## Description

A once in a generation opportunity to acquire exquisite 4,805 sq ft residence, beautifully modernised and with exceptional views over the Cheshire Plain in a prime Alderley Edge location

**Description**

Constructed by the renowned church-builder JS Crowther in 1853, Redclyffe Grange is a quite stunning grade II listed period residence, beautifully adapted for the 21st century with stylish and tasteful modernisation, extension and interior design by the current owners. 

Accessed via a sweeping carriage driveway, the property occupies a fabulous hillside plot, with wraparound gardens and exceptional views over Alderley Edge tennis club, Manchester's city skyline and to the Pennines beyond. 

Truly unique, the property is a rare residential example of Crowther's signature gothic Victorian-era architecture, yet perfectly balances that grandeur and charm with the comfort, style and ease-of-living of a modern luxury home. The wonderful paneled ceilings, stained glass, sculptured stonework and feature sandstone windows are complemented by contemporary interior design, parquet flooring, a lutron-style lighting system, David Lisle kitchen and Fisher-Paykel appliances. Great care has been taken to ensure this is a comfortable, manageable and easy-living home, as shown by the impressive energy performance rating. The property was fully rewired 6 years ago, there is a top of the range boiler, and the classic cast iron radiators are supplemented by under-floor heating throughout.

The property opens through bespoke oak double doors into a spacious entrance hallway. To the left is a stunning formal drawing room with heated parquet flooring, deep bay window and open fire with grey sandstone surround. To the right are two equally stylish and spacious reception rooms; a dining/snooker room overlooking the front garden with intricate sculpted stone fireplace, and, behind that, a cinema/living room with 75" television and Northerly views over the rear terrace. Both rooms are dual aspect, with heated parquet flooring, paneled ceilings and exquisite mullioned sandstone windows. The kitchen/dining room, to the rear of the ground floor, is a fabulous space. Perfectly positioned to enjoy the spectacular views, this room comprises the bespoke-built David Lisle kitchen with large Quartzite island and a dining area, opening onto the rear terrace through sliding doors. Steps lead down past a hidden cloakroom with exposed brick arches to an additional, flexible-use living space, again with terrace access - an ideal snug or family room or an impressive office space. Elsewhere on the ground floor, there is a second cloakroom/WC and a well-equipped utility room.

The first floor - accessed by two staircases, one at each end of the house - is home to the bedrooms, all of which are beautifully interior designed. There are four spacious double bedrooms, three of which have stunning marble-tiled en suite shower/bath rooms and bespoke-built dressing rooms. The principle bedroom is a particular highlight, with double-height vaulted ceiling and fabulous views to the rear. A fifth room, currently arranged as a fine home office, could easily be converted into a single bedroom or nursery if required. The four piece family bathroom is modern and stylish. The east staircase continues into the Tower of the property, providing useful storage and access to the loft space.

The basement level, accessed via a hidden purpose-built door off the hallway, houses the gym and adjacent steam room, plus excellent storage space.

Externally, there are attractive gardens to all four sides, with lawn and woodland areas, forest paths and seating areas, plus the spacious rear terrace which provides excellent outdoor dining and entertaining space. The property is wonderfully private, screened to the rear and sides by wild forest which extends down the hillside beyond the terrace. There is ample parking for numerous vehicles on the carriage driveway.
