Oak House, Eaton Lane, Eaton CW6 9AG

Convenient country setting Just minutes’ drive from Tarporley’s bustling high street and the convenience of city links, discover the peace and tranquillity of rural living with views in every direction, at Oak House.

Surrounded by fields and set to a soundtrack of nature, leave the pace of the wider world behind as you and enter an oasis of calm.

Comfort without compromise With only two owners in its history, the serenity of the setting is merely one element to its unique charm. Tucked away along a gravel driveway and hidden behind high hedging, inside, Oak House is invitingly spacious; a home of well-proportioned, light-filled rooms without compromise.

Parking is available on the driveway or within the double garage, where there are electric points should you wish to install an EVC.

A grand arrival Make your way to the front door, opening to the spacious entrance hall, where oak flooring extends underfoot. A central, sociable hub, with room for all. At family gatherings congregate here for drinks and nibbles with friends. Large enough to accommodate a tree at Christmas, it is the ideal place to meet and greet.

On the left, an inner hallway provides access to the cloakroom on the left, where sandy toned tiling coats the walls and floor and appliances include Villeroy and Boch wall mounted WC and wash basin.

Peaceful places Peacefully tucked away from the main flow of the reception rooms, arrive at the home office. Beautifully furnished with fitted drawers, shelving and desk space, light streams in from windows to two sides. A quiet, restful room in which to work from home and admire the wildlife as birds and rabbits frequent the foliage and trees.

OWNER QUOTE: “In autumn, the berries come out and attract the birds.”

Serene spaces From the entrance hall, entertain and unwind in the lavishly sized lounge, a room of grand proportions, dressed in neutral, peaceful tones and warmed by a log-burning stove, inset within an attractive stone surround. Windows to both sides of the fireplace invite light, whilst large, French doors draw the outdoors in, opening to the broad patio; a perfect place for sipping on a sundowner with views out over the large, striped lawn.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s a great family home where you can choose to all be together and also to be separate.” Cosy in the winter, fresh and light in the summer, this spacious, carpeted lounge offers all- season enjoyment and comfort.

Wine and dine Oak flooring continues from the entrance hall through into the dining room, where French doors again offer that instant connection to the outdoors. Perfect for both formal and alfresco dining and entertaining, lay the dining table for a buffet as guests mingle and flow indoors and out.

OWNER QUOTE: “There’s no wasted space, no odd areas of the home that aren’t used. It’s so well proportioned.”

The heart of the home, country vibes emanate from the Shaker-style cabinetry of the kitchen, where farmhouse-feel warmth radiates from the Aga. Sense the natural draw of this family space, where children can play games in the snug area as dinner is prepared, or help, gathered around the island.

Family time Storage is plentiful, with ample preparation space on the marble worktops. Well thought out, built-in wooden chopping boards highlight the meticulous care and consideration behind the design of this kitchen. French doors open to the patio, providing access out for children in the summer months.

Appliances include a built-in fridge, dishwasher and Neff microwave, whilst in the handy utility room, there is space for a freestanding fridge-freezer, full height storage and even a Neff oven and induction hob, ideal for the summer months.

From the entrance hall, ascend the stairs to the large and light first-floor landing, where far reaching views extend over to Congleton. Warmed by the morning sunrise, in autumn, admire as the mist blankets the fields in the distance.

Savour the view Make your way through to the right to discover the first of the spacious, double bedrooms. Fitted furniture provides ample storage whilst country vistas await from the window. Freshen up in the Jack ‘n’ Jill wet room shower ensuite, also furnished with wash basin and WC, before continuing through into the connecting double bedroom, currently serving as a lounge.

Carpeted once again in cream tones, this spacious bedroom features fitted cabinetry, currently serving, in part as a media wall with room for a 55” television. Ideal as a lounge or dressing room for a guest suite, this room can easily be returned to its original function as a bedroom by reattaching the cupboard doors, currently in storage. Views feature out over the extensively sized rear garden.

Light filled living Coming out of this bedroom, directly across from the stairs, discover a third double bedroom, dressed in soothing, neutral shades and offering enchanting views out over the garden and countryside. So peaceful and private, every room at Oak House features a view. Refresh and recharge in the ensuite, furnished with a bath, separate shower, wash basin and WC, and again overlooking the private garden. Plenty of storage can be found in this bedroom’s walk-in wardrobe.

Spacious sanctuary Privately nestled away from the guest bedrooms, seek sanctuary in the master suite. This capacious and light-filled room serves as a tranquil hideaway. Open, light and clutter free, a large dressing room affords extensive storage space, leaving the views from the three windows to take centre stage in the main bedroom.

Views await from the bathroom too, fully tiled, spacious, light and furnished with centrally filling bath, wall mounted WC and vanity unit wash basin.

Entertaining haven Outside, the exceptionally sized garden is great for entertaining, with the large patio – accessible from the lounge, dining room and kitchen – perfect for pizza parties and barbecues.

Seek shelter and shade from the summer sunshine beneath the covered canopy, situated next to the outbuilding, which holds scope for further development, perhaps into an artist’s studio, yoga retreat or garden bar.

Wrapping around the home, the garden is low maintenance, largely laid to lawn with plenty of space for a football net or cricket stumps.

Borders planted with catmint and daisies provide perennial colour. Timeless in its grandeur and simple elegance, there are plans to landscape and create different ‘rooms’ within the garden.
