Set back from one of Poynton’s most prestigious roads, this imposing and characterful detached family home offers an abundance of living space, timeless period features, and an incredible rear garden that must be seen to be appreciated. With over 3,000 sq ft of accommodation, five double bedrooms, three reception rooms, and a plot that backs onto Wigwam Wood, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of scale, character and exceptional lifestyle potential.

Ground Floor – Elegance, Light & Space
Step inside through the original entrance door and you're greeted by a magnificent reception hall, rich with period detail including original American oak flooring, which flows into both principal reception rooms.

To the front, the sitting room enjoys a bright dual aspect with plantation shutters, bespoke fitted bookcases, and a large multi-fuel burner – a cosy yet elegant retreat.

To the rear, the main lounge is a beautifully appointed space, again with dual aspect windows and a second multi-fuel burner set within a striking tiled surround. French doors lead out to the conservatory, offering lovely views and direct access to the garden.

The heart of the home is the generous dining kitchen, fitted with a range of contemporary units, built-in gas hob and double oven, and complemented by two sets of French doors that open directly to the patio – perfect for indoor/outdoor family living. A snug/playroom leads off the kitchen, creating a fantastic space for children, hobbies or informal relaxation.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a home office/study, a large utility room, and a well-appointed guest WC.

First Floor – Five Doubles, Three Bathrooms
The spacious landing leads to five generously sized double bedrooms, all flooded with natural light. The principal bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite, while a contemporary family bathroom and a separate shower room provide excellent facilities for family life or visiting guests.

Outside – One of Poynton’s Finest Private Gardens
The setting of this home is truly special. The property is positioned behind a lawned front garden with well-stocked cottage-style borders, mature hedging, and a driveway leading to a double garage.

To the rear lies a truly spectacular garden extending to around 0.8 acres – offering multiple zones for relaxation, play, and entertaining. Immediately outside the house is a stone-paved patio, perfect for alfresco dining, which leads down via a Westmorland stone rockery to a large lawned garden, flanked by mature shrubs and specimen planting.

The garden continues with:

A formal rose garden

A timber summerhouse nestled among trees
