Description
Kenilworth is a distinctive and remarkable 1920s detached home, set on one of Wilmslow’s most established and sought after semi rural lanes. Positioned within beautifully landscaped grounds of approximately 0.41 acres and enjoying open views across adjoining farmland, this grand period residence offers exceptional space, privacy and high calibre family living.
The accommodation is both generous and elegantly proportioned, with impressive 9ft ceilings, original characterful features and a superb flow throughout. A welcoming entrance hall leads to multiple reception rooms, each offering flexibility for modern lifestyles, including a formal drawing room, a snug/playroom and further versatile spaces ideal for home working or relaxed family use.
At the heart of the home lies the high calibre kitchen, designed with both scale and practicality in mind. Granite worktops, LVT flooring, premium integrated appliances and a large peninsula create a stylish and functional hub for everyday living. The substantial walk in pantry provides excellent additional storage, while the separate utility room ensures day to day convenience and internal access to the distinctive double garage with electric door.
The kitchen extends into a remarkable, light filled family living area, featuring a large roof light and 4m full height bi fold doors that open onto the elevated limestone terrace. This impressive space seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living and showcases the property’s beautiful semi rural outlook — perfect for both intimate family gatherings and larger scale entertaining.
To the first floor, six well proportioned double bedrooms provide exceptional family accommodation. The grand principal suite offers fitted wardrobes and an elegant ensuite with Villeroy & Boch fittings. The additional bedrooms benefit from fitted storage, established garden views or countryside aspects, and access to further high quality bathrooms. Extensive loft storage enhances the property’s already generous provision.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The gravel driveway, framed by iron gates, offers parking for 4–5 cars alongside an EV charging point. The extensive gardens wrap around the house and have been thoughtfully landscaped to create distinctive areas for relaxation, family life and entertaining. Mature trees, structured planting and expansive lawns contribute to a sense of privacy, character and established elegance. A detached garden studio provides superb flexibility ideal as a home office, gym, creative retreat or teenage den.
