A substantial home in Ivy Farm Gardens, Culcheth, has gone on the market for £1,100,000, offering five bedrooms and almost 6,000 sq ft of living space. It sits in a secluded private cul-de-sac, which is estate-agent shorthand for peaceful, private and probably not ideal for anyone hoping to keep the mortgage conversation casual.
The detached property is described as a dream home and stunning family property, and it is certainly presented in immaculate condition. The centrepiece is an open-plan contemporary kitchen, dining room and sitting area, giving the house the sort of sociable layout that works for family life, entertaining, or displaying an impressive amount of furniture nobody is allowed to touch.
There are five substantial double bedrooms, including a master suite with its own dressing room and ensuite. Two further bedrooms also have ensuites, so morning bathroom negotiations should be considerably less dramatic than in the average family home.
There is plenty beyond the bedrooms, including a games room and a large lounge featuring a statement modern fireplace. Outside, a driveway leads to a detached double garage, while the rear garden offers total privacy, a particularly attractive feature in a village where space and seclusion come at a premium.
The criticism, if one can call it that, is the price. At £1.1m, this is firmly in the luxury bracket, with the likely upkeep of nearly 6,000 sq ft adding another sizeable commitment. Still, for buyers wanting room, privacy and a polished Culcheth address, it is an impressive package rather than a mere oversized box with a fancy brochure.
