Situation
Little Roost occupies a wonderful rural position in South Cheshire, at the foothills to the National Trust’s Bickerton Hills with direct access to miles of footpaths and onto the Sandstone Trail. Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the property is well placed for access to the A49 and A41 for travel north and south, together with the A534 providing convenient connections east and west.
The area is well served by schools, including Bickerton Primary School and Bishop Heber High School at Malpas, with a number of independent schools also within easy reach in Chester, Whitchurch and Ellesmere.
The nearby village of Malpas provides a good range of everyday amenities, including grocery stores and independent retailers, a post office, public houses, cafés and places to eat. There are also a variety of sporting and leisure facilities locally, together with a number of golf courses in the wider area. Whitchurch and the City of Chester offer a more extensive range of shopping, leisure and other amenities and are both readily accessible.
