DESCRIPTION
Picton Barns is a development of traditional agricultural barns converted to form 14 impressive dwellings. Created by Oaksmore Heritage Property Holdings in 2020 2 Picton Barns forms the middle part of a two storey brick and slated building. The majority of the scheme is accessed via two main drives, but Numbers 1 & 2 enjoy a degree of independence sharing use of a drive directly off the lane.
The barn has been converted to a high specification throughout, with quality fitments used in the kitchen and bathrooms, and in keeping with modern building techniques high levels of insulation used and double glazing. It has been designed to accommodate a variety of different buyers, including single occupiers, couples and families, and those seeking to downsize from a larger dwelling to be part of a small residential development and community in a rural but convenient setting.
The entrance hall has an attractive turned oak staircase and floor off which is a formal sitting room with doors to the rear garden, a cloakroom and the kitchen. A fantastic room for everyday living with impressive tiled floor, double French doors to the garden and a range of fitted wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers beneath granite tops, integrated AEG appliances including induction hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, as well as a sofa, and beyond is the utility room with further storage, a Worcester boiler and separate door to the front.
At first floor level the living space is as comprehensive with four bedrooms accessed of a light, galleried landing. The master bedroom has impressive vaulted ceiling with exposed king truss and en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, one of which is presently used as a dressing room with quality wardrobes which are available by separate negotiation, and a fourth bedroom which is used as a study. There is also useful storage off the landing in an airing cupboard which houses a Green Storage cylinder water tank.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached via an electrically operated double timber gated entrance, owned by Number 1 and through which Number 2 has access rights. Only Number 1 & 2 use this entrance. The drive is initially tarmacadamed and thereafter block paved beside the garage. The garage, which is attached to Number 1’s provides fantastic storage and is approx. 17’2” x 16’8” with pair of up and over doors (one electric) and side courtesy door. The garage is served with light and power, and behind it is a further outdoor store area.. There are lawned gardens to the front and rear of the barn together with a flagged rear patio, surrounded by fencing and some established laurel hedging. Beyond, there is a communal garden with attractive pergola, used for community functions and for the use of residents.
LOCATION
The development occupies a lovely rural location close to the hamlet of Picton, accessed off a quiet country lane. It benefits from excellent road communications being approximately 2 miles from the M53 motorway for commuting to all the major areas of commerce throughout the North West and linking with the national motorway network, and is approximately 4 miles from Chester from which there is a sub 2 hour rail service to London Euston. Chester offers a wide range of shopping and leisure facilities, complemented by several out of town retail parks including Cheshire Oaks.
On the educational front there is a choice of both private and state schools nearby including Upton Primary, St Martin’s Academy in Hoole, The Hammond School at Hoole Bank, and the King’s and Queen’s schools in Chester. On the recreational front there are rugby, football, hockey and cricket clubs nearby, and several golf courses in close proximity.
