A Georgian home has come on the market in the village of Alderton for a guide price of £695k.
London House was previously a village shop and a café, and selling agent Jackson-Stops say the current owner has undertaken a sympathetic programme of improvements to the property, creating a well-balanced layout with appealing and atmospheric presentation.

Entering the home, the central reception hall provides access to a pair of reception rooms on either side, in traditional Georgian style.
The rest of the ground floor comprises kitchen, dining room, utility, cloakroom and conservatory.
The reception rooms include a sitting and drawing room, each offering individual places to relax and put your feet up, with both featuring fireplaces, one with a wood burner inset.
At the heart of the home is a large, bespoke kitchen by J S Hardy, featuring a central island with solid Iroko worktops and a range of Miele appliances, an ideal place for those who love to cook.
Beyond this is a dining room, which flows seamlessly from the kitchen. It is spacious enough to entertain guests and overlooks the terrace.
The conservatory is ideal for enjoying the sun, with views over the garden, while a utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Heading upstairs, the central landing leads to four double bedrooms and a main bathroom.
The master bedroom is the largest and has a luxury en-suite shower room, complete with walk-in shower, WC and sink.
The bathroom completes the first floor, with the three-piece having a bath with overhead shower, WC and sink. This bathroom and the en suite have underfloor heating.
London House has benefitted from new wiring throughout, as well as new plumbing, with oil-fired central heating as well.
Outside, London House is approached by a pair of gates, with an area of shingled parking.
To the rear of the house is a suntrap limestone terrace, which can be accessed via the dining room and kitchen, with a view of the lawn, which is interspersed with shrub borders and trees.
You will also find a raised shingle terrace, with a greenhouse at the end.
The south-facing back wall of the garden features wisteria, fig and trained fruit trees, with a gate opening into an area of woodland, a workshop with power and a chicken run.
