INTRODUCTION
Constructed in 1908 of attractive red brick under a ceramic tiled roof, the house has an excellent standard of build and specification.
In addition to cavity wall insulation, all windows and patio doors are double glazed, most are bespoke by a local craftsman using Brazilian Mahogany.
Internally the majority of the rooms have plaster cornicing and where possible the original doors, architraves and skirting boards have been retained, stripped and varnished.
Most of the rooms are of very generous proportions and their relationship to each other gives the potential purchaser the ability to adapt the accommodation to suit individual requirements.

The village of Tattenhall offers a comprehensive range of services including a general store, butcher, chemist, doctors surgery, coffee shop, pubs and restaurants. For recreation, the village has a thriving sports club and there are several golf courses locally at Garden Park, Aldersey and Waverton. Within walking distance of the property is also Tattenhall Country Primary School that is consistently rated highly in independent inspections.
Despite the tranquillity of its rural setting, the property provides an ideal base for the commuter with the centre of Chester being just 9 miles away. The area is also well served by roads with access to the M53/M56 motorways permitting travel to all areas of commerce throughout the north west via the national motorway network.

Liverpool and Manchester International Airport are 22 and 32 miles respectively and travel to London is available via Crewe which is 17 miles away and provides a 2 hour Inter City Service to London Euston.
