Description

An exquisitely appointed three storey 2,180 Sq Ft gated residence, combining refined contemporary design, exceptional privacy & security, & a prime position moments from Prestbury village.

Description

Set within an exclusive and private gated enclave, 2 The Willows is an exquisitely appointed three storey wing of an imposing residence extending to over 2,000 sq ft, positioned just a short walk from the heart of Prestbury village. The property combines refined contemporary design with a high level of privacy, security and craftsmanship, having been meticulously maintained and enhanced by the current owners.

The accommodation is introduced via an elegant entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming reception hall, finished with porcelain tiled flooring with double doors providing immediate access to the principal living spaces. The ground floor is defined by a superb open plan kitchen, living and dining area, designed with both everyday family life and entertaining in mind. Porcelain flooring runs throughout and is complemented by electric underfloor heating. The bespoke kitchen, handcrafted by Plain & Simple of Knutsford, features solid wood cabinetry with quartz work surfaces, a Rangemaster cooker with tiled splashback, integrated NEFF dishwasher and fridge freezer, twin wine fridges for red and white wine, and a Villeroy & Boch porcelain sink with Quooker boiling water tap. The living area centres around a striking marble fireplace fitted with an electric wood burning stove, with a retained gas connection offering future flexibility.

To the rear of the property, a beautifully designed glass garden room, added approximately eight years ago and designed by Ian Fenton, provides a tranquil space to relax and unwind, with direct access to both the south facing patio and the landscaped gardens beyond. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful utility room with space for a washer and dryer, a maintenance and communications room housing the Vaillant pressurised boiler system and CCTV equipment, and a stylish downstairs WC fitted with Laufen sanitaryware, heated towel rail and tasteful tiling.

The entire first floor is dedicated to an impressive principal bedroom suite, creating a luxurious and private retreat. The bedroom is exceptionally spacious and incorporates a separate fitted dressing area, while bi fold doors open onto an east facing balcony with a manual awning, ideal for enjoying morning light and elevated views. The en suite bathroom is elegantly appointed with a freestanding bath, large walk in shower, twin vanity unit with double sinks, Laufen WC and underfloor heating, all finished to a high standard.

The second floor offers two further generous double bedrooms, both comfortably accommodating king size beds and benefitting from useful eaves storage. These rooms are served by a contemporary shower room fitted with walk in shower, single vanity basin, Laufen WC and underfloor heating. A spacious and light filled landing, enhanced by glass balustrades and a large Velux window, provides an ideal area for use as a study or additional seating space.

Externally, the property enjoys beautifully maintained tiered east facing gardens, incorporating lawned areas, established shrubs, specimen trees and raised borders. To the side, an extremely, private south facing wraparound paved patio offers an excellent suntrap and a superb space for outdoor entertaining, complemented by a summer house and additional storage shed with electrics. To the front, the development is accessed via secure electric gates opening onto a shared courtyard and driveway. The property benefits from parking for two to three vehicles, a dedicated electric vehicle charging point, and a discreet additional storage shed. CCTV coverage surrounds the property, enhancing security throughout.
