Wicker Lane

Guilden Sutton

The view’s, the setting, the location, the space and accommodation on offer – this property has it all and so much more! Tucked away within a beautiful development of barn conversions, the setting of The Steadings is something quite special, offering the best of both worlds, having the peace and tranquillity, yet local amenities and the City just a short distance away. The corner plot position has allowed for this fantastic home to not only offer great internal accommodation, but equally impressive external space, with gardens to the front, side and rear elevations. The Steadings as a whole has been well designed and carefully configured with a keen eye for detail, allowing for each property to boast impressive and attractive facades, combining perfectly with plenty of surrounding space, to include a long private driveway and a tennis court, all of which are bordered by the greenery of open fields. The location box can also be ticked, thanks to this home being situated within the sought after village of Guilden Sutton, where desirable schools and excellent local amenities are all within walking distance.

Now to Laburnham House itself. Upon entering you will immediately appreciate the feeling of space and natural light, with the large entrance hall effortlessly setting the tone for whats to come. From the Hall, you are taken into the living accommodation, Study/music room (or Bedroom four) and shower room, whilst a turned staircase rises to the first floor. The vast accommodation on offer to the ground floor provides fantastic versatility, each room and the proportion size within giving you ample options for utilising the space however suits. The large lounge and its open plan aspect into the dining area is simply perfect for family living and entertaining, with an internal door also leading conveniently to the kitchen. The double doors and windows to each elevation flood the space with natural light, whilst also providing access to the front and side gardens. The kitchen is well fitted with a comprehensive arrangement of wall and base units and leads to the useful and good size utility room. A further reception room situated to the rear is ideal for use as a playroom, snug or sitting room, entirely flexible, enjoying a stunning aspect over the rear garden and the far-reaching views beyond.

To the first floor you will find the three double bedrooms each oozing with character from the exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. The principal bedroom comes complete with its own en suite shower room, and each bedroom enjoys built in wardrobes providing excellent storage facilities. There is a fantastic size family bathroom complete with a four-piece suite, and when we say a fantastic size – it truly is! Finally, a large fully boarded loft stretches the width of the ground floor lounge and is a brilliant size, ensuring you can store all you need and with easy access from one of the bedrooms.

Externally, the gardens to each elevation allow for the sun to be enjoyed throughout the day and offer something for all of the family. The rear garden has the real wow factor though, with its extensive and far-reaching views beyond the lovely garden itself across open fields and farmland, it really is incomparable. There is parking to the front of the property as well as a double garage and additional parking to the rear.

 We feel just about every box has been ticked here, but take a look for yourself.

Location

Just three short miles north-east of Chester, the neighbouring villages of Guilden Sutton and Mickle Trafford offer the increasingly rare combination of genuine village life and city-edge convenience. Quiet, friendly and well-rooted, with countryside on one side and Chester’s amenities barely ten minutes away on the other, the two villages are a firm favourite with families and commuters alike; drawn by their good primary schools, strong community spirit and easy access to the motorway network and the city.
Village Life & Amenities
Guilden Sutton is the more characterful of the two, gathered around the Grade II-listed St John the Baptist’s Church with a primary school, post office, village hall and a clutch of local businesses. At its heart is the Bird in Hand, an inn since 1724 and one of the best-loved pub-restaurants in the Chester area, while the nearby Meadow Lea Farm coffee shop — set on a working dairy farm, complete with its own ice cream — is a popular spot with families and walkers.
Mickle Trafford, a short stroll away, offers an established residential setting with its own well-regarded village primary school, a Co-op and everyday shops, and convenient access to the A56 and rail links. Between them the two villages cover day-to-day needs comfortably, with open countryside and pleasant walks close at hand and the full range of Chester’s shops, restaurants and entertainment only a short drive away.
Both locations offer incredible links in and out of the villages making them ideal for the person or families who need to access other local and wider gems for work and pleasure whilst having all the serenity to stay at home surrounded by countryside and a strong community.
What makes it intentionally different?
Even though they are small, they are well established areas and communities. Houses here are often sought-after from working professionals, families and retirees. That means you have a mix who enjoy the quiet serenity of the place plus, a community who look out for oneanother.
Schools & Getting Around
Both villages are well served for primary education, with Guilden Sutton Primary School and Mickle Trafford Village School both popular with local families, and well-regarded secondary options nearby including Christleton High School. For getting around, the A56 and A51 give swift access to Chester and onward to the M53 and M56, opening up Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales, while Chester’s mainline station — with direct services to London Euston — is only a short drive away.
