2 Hadrian Way

Where the church bells chime and the wisteria blooms, fall in love at first sight with No. 2, Hadrian Way, a home that blends light-filled rooms designed for modern family life with private sun-drenched gardens.

Peaceful position

A peaceful, tree-lined cul-de-sac with a gentle, neighbourly feel, No. 2, Hadrian Way, nestled in sight of the pretty stone spire of the neighbouring church, feels totally tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life, yet with all the essentials for modern living right on the doorstep: from the local butcher and greengrocer to the pharmacy and Post Office. 

OWNER QUOTE: “After I first viewed it, I told my husband, if you like how it looks from the front, you’ll want it – I knew he’d fall in love with the garden at the back.”

Framed in springtime by pink confetti blooms of the cherry blossom tree, the black and white mock-Tudor visage of No. 2, Hadrian Way sets the scene for the grandeur within. Plenty of parking for four can be found along the gravel driveway, with a

detached, double electric garage to the right, operated by remote.

Step into the light

Step through the front door into a light and spacious porch; a handy boot room with coat and shoe storage, creating a clear and clutter-free arrival in the entrance hall beyond. Here,original oak flooring, preserved by the current owners flows underfoot, with engineered oak flooring fitted by Living Floors in Chester featuring in the kitchen, office and snug/games room. Spacious and airy, the entrance hall is a central hub, providing access to the main entertaining space of the home, where further fitted storage can be found for coats, shoes and accessories.

Calming tones of soft grey harmonise with the peaceful palette seen throughout the home in the sitting room on the left. Light streams in through the bay window to the front, while a modern, minimalistic Cotswold stone fire surround and hearth accommodates a real-flame gas fire for cosy winter nights.

Sunny spaces

Glass doors open to the garden room beyond, a sunny space where tall windows to three sides invite the outside in, providing a picturesque preview of the glorious gardens beyond. Relax and unwind with a book, or share afternoon tea with a friend, in peaceful, sun-kissed surrounds, or step out onto the patio and breathe in the fragrant wisteria on summer afternoons.

Back in the entrance hallway, immediately ahead from the front door lies the home office, the perfect place to work from home whilst savouring the glorious garden views.

Practical places

Beyond lies a convenient cloakroom with wash basin and WC, before discovering anotherversatile reception room. With large windows inviting plenty of light, and engineered oakflooring, this room, currently serving as a snug, could easily function as a formal dining room, games room, playroom, second office, or even fifth bedroom, highlighting the flexibility of the home.

Serving as the heart of the home, the remodelled family kitchen – reimagined for modern family living as a bright, open and beautifully sociable room, is much more than a place to cook, it’s a space to congregate and entertain.

Savour the moment

With its natural warmth, enduring garden views and easy flow between indoors and out, friends and family naturally gather in this generous space, drawn to its warmth, its garden view, and the easy flow. Considerately zoned, there is space to relax and unwind in front of the log-burning stove after mealtimes, with ample provision for a large dining table, ensuring this room accommodates life in the modern era – from birthday gatherings, big family meals, quiet coffees by the fire, homework time and conversation – all while dinner bubbles away on the hob. As the weather warms up, throw open the double doors to the patio and invite summer in.

Timeless American oak units and Silestone quartz surfaces provide plenty of storage and preparation space, softened by brushed steel fittings. Appliances include Neff ovens (one with combination microwave), warming drawer, an induction hob, new Quooker instant boiling tap, Bosch dishwasher and Liebherr American-style fridge-freezer (with ice maker).

The same high-quality design continues into the utility room, where matching fittings, Silestone worktops and ample storage keep everyday life running smoothly, with plumbingfor a washer, dryer and space for an overflow freezer.

OWNER QUOTE: “We often sit at the breakfast bar having a coffee together, the real wood burning stove makes it warm and cosy all the way through the winter and atmospheric on cooler summer evenings.”

Rest and refresh

From the entrance hall, ascend the stairs to the first-floor landing, where a window provides a springtime snapshot of blossom fringed boughs out to the front.

Refresh and revive in the immaculate family bathroom on the left, the first of two large bathrooms fitted in January 2019. Furnished with wet room shower featuring mood lighting within the shower niche, alongside a two-drawer vanity unit wash basin with large LED mirror and WC, dimmer spotlights create layers of lighting for the perfect mood.

Along the landing, three comfortable double bedrooms provide rest for family and guests at No. 2, Hadrian’s Way; all well-proportioned doubles, offering flexibility for family life. Bedroom two looks out to the front, where the sunrise often puts on a spectacular show. Both bedrooms two and three feature fitted wardrobes with drawers in a wood-effect finish, while bedrooms three and four feature peaceful views out over the rear garden. Decor throughout is consistent with the calm, neutral palette of the home — ready to welcome visitors.

Soak and sleep

Tucked away at the end of the landing, refresh and revive in the pristine, main bathroom; a serene spa-like space furnished with a bath for leisurely soaks, wet room shower and mood lighting within the shower niche, alongside a wash basin with large LED mirrored storage cabinet and WC. Mood lighting from the dimmer-controlled spotlights enables you to create the perfect ambience. Overlooking the distant church grounds beyond, a Venetian blind adds privacy when preferred.

Next door, the bright and airy master bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary, with two large windows inviting light and providing fantastic views of the church and the trees which provide privacy to the home at the rear. Storage is plentiful, with double built-in wardrobes and space for more along one wall. Currently making private use of the neighbouring bathroom, there is potential to transform this into an ensuite, by knocking through or simply by adding a door on the corridor that leads to the master bedroom and master bathroom.

OWNER QUOTE: “We will miss the bedroom – starting a sunny day with a cup of tea and the blinds open – is so relaxing.”

Future thinking design

A home that has been thoughtfully upgraded for energy efficiency, storage and everyday ease, at No. 2, Hadrian Way, the double garage, with its electric up-and-over door offers secure parking and storage, with a double EV charger already in place (subject to negotiation).

Solar panels, installed in March 2023, allow the new owners to benefit immediately from reduced electricity costs - without the upfront expense or years of waiting for payback, with an 8kW battery in the loft (also negotiable) while a brand-new boiler with immersion heater (fitted November 2024 and still under warranty) support sustainable, flexible energy use, allowing water to be heated from solar power during the summer months - a simple and smart saving feature. Meanwhile Hive-controlled heating enables you to switch on the heating from wherever you are in the home or away from home at the touch of a button.

The loft itself is insulated to current standards, part-boarded for storage and fitted with a ladder and electric lighting - ideal for seasonal items and suitcases.

Garden delights

Enclosed by mature hedging and framed by tall trees with the steeple of St John’s Church peeping up at the rear, the garden at No. 2, Hadrian Way offers perfect privacy, space to play and peaceful tranquillity in equal measure.

South-west facing and so spacious, there is plenty to appeal to all ages, from leisurely lunches on the large Indian sandstone terrace, quiet mornings sipping on coffee on the sunny wisteria fringed patio or sparkling New Year’s Eve parties beneath the stars.

Raised beds soften the paved edges, whilst lush lawn offers room for games and gatherings. Flowering favourites like rhododendrons and Pieris bringing vibrant life each spring. In winter, beneath a blanket of snowfall across the lawn and with frost clinging to the branches beyond, the view from the house is nothing short of magical.

Keen gardeners can stash their tools in the new shed (fitted in 2023) whilst a tucked-away piece of additional land behind the garage further enhances both privacy and flexibility in this garden oasis.
