Tate and Co

Welcome to Hope Hey, a gorgeous and well-loved four bedroom home set down a sweeping private driveway, offering a rare sense of seclusion and serenity on 2.65 acres of private land and only a ten minute drive to Chester. Purchased as an uninhabitable cottage over 25 years ago, this remarkable property has been sympathetically renovated by its current owners, blending timeless charm and character with the warmth and cosiness of a cherished family home.

As you make your way down the gravelled driveway, a superb sense of privacy unfolds, setting the tone for the peaceful lifestyle that awaits. The expansive driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, while the stable yard offers easily enough additional space for a horsebox, caravan or campervan. Glimpses of the property’s equestrian facilities - including four stables, a dedicated tack room, a barn and a large garage - hint at the versatility and potential for country living. Manicured gardens, lovingly cared for, gently wrap around the home, ensuring that every window frames a view of greenery and nature, creating a tranquil backdrop for daily life.

Step inside to a spacious and welcoming hallway, where warm wood-effect flooring underfoot immediately invites you to relax and feel at home. Throughout the property, stable-style doors pay homage to the home’s rural heritage, enhancing the sense of character and continuity. The living room is a true haven, with a striking brick fireplace housing a glowing gas fire, perfect for cosy evenings spent unwinding with family and friends. Generous windows flood the space with natural light and provide peaceful views over the front gardens, inviting the outdoors in. The breakfast kitchen is beautifully appointed, exuding a subtle cottage feel with its neutral cabinetry and thoughtful layout, while an adjoining utility room adds a practical touch for everyday chores.

On the ground floor, two double bedrooms are both immaculately presented, offering restful retreats with serene garden views from every aspect. Further along the hall, a spacious dining room provides the perfect setting for family dinners, entertaining, or simply enjoying the company of loved ones, with versatility to suit your lifestyle needs. Finally, the contemporary and immaculate ground floor bathroom, complete with a large bath, offers a sanctuary in which to soak away the stresses of the day.

Ascend the staircase to a generous landing illuminated by a skylight, where two further bedrooms await. The master suite is particularly impressive, boasting fitted storage, double aspect windows, and an abundance of space, while the additional upstairs family bathroom features another bath, ensuring comfort and convenience for all.

Throughout, the home is designed to embrace its natural surroundings, with every room benefiting from its own individual charm and character, alongside an abundance of natural light that allows you to enjoy peaceful views across the beautifully established gardens.

Step outside and the grounds continue to impress. The rear garden offers an exceptional amount of space, surrounded by mature planting, flourishing greenery and an abundance of wildlife, creating a wonderfully private setting in which to relax and unwind. A completely private, south-facing patio and garden provide the perfect spot for sunbathing, sunny barbecues and family gatherings, where you can enjoy music and conversation without worrying about disturbing immediate neighbours.

Combined with the extensive land, four stables, tack room, barn, garage and additional outdoor facilities, Hope Hey lends itself perfectly to those who cherish a country lifestyle and want to make the most of outdoor living. There is also a wonderful opportunity for those looking to become more self-sufficient, with plenty of space to grow your own fruit and vegetables, as well as ample room to introduce a chicken coop if desired.
