Leading Cheshire estate agency Gascoigne Halman has identified the Top 5 most romantic features to look for when house hunting this Valentine’s Day.
Whether you are seeking for a first-time rental property, investing in a family home or downsizing to enjoy later life, Gascoigne Halman recommends house hunters add romance to their wish list in 2023.
“It’s important to find a home that you love both internally and externally, if you want to feel romantically inspired all year round,” commented John Halman, executive chairman of Gascoigne Halman. "Whether it’s a listed cottage with period features to cosy up in, a garden that offers secret sanctuary or a property with dreamy locations on the doorstep, there’s something on offer for everyone here in Cheshire.
“Our team at Gascoigne Halman is expert at matchmaking house hunters with their perfect property, so get in touch and let’s get your partnered with the right home this year.”
Gascoigne Halman’s Top 5 romantic features for house hunters:
5. Spa experience
Bring the spa experience home by seeking properties that enable you to relax with your loved on. A spacious master bathroom or even a spare room can provide the perfect space to create an at home spa experience where you can relax, unwind and pamper one another year-round.
Want to take this to the next level? Consider a home with its own spa facilities like this fantastic home near Prestbury with private outdoor hot tub: https://www.gascoignehalman.co.uk/property-details/855620/cheshire/adlington/holehouse-lane
4. A cosy nook
Every home should have somewhere you can snuggle up, relax and escape the outside world. Cosy nooks enable you to create a sacred space where you can focus on your loved one away from other distractions. Look for properties with warming fireplaces, great views or even surplus space under the stairs, where you can create a cosy corner for two.

3. Romantic bedrooms
Whether you are in a couple or not, a great bedroom should always provide a relaxing sanctuary where you can escape and unwind all year round. Look for properties with master bedrooms that enable you to make a real feature of your bed and bring added romance through decorative touches such as plush pillows, luxury bedding and soft lighting.

2. Dining space
There’s no escaping the intrinsic relationship between food and love. Whether it’s cooking a romantic meal for two or enjoying breakfast in bed, many of our most treasured memories are built around food.
Great kitchens and dining areas should therefore be near the top of the list for romantic house hunters. Look for properties with the space to make meaningful connections over food. If the kitchen is galley style, consider putting a dining table in another room to recreate those special restaurant experiences at home.

1. Breath-taking locations
Right house, wrong location is unfortunately a mistake too many house hunters make by focussing too much on a property’s interior. When choosing a home that inspires romance, take a close look at what will be on your doorstep should you choose to live there. Luckily in Cheshire, romantic inspiration is never far away whether it’s a walk in the countryside, dinner at a stylish restaurant or a visit to a stately home.
