An Exceptional Five-Bedroom Family Home with Expansive Living Space, Landscaped Sunny Gardens and a Prime Hartford Setting

Set at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac within the sought-after Hartford Grange development, 8 Stirling Close is a substantial five-bedroom detached home where space, light and location come together particularly well.

The layout has been designed around family life. Across the rear, the kitchen, dining room and family room create one impressive connected living space overlooking the garden, while a large separate lounge, dedicated study and utility room provide the additional rooms that make a house of this scale work so well day to day.

Upstairs are five genuinely generous bedrooms, with four bathrooms in total across the house, including three en suites. Outside, the south-west facing garden is a real highlight - extensively landscaped, surprisingly private to the rear and designed with several areas to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

Add a double integrated garage, driveway parking, EV charging and a position within walking distance of Hartford village, schools and the railway station, and this is an exceptionally complete family home.

Ground Floor - Space Designed Around Family Life

The entrance hall sets the tone for the house, with a tiled floor and a generous footprint connecting the principal ground-floor rooms.

To the front, the lounge is a substantial yet comfortable reception room, with a broad bay window drawing in plenty of natural light. Its separation from the more open-plan spaces at the rear makes it ideal as a quieter evening sitting room.

A dedicated study sits alongside, creating a proper home-working space without having to sacrifice a bedroom.

The practical elements have been equally well considered. There is a ground-floor WC, useful under-stairs storage and a separate utility room with fitted cabinetry and direct access towards the garage.

Kitchen, Dining and Family Room - The Heart of the Home

The defining space at 8 Stirling Close stretches across the full width of the rear of the house.

The kitchen, dining room and family room flow naturally together, creating a bright and sociable environment that works just as well for everyday family life as it does when entertaining.

The kitchen itself is comprehensively fitted, with composite granite worktops and an excellent specification of integrated appliances. These include Siemens ovens and grills, with steam and microwave functions amongst them, alongside a large refrigerator, freezer, induction hob and dishwasher. A wine fridge and Water2 filtration system add further practical touches.

The central dining area provides plenty of room for a large table, while the family room creates a more relaxed seating space overlooking the garden. Wide doors open outside from the rear of the house, reinforcing the connection between the interior and garden during the warmer months.

LIFE AT 8 STIRLING CLOSE: “The expansive, bright room across the whole width of the rear of the house is a favourite - it gives the home a wonderful feeling of space.”

First Floor - Five Bedrooms and Exceptional Flexibility

The first floor continues the generous proportions found downstairs, with five bedrooms arranged around a central landing.

The master bedroom sits to the rear and combines a large sleeping area with a fitted dressing room and private en suite, creating a particularly comfortable master suite.

Bedroom two is another standout room. Exceptionally spacious and with its own en suite, it works brilliantly for older children, guests or multi-generational living.

A third bedroom also benefits from an en suite, while the remaining two bedrooms share the family bathroom. Fitted wardrobes have been installed to all five bedrooms, giving each room useful integrated storage.

There is also a boarded loft with ladder access, providing valuable additional storage away from the main accommodation.

LIFE AT 8 STIRLING CLOSE: “There is a feeling of spaciousness throughout the house - the large, bright lounge and generous bedrooms are particular highlights.”

The Garden - Designed for Afternoon and Evening Sun

The rear garden is one of the features that really separates this home from many others on a modern development.

South-west facing and particularly generous for the setting, it has undergone extensive landscaping to create a mature and established outdoor environment. Significant work has included the removal of clay soil, installation of drainage channels, replacement topsoil and comprehensive landscaping.

A pond with waterfall and filtration system creates a focal point within the garden, while a pergola and summerhouse introduce different places to sit, entertain or simply enjoy the surroundings.

Mature trees beyond the rear boundary help create a greener outlook and, importantly, the garden is described as hardly overlooked from behind. Different seating areas make it possible to follow the afternoon and evening sunshine around the garden.

LIFE AT 8 STIRLING CLOSE: “The landscaped rear garden has secluded areas for afternoon and evening sunshine, with the sound of the waterfall running into the pond.”

Garage, Parking and Practicality

An integrated double garage provides excellent parking and storage, complemented by driveway parking and EV charging.

The property also benefits from fibre-to-the-premises broadband, gas central heating and a fully maintained alarm system.

The property is freehold, with an annual service charge currently stated at £312 for the maintenance of Hartford Grange's communal play areas. Buyers should confirm the latest charge and arrangements through their solicitor.

Life Locally

One of Hartford's Most Convenient Family Settings

Hartford continues to be one of Cheshire's most sought-after villages for families, and the position of Stirling Close makes it particularly easy to enjoy what the area offers.

Hartford village centre, local shops and amenities, The Grange School and Hartford railway station are all stated as being within approximately a 15-minute walk of the property.

For families, the wider Hartford area is especially well known for its choice of schooling. The Property Information Questionnaire highlights The Grange School, Hartford Church of England High School and Hartford Primary School amongst the nearby options. School admissions and catchment areas should always be independently verified.

Hartford station provides useful rail connections, while the wider road network puts destinations including Chester, Knutsford, Tarporley, Manchester Airport and Delamere Forest within convenient reach.

Walks and Weekends

One of the advantages of living in Hartford is the amount of countryside available close to home.

Marshall's Arm and walks along the River Weaver towards Vale Royal are local favourites, while Church Woods, Whitegate Way and Delamere Forest provide plenty more options when you want to head further afield.

Hartford village itself offers a choice of pubs and places to eat, while destinations including Hartford Hall, The Fox & Barrel, The Fishpool Inn and The Hayhurst Arms are amongst the favourites highlighted in the Property Information Questionnaire.

A Home That Gets the Big Things Right

There is a lot to like about 8 Stirling Close, but perhaps its greatest strength is how complete it feels.

Five bedrooms and four bathrooms provide the scale for a growing family, while the large lounge, study and exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family space mean everyone has room downstairs too.

The landscaped south-west facing garden then adds something that is harder to find on a modern development - maturity, privacy, space and an attractive outlook.

Combined with its quiet cul-de-sac position and the ability to walk into Hartford village, to the station and to nearby schools, this is a substantial family home in a location that makes everyday life particularly convenient.
