Description

Jordan Fishwick Exclusive is delighted to present this exceptional neo-Georgian residence, set on an expansive plot with a grand sweeping driveway, located on one of Bowdon’s most prestigious roads and within walking distance of Hale Village.
Upon entry, the ground floor reveals a magnificent reception hall providing access to a formal sitting room, elegant drawing room, private study, cloakroom with W.C., and an impressive open-plan kitchen and living area. The kitchen features a striking sky lantern, flooding the space with natural light, along with a substantial breakfast island. From here there is access to a separate utility room and a rear entrance hall.
The first floor offers a generous galleried landing leading to four well-appointed bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities. The principal suite further benefits from a dedicated dressing room with fitted wardrobes. A staircase from the landing ascends to the second floor, with a fifth bedroom and en-suite.
Externally, the property includes a detached triple garage with a games room and bathroom above, offering potential for use as an independent living space. Additionally, within the front courtyard, there is a separate gym/studio. Ample secure parking is provided via electric gates at the foot of an impressive driveway. The grounds extend to approximately 0.8 acres, featuring a substantial rear garden laid mainly to lawn with mature flower beds, as well as a spacious terrace ideal for alfresco entertaining, benefitting from a desirable southerly aspect. Mature trees line the boundaries, ensuring complete privacy.
The property would benefit from remedial works, and plans have been prepared for a comprehensive renovation and extension, providing an exceptional opportunity to create a truly outstanding 'super prime' residence.
