Victoria Road , Little Neston £ 625,000
Meticulous in its design and representing a truly fine example of old meets new , this wonderful property in Little Neston , Cheshire blends a grade II-listed 17thcentury house with a contemporary design by architects Azzurri who worked closely with the owners to create this stunning home .
Given the nature of the grade-II listing , the emphasis was on restoring the original building with great integrity whilst creating a modern conversion that dramatically expanded the living space .
The restoration allowed the owners to specify thoughtful modern additions that elevated the original building , with particular focus on creating a sustainable modern home that celebrated the protected heritage . Amongst other details , the original cruck frame and exposed beams have been retained , the slate roof tiles were replaced , all the windows were replaced with appropriate alternatives , and the internal doors have been replaced with solid oak doors and the floors replaced with solid oak and underlaid with underfloor heating so that the exposed sandstone inner walls were not spoilt with modern radiators . The property also has a built in speaker system . access to a garage with double doors . Planning permission has been submitted for the conversion of the garage and dressing room to create an additional bedroom .
The main entrance to the house is a glazed-link with contemporary aluminium framed roof structure , the entrance is open plan to a reception room with log burning stove and provides access to an impressive open plan kitchen-dining room . The property has an impressive master suite with vaulted ceiling , en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe . There are two further double bedrooms . Planning has been applied to convert the garage to an additional ( 4th ) bedroom .
The house is approached along a quiet lane through electric gates which open to a gravel driveway providing off road parking and
