A substantial barn conversion in Culcheth has gone on the market for £550,000, bringing gated living, four bedrooms and enough floor space to make most modern new-builds look positively apologetic.
The property at Culcheth Hall Farm Barns, on Withington Avenue, sits within a secure development and is approached via a long driveway with private electronic gates. That should appeal to anyone who enjoys peace, privacy and the occasional theatrical arrival.
Estate agents Declan James describe the three-storey home as “particularly spacious”, and the layout appears to support that claim. The ground floor includes a bright hallway, access to the integral garage and stairs to the first floor, along with an L-shaped lounge featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the courtyard.
There is also a dining area and a well-appointed kitchen with a central island. French doors open onto a private rear courtyard, which sounds ideal for entertaining, assuming the British weather briefly remembers how to behave.
Upstairs, the master bedroom comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, a Juliette balcony and a large en-suite wet room with a separate shower. Two further double bedrooms, both with Juliette balconies, share the first floor with a luxurious family bathroom.
The second floor adds a study area, walk-in storage room and a very large living room. In other words, there is plenty of room for working from home, hosting guests or hiding from them when the entertaining has gone on long enough.
Outside, the property has a central courtyard, visitors’ parking, a private courtyard garden to the rear and a driveway leading to the garage. The gated setting is a clear positive, although buyers will need to decide whether the premium price matches their appetite for secure development living.
A spokesperson for Declan James said: “If you are looking for high specification in a secure development, look no further.” It is an undeniably polished proposition, but £550,000 is no pocket-money purchase, even in a desirable Warrington village.
The property is listed for £550,000. For more information, contact Declan James on 01925 878 020.
