Description

An immaculate and handsome 5000 square foot detached period house of wonderful proportions, sitting in beautiful 0.6 acre South west facing landscaped gardens in the Legh Road conservation area, extended and beautifully refurbished throughout, within easy walking distance of the town centre.
The house is situated in a lovely position within the most charming landscaped gardens, over which views are enjoyed from almost every room in the house. The current owners have owned the property since 2007 and have updated and improved it significantly during their time in residence, including a comprehensive remodel to the rear of the house in 2018 which involved relocating the kitchen to the rear, extending into an orangery and creating the sort of contemporary open-plan arrangement that buyers seek today. This open, modern space blends beautifully with the late-Victorian architecture and is perfect for contemporary family living.
The accommodation flows beautifully, with each of the impressive reception rooms leading off a wonderful formal hallway with an impressive staircase overlooked by a galleried landing above. There are five in all, including the open-plan spaces into the kitchen, and also an excellent games room that lies at a mezzanine level above the kitchen area accessed off the first floor landing. This room could in fact become a sixth bedroom if required, very easily. Ancillary spaces include boot room, utility rooms and cellars providing excellent storage and laundry spaces, that are always required for a house of this type and style.
At first floor level there are currently five bedrooms but this could become six as above, and three bathrooms. The principle bedroom suite sits to the rear of the house with a large walk-in dressing room and a beautifully refurbished en suite shower room. All of the bedrooms are good sized doubles and in fact almost every room in the house bar a couple overlook the rear of the property away from the road and enjoy the lovely views over the landscaped gardens.
The driveway has electric gates to the front, good off-road parking and a large gravelled forecourt. Around to the rear of the house is a further parking area and integral double garage with internal access to the house. There are extensive entertaining terraces and an excellent contemporary garden pod, which could be used as an office or gym.
