The traditional village of Hanmer is located a short distance away which boasts an excellent Village Pub, Village School, Church, Post Office and Butchers as well as the beautiful Mere owned by the Hanmer family. Plentiful recreation activities including golfing, horse riding, bowling, walking, mountain biking and fishing are close at hand. For horse racing enthusiasts there are regular race meetings at Bangor-on-Dee and Chester. The area also benefits from a wide variety of dining pubs and restaurants.

Further afield, Whitchurch town Centre (8 miles) provides an excellent range of shops and services. Stable House is also centrally located for access to Wrexham (10 miles), Ellesmere (5 miles), Shrewsbury (22 miles) and Chester (20 miles).

There is a good choice of schools with Bishop Heber School at Malpas, Kings and Queens Schools in Chester, Ellesmere College, Moreton Hall and Packwood Haugh which are all readily accessible. The Stable House is also well situated for access to the comprehensive road and rail networks of the North West, and Wrexham station with its direct rail links to London Euston.

THE PROPERTY
The Stable House comprises an excellent barn conversion providing spacious family accommodation, together with a large garden and agricultural barn (coloured red on the sale plan). The property which is constructed in attractive Cheshire brick under a slate roof has been sympathetically converted and retains many of its original features. The detached property is ideally positioned to take advantage from fantastic views overlooking neighbouring farmland.

The property is accessed from Pigeon Lane, along a private drive (coloured green on the sale plan) leading to Pant Farm. The Stable House sits to one side of an attractive courtyard.

Internally, the property has potential for some modernisation to make a contemporary and modern living space and possibly creation of a fourth Bedroom on the ground floor with an adjoining En-suite Bathroom. All existing rooms are light and generous in size, in particular the main Sitting Room which has a full height ceiling leading up to an unusual Galleried Landing.

Adjoining the house there is a useful outbuilding which can be accessed from the front of the property and could easily be adapted to make excellent garaging, stables or workshop space.
