DESCRIPTION

Tabernacle Cottage is a charming single storey property constructed of a mixture of brick, stone and block beneath a tiled roof. Believed to have originally been built as a Tabernacle/Meeting Room for Tollemache Estate staff, the property subsequently became a dwelling to the Estate. It was comprehensively restored and extended by the present owners in around 2004, and now provides spacious and superbly proportioned accommodation, served by oil fired under floor heating, and designed to take full advantage of the wonderful setting.

The front door opens to a porch and in turn into the kitchen/breakfast room, a lovely right room with double aspect to front and rear, and an extensive range of timber wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers beneath polished granite work surfaces, integrated oven and microwave, and a central island with further storage and work space, and LP hob. There are french doors to the south facing stone flagged terrace, and two arches to the main living room, which in turn is open to a dining area. There is a feature fireplace with wooodburner, and plenty of natural light having aspect on three sides.

In the centre of the building is a hall off which is spacious master suite comprising double bedroom, dressing room and en-suite bathroom, having the open aspect at the rear towards Peckforton Castle. There are two further double bedrooms, one alos with en-suite, a spearate W.C., and a useful utility room. Accessed from the hall and utility via drop down ladders are two roof spaces, the one at the rear being plastered out.

LOCATION

Tabernacle Cottage occupies a prime location in West Cheshire, overlooking rolling countryside and beneath the backdrop of Beeston Castle. The property is situated in the rural hamlet of Beeston which is essentially a collection of period farmhouses and cottages, surrounded by some of the county’s most attractive countryside, and has been long regarded as one of the most popular parts of the Cheshire. The property is well placed for the sought after villages of Bunbury & Tarporley which are just a short distance through the country lanes offering a comprehensive range of services including shops, small supermarket, doctors’ surgery, chemist, several churches, pubs & restaurants. The historic city and county town of Chester is just 13 miles to the west with many high street retailers complemented by out of town retail parks including the Outlet Village at Cheshire Oaks.

On the educational front there are successful state primary and secondary schools in Tarporley & Bunbury and for those seeking private education there is a good selection locally including The Grange at Hartford, Abbeygate College at Saighton and The King’s & Queen’s Schools in Chester. On the recreational front there are thriving sports clubs in the neighbouring villages catering for cricket, tennis, football, hockey & squash, and on the edge of Tarporley the Portal Premier & Championship Golf Courses. Tabernacle Cottage is close to the Sandstone Trail with scenic walks through the Beeston & Peckforton foothills and nearby is Delamere Forest. For the equestrian followers there is horse racing at Chester & Bangor on-Dee, polo at Little Budworth, and for the car enthusiasts, a motor racing circuit at nearby Oulton Park.

COMMUNICATIONS

Despite the rural location, the area is extremely accessible for all areas of commerce throughout the North West including the Chester Business Park, Deeside Industrial Park and Wrexham Industrial Estate. Liverpool & Manchester are both within daily travelling distance courtesy of the M53 & M56 motorways. To the south the A49/A41 connects with the M54 allowing for ease of access to The Potteries, Telford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. Liverpool and Manchester international airports are 28 and 32 miles respectively and for travel to London there is a 1hr 35mins rail service from Crewe Station to Euston.

The property is approached off the lane through an electrically operated gated entrance to a tarmacadamed parking area on the north side of the house with parking for several vehicles. There is a herbaceous border and oil tank to one side, with path and timber gate providing access to the rear of the building. The gardens have been well landscaped over the years, and comprise stone flagged patio, and two main lawns with floral and herbaceous borders extending to the far boundary and former vegetable garden. To the other side of the house is a pond and timber building comprising workshop and store.
