Summary - LEA HALL FARM, DEMAGE LANE, LEA-BY-BACKFORD, CHESTER, BACKFORD CH1 6NU
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family farmhouse with large garden and conversion potential.
Approximately 1 acre of mature, south-facing gardens with pond
Lea Hall Farmhouse is a spacious four-bedroom detached farmhouse set on approximately an acre of mature, wildlife-friendly gardens. Tucked down a long drive in the quiet hamlet of Lea-by-Backford, the property offers privacy, generous living space and traditional character, including exposed brickwork, timber beams and original parquet floors.
The house has been extended and updated in parts, notably a large L-shaped kitchen fitted within the last three years and high-quality porcelain flooring in utility areas. Living spaces flow well for family life: a study with garden access, a cosy sitting room with brick fireplace, and a sunlit lounge overlooking the south-facing garden and pond. A double garage plus a separate store room provide substantial parking and storage, with the outbuilding offering conversion potential (home office, annexe or stables) subject to planning permission.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are very slow locally, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property has an EPC rating of E. The grounds and garden require routine maintenance but reward with established planting, a pond and private outdoor spaces ideal for children and wildlife.
For families seeking country living within easy reach of Chester, this farmhouse balances rural seclusion with local amenities and good nearby schools. Buyers wanting modern, fast-connected living should weigh the slow broadband and oil heating against the house's size, garden and development potential.
