*By Tender* A substantial period property set within expansive private gardens, enjoying a peaceful woodland backdrop in a charming village setting. In all about 0.88 of an acre.
The property
The Vicarage is a substantial three storey detached residence, believed to have been constructed in 1904 by the local Gladstone family. The property is situated within a designated Conservation Area and is understood to lie within the Green Belt.
The house retains a wealth of attractive original period features, including high plaster coved ceilings, picture and dado rails, panelled internal doors, open fireplaces and fine internal joinery. While rich in character, the property now offers excellent scope for sympathetic upgrading and enhancement, subject to the necessary consents.
Ground floor
An enclosed porchway provides access to a substantial oak front door, which in turn opens into a spacious and imposing central reception hall. This impressive space features parquet wood flooring, which continues through much of the ground floor, and sets the tone for the quality and scale found throughout the house.
To the front of the property lies a well-appointed study, featuring a wood-burning stove set within a painted surround with sandstone insert, complemented by glazed French doors opening to the side elevation. To the rear is an elegant drawing room with parquet flooring and a wood-burning stove set within a recess, complete with an oak over-mantel. This room enjoys delightful views over the rear gardens and the adjoining woodland beyond.
The dining room is generously proportioned and features an open fireplace within a decorative surround and sandstone insert, making it ideal for both everyday use and formal entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinetry incorporating Bosch appliances, including a ceramic hob with extractor hood and a double electric oven. A wood-burning stove set within a brick-lined recess adds character and warmth. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room with drainer sink, plumbing for laundry appliances and access to a walk-in pantry.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is a traditional boot room with period cabinetry and a Belfast sink, together with a cloakroom fitted with a two-piece white suite.
First floor
A turned staircase with substantial painted spindles and polished oak handrails rises to the first floor, passing a striking eight-panel stained glass picture window set within stone mullions and enjoying far reaching views across the adjoining countryside.
The spacious first-floor landing provides access to a WC, linen store and a useful understairs storage cupboard. There are four well-proportioned double bedrooms on this level, all retaining original open fireplaces and all benefiting from superb rural views.
The family bathroom is fitted with a two piece white suite including a panelled bath, while an additional shower room provides en suite facilities to the principal bedroom, with a second door offering access from the landing.
Second floor
An enclosed staircase continues to the second floor, arriving at a landing with useful eaves storage. This level provides access to two double bedrooms, one of which is currently partitioned and offers excellent potential to create en suite facilities, subject to the necessary consents.
Gardens and grounds
The Vicarage is set back behind a sandstone wall with twin sandstone gateposts creating an attractive in-and-out driveway, providing extensive forecourt parking and leading in turn to a single detached garage.
The gardens are a particular highlight of this appealing property, enjoying a predominantly southerly aspect and extending in total to approximately 0.88 of an acre. The formal gardens are mainly laid to lawn and bordered by established planting including rhododendron, holly, laurel, a variety of specimen trees and an attractive twisted hazel.
Beyond a Leylandii hedge lies a composting area, with an archway leading through to a kitchen garden featuring numerous raised and ground-level vegetable beds. To the eastern side of the property there is an orchard containing a variety of soft fruit trees.
The gardens benefit from a wonderful and entirely private backdrop, adjoining Burton Woods.
Situation
The Vicarage occupies a central position within the picturesque village of Burton, situated to the north west of Chester and a short drive from the popular village of Neston. Neston provides an excellent range of everyday amenities, while the historic Roman city of Chester offers a comprehensive selection of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities.
Recreational opportunities in the area are extensive, with a number of highly regarded championship golf courses including Heswall and Royal Liverpool close by. Sailing and water sports are available at Dee Sailing Club and Hoylake, together with a wide variety of local social and sporting clubs.
The location is well suited for commuters, with convenient access to the M53 and M56 motorway networks, providing links to the principal commercial centres of the North West. Chester railway station offers a direct service to London Euston in under two hours, while Manchester and Liverpool airports provide a choice of international travel options.
