About this home

This highly impressive, individual family home has been fully refurbished to present a fantastic, spacious home to suit several lifestyles. Set in around a quarter of an acre plot, the property is ideally placed in the exclusive Racecourse Lane in Bicton Heath, with the excellent Oxon Primary School, The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, Mytton Oak Surgery , Shelton Cricket Club, and surrounding grounds, all within close walking distance. The appeal of the property is instant, with a striking façade blending glasswork, render and cladding, and there is ample driveway parking to the front for multiple cars.

Leading into the property the hall provides a wonderful entrance with tiled flooring and feature open staircase with walk-in cloakroom and downstairs shower room. The property enjoys three reception rooms. The first is the sitting room with an open front aspect. The second is a spacious family and entertainments room with feature windows across one wall. Moving up to the split-level, the third reception room is, quite simply, stunning. There is a feature sloping roof, double aspect fully glazed walls with fabulous views and French doors lead onto a spacious balcony. The showpiece kitchen/dining room has tiled flooring and is fitted with a full complement of units and appliances including twin ovens, gas hob with feature splashback and extractor, and wine fridge. There are two sets of tri-folding doors which lead onto the private garden. There is also a superb and spacious utility room fitted with an excellent range of units. There is access to a further WC and the garage.

The spacious master bedroom includes an en suite, and dressing room which could easily be reinstated as a bedroom. There are two further double bedrooms overlooking Racecourse Lane and fields beyond. The contemporary main bathroom is fitted with a tub bath with twin shower heads above.

The rear garden complements the house, in terms of size. A pergola with grapevines provides ambience to the secluded outside seating area. Much of the garden is laid to lawn with a selection of trees and hedging to give complete privacy.

Cartmel House provides the opportunity for purchasers to create a wonderful lifestyle for families or professionals and could easily be adapted for multi-generational living. It is a house for all seasons, and whether you are looking for a family home, space for entertaining or a tranquil retreat, we feel it ticks all the boxes.
