Hockenhull Lane, Tarvin, CH3 8LB

Welcome to this utterly charming and immaculately presented two/three-bedroom semi-detached Victorian cottage, which is quite possibly the ultimate ‘lock-up and go’ for the discerning downsizer or ambitious first-time buyer (or anyone who has ever dreamt of living in a home that blends period elegance with the kind of modern convenience).

Step into the stunning living room, where beautifully restored solid wood floors greet your feet, a wood-burning stove warms your toes, and a high-tech concealed mirror TV ensures your Netflix marathons remain as stylish as the surroundings.

The kitchen/diner is a culinary masterpiece in its own right, featuring sage green shaker-style fitted units topped with solid quartz worktops, some Neff fitted appliances (the kind that make you want to cook even if you’re more of a ‘takeaway’ enthusiast), and a feature electric fireplace for those times when you want your dinner parties to feel just a little bit more Downton Abbey.

The versatile garden room (or third bedroom, if you prefer) is perfect for teenagers craving their own space, guests who overstay their welcome, or that elusive home office you keep promising yourself.

Upstairs, you’ll find two generous double bedrooms (the master boasts fitted wardrobes for all your sartorial treasures), along with a modern bathroom complete with a white suite and a handy airing cupboard for extra storage, because one can never have too many places to hide spare towels and emergency toilet rolls.

Step outside and discover a rear garden and courtyard that is the very definition of low-maintenance bliss - sunny, private, and with a southerly aspect that practically guarantees your tomatoes will be smugly riper than your neighbour’s.

Whether you’re a fan of al fresco dining, sunbathing with a good book, or simply admiring your ability to own a garden that looks fabulous with minimal effort, this outdoor space ticks every box.

If you fancy going all-out, there’s plenty of scope to add your own horticultural flourishes, but rest assured, it’s already beautiful enough to impress even the fussiest of garden gnomes.

Parking woes are a thing of the past, thanks to a driveway that comfortably fits at least two cars (or one car and a small fleet of bicycles), plus a detached single garage for your pride and joy - or, more realistically, for storing Christmas decorations and that exercise equipment you swore you’d use.

All this is wrapped up in an enviable village location, just a couple of minutes stroll into the very centre of Tarvin.

This is a rare find indeed - call the office now to arrange your private viewing!
