from Church Lane to the edge of the front path of the subject property, allowing for the future installation of a mains gas supply.

The realistic price reflects the fact that the new owner will invest further, with the installation of new windows likely to be an early priority.

Externally there is a pleasing combination of the pretty and the practical. Parking is provided via two spaces, and there is also a single garage.

The real highlight is the front and side facing courtyard garden which comprises a paved terraced area with raised flower beds.

It is a very easily managed size of approximately 660 square feet and also very private.

The added external bonus is an area of lawn, which when the development was formed was created in an open format with each resident owning one part each in absolute title.

This area enjoys lovely views out towards the village.

Whilst there are no legal rights for any resident to use land not formally owned by them, in reality this area that has been enjoyed by all owners of the houses since the development was created fifty years ago.

So what a combination and a very rare buying opportunity. Come along to see it!
