Property description
It's funny how you think that moving to the country will be quiet and peaceful. Well, let me tell you, the day I visited this lovely country house, there were cows mooing in the fields and hedgerows with birds, all in full song, making quite a racket. As for the babbling brook in the front garden, that was just the final push, to make me want to return to the comfort and familiar urban bliss that we all know, including the hum of traffic, noisy neighbours, screaming kids and wailing sirens. You get the picture! Anyway, enough sarcasm and back to reality. Many will describe this spot as pure bliss. It is in fact one of the few places in the area where you cannot hear any traffic noise whatsoever. It is quite literally on the Cheshire/Welsh border, the plot itself being divided by the brook itself. It faces and backs onto fields and yet it is within only a few minutes drive from Whitchurch, whilst Chester and Wrexham are also easily accessible, along with the motorway network. Not only is this a wonderful place to live, but the current owners also run a bed and breakfast from the property, so this is also a wonderful business opportunity too. Which brings us to The Granary, a separate bungalow, not only ideal as a 2 bedroom self-contained granny/teenager annexe, but also having the potential as a holiday let. Mill House has 4/5 bedrooms with en-suite facilities and downstairs, the accommodation is equally as spacious, the comfortable 28 foot Sitting Room being a wonderful room for entertaining. A large conservatory has been added to the side of the house, there is a dining room and a good sized kitchen/breakfast room, the latter having been refitted about 40 years ago and is certainly ready to be done again! To be honest, there are quite a few areas that need up-dating, but in the overall scheme of things, who really cares? It is the superb setting that makes this wonderful property feel so special. Opportunities such as this rarely come onto the market and who knows, it could be you that has the privilege of becoming the next owner of Mill House and Granary. I'll tell you what, you could do a heck of a lot worse! PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO ONWARD CHAIN
