Summary - Oakfield Cottage, Hoofield Lane, Huxley, CHESTER CH3 9BR
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Large plot with substantial garage block and exceptional rural outlook.
South-west facing garden with extensive far-reaching countryside views
Set in the hamlet of Huxley, this late-Victorian semi-detached cottage sits on about 0.32 acre with a superb south-westerly garden and long-distance rural views. The layout offers comfortable family accommodation across two storeys: living room, kitchen/dining, utility, cloakroom, three double bedrooms and one bathroom. A standout practical asset is the large detached garage block with a room above — roughly 1,000 sq ft — offering workshop, office or conversion potential (subject to planning).
The house requires a programme of modernisation throughout. Services include oil-fired central heating to radiators, double glazing added since 2002 and septic tank drainage; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and will need upgrading to meet current standards. Council Tax Band F is comparatively high for the area; buyers should factor renovation costs, possible heating system works and drainage checks into their budgets.
For families seeking countryside living, the location is quietly rural but within easy reach of Tarporley and Tattenhall amenities and reputable local schools. Fast broadband, low crime and an average mobile signal support home working. The large garage block and generous plot give scope to expand, create independent accommodation or establish a home business subject to planning and building regulations.
This property suits buyers looking for character and space who are willing to invest time and capital to modernise. It’s an opportunity to retain period features while improving energy efficiency, reconfiguring living spaces, and unlocking the potential of the extensive outbuildings and garden.
