Lovely detached property with garden and paddock offering superb rural views, yet close to the village and its amenities. Great location to explore the Cheshire and Shropshire borders.

Audlem is a pretty village that offers a host of independent shops, eateries and a church to explore. Take time to visit the Overwater Marina with mooring for over 200 narrowboats, 4 miles by foot, or at weekends take the Audlem Lass canal cruise from Lock 15 to the marina. There’s a cafe here for refreshment and lunches. This is a walkers’ and cyclists’ paradise with many way marked footpaths and cycle routes for you to explore the surrounding Cheshire countryside. Take a trip to an abundance of National Trust houses in all directions, or head into the market towns of Chester and Shrewsbury, both less than 30 miles, providing charm and culture with even more to see and do.

Arrive at this cosy single-storey property and enjoy the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with large sliding doors overlooking a gravel garden. This is a social space to prepare a meal, enjoy dinner and relax on the sofa. In the lounge area, you can sink into the sofa, find your favourites on the TV and relax, or open the patio doors on a nice day to let the outside in and curl up with a good book. The kitchen area offers an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine and microwave and there is a dining table where you can enjoy some homecooked meals with plenty of space for everyone to gather around and plan your holiday activities. When ready for bed choose from the spacious double or single room. Take a leisurely shower or bath in the lovely bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

Outside, sit down at the table and chairs on the gravel garden with views towards the enclosed garden with established trees, shrubs and a paddock. It is the perfect place unwind from sunrise to sunset. If you are bringing your bikes there is a bike rack to use by the kitchen door. There is ample off-road parking for two cars.
