Description
Approached through gated access, the house sits discreetly towards the rear of the plot, allowing the generous front gardens and extensive driveway parking to take full advantage of the outlook. There is ample space for several vehicles together with a large double integral garage.
The accommodation is both flexible and highly adaptable, ideal for modern family living, multi-generational requirements or those seeking dedicated work-from-home space. At the heart of the home is an inviting entrance hall featuring a striking Cinderella staircase, setting the tone for the character and individuality found throughout. The ground floor offers an excellent balance of reception space, including a spacious lounge, dining room and impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast room.
The purpose-built lower ground floor was designed as a superb principal bedroom suite, complete with dressing room, bathroom and sun room, creating a luxurious and private retreat within the home. The first floor continues the generous proportions with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Despite its idyllic semi-rural setting, Toll Bar Cottage is exceptionally convenient, located on the cusp of Mere and only five minutes from the centre of Knutsford, either by car or a healthy walk. The property is also perfectly positioned for easy access to major motorway networks, making it ideal for commuters seeking countryside living without compromise.
