There is a very polished three-bedroom home up for sale on Broseley Lane in Culcheth, and yes, it overlooks a golf course, because apparently some people wake up to fairways while the rest of us wake up to bin lorries and roadworks.
The house has been fully renovated throughout to what estate agents Courtyard describe as a very high standard, while still keeping some character. That is always the dream, isn't it? Modern enough to impress guests, but not so sterile it feels like you are living inside a dental surgery.
On the ground floor, there is underfloor heating, a lounge, a snug, and a kitchen and family room. The kitchen area also includes a separate bar, described as perfect for entertaining. Translation: ideal for hosting people who say they are just popping round for one drink and then start judging your lighting choices by 10pm.
There is also a utility room and a downstairs WC, which may not sound glamorous, but anyone who has lived in a busy house knows these are the real luxuries. Forget chandeliers, give people a place to hide the laundry and avoid queueing for the loo.
Upstairs, the property has three bedrooms, including a master suite running from front to back. That main bedroom comes with an ensuite and a Juliet balcony overlooking the golf course. Very fancy, though let us be honest, a Juliet balcony is still basically a balcony that has decided not to fully commit.
There is also a separate family bathroom, while outside the property includes a detached double garage, a garden room currently used as a home office, and a large storage shed. Between the garage, office and shed, this place is clearly not short on places to put things, work in peace, or pretend to be busy.
Courtyard says the home will be highly sought after because of its location and quality, and they are probably right. Culcheth remains one of those places where people like the village feel, the greenery, the schools, the pubs, and the fact you can still tell yourself Warrington is close enough without feeling swallowed by it.
The catch, because there is always a catch, is the price. The home is listed on Rightmove for offers over £900,000. That is a serious chunk of money, even for a beautifully renovated Broseley Lane address with golf course views. It is lovely, no doubt, but it is also firmly in the category of 'admire online while making a cup of tea in your current kitchen'.
Still, credit where it is due: this is a handsome, high-spec home in a desirable part of Culcheth, with space, style, and a setting that will make buyers with deep pockets pay attention. Just do not expect the rest of us to stop being nosy about it.
