Heart of Hartford retreat
Set along a peaceful cul-de-sac in the ever-popular village of Hartford, Number 6 has been reimagined with precision and vision.
With its handsome brickwork, inviting arched portico and curving bow windows, this is a home whose warm welcome can be felt from the outside, with updates made to its lighting, sockets, switches, flooring and plumbing.
Plenty of parking can be found for four or five cars on the smart block-paved driveway, and a half-garage converted for storage. Step beyond the tiled threshold and into the cheerful embrace of the entrance hall.
Contemporary meets classic
Throughout the home, an elegant, interior-designer-led renovation blends Farrow & Ball’s country-contemporary palette with brass fixtures, solid oak cabinetry and soft period flourishes, including traditional radiators, Minton-style tiling and chandeliers.
Herringbone engineered oak parquet flooring flows out underfoot, continuing into the living room on the left. Light streams in through the broad, bow window to the front, while a handsome log-burning stove beneath a thick rustic oak mantel infuses comfort on chilly winter afternoons.
Next door, the pared back elegance continues in the dining room, dressed in soothing shades of Skimming Stone and flooded with light flowing in through the French doors to the rear. Dine in comfort and style at the large table or slip outside and dine al fresco on the paved patio terrace.
Easy living
Across the hallway, the original garage has been cleverly extended and reimagined to create a stylish yet practical utility and boot room. With its warm limestone flooring echoing the modern-country aesthetic, stash away washing machine, coats and boots, in the bespoke cupboard and drawers while a cleverly concealed access hatch beneath one of the floor tiles is ideal for maintenance ease. The adjoining WC adds everyday practicality, while the remaining section of the original garage now serves as secure outdoor storage, ideal for bikes, tools or garden gear.
In the heart of the home, the modern cottage style kitchen is stylishly finished. Painted in Farrow & Ball’s Hague Blue, the Shaker-style cabinetry is warmed by solid wood worktops and given a modern edge with brushed brass handles. The modern flow of the kitchen, with dining area to one side, is balanced by the timelessness of the Belfast sink, metro tiling and limestone floor, whilst for contemporary family living, built-in appliances include an oven, dishwasher and wine storage, with space for a freestanding American-style fridge-freezer.
From the entrance hall, ascend the stairs to the first-floor landing, turning right to arrive at a light and bright shower room where colourfully patterned tiles feature underfoot.
Stylish and practical, the shower room provides easy-access refreshment for the neighbouring double bedroom, where soft wool carpet complemented by Farrow and Ball’s Strong White to the walls creates a peaceful, soothing feel.
Returning to the stairs, ahead to the left, the luxurious feel family bathroom awaits. Moroccan style tiling underfoot complements the chic white tiling of the walls, fitted with a high leveltraditional cistern to create added space. The traditional Old London Cabinetry, with its classic design, provides ample storage underneath its marble countertop with encased wash basin.
Soak away the aches in the claw foot bathtub, with showerhead attachment.
Drawing on the Cheshire countryside, warm yet muted shades of Farrow and Ball’s ‘Hay’ adorn the walls of the second bedroom, a spacious double with views out over the garden.
Meanwhile, overlooking the front, Victorian vibes emanate from the third of the bedrooms, dressed in deep, grey-green hues of ‘Card Room Green’ for a calming, soporific ambience.
Next door, bedroom four completes the quartet of double bedrooms, currently serving as a tranquil home office.
Conveniently accessed off both the kitchen and the dining room and with external access around the side of the home, the garden awaits. Stretch out on the large patio perfect for al fresco dining, whilst beyond, low maintenance lawn stretches out to the securely fenced boundary. Peaceful, private and perfect for both family life and entertaining.
