## Description

Occupying a prime position within one of Prestbury's most sought-after developments, this substantial five-bedroom residence combines spacious, versatile interiors with a peaceful setting and outstanding views across Tytherington Golf Course towards the Macclesfield Hills.

The ground floor offers a superb layout, beginning with an enclosed porch and a welcoming reception hall. A dedicated study provides an ideal home office, while the generous dual-aspect living room - with its feature log-burning stove - offers a bright yet cosy retreat, flowing seamlessly into a conservatory. At the heart of the home is a stylish open-plan kitchen and dining area, fitted with classic shaker-style units, a central island, and direct access to the rear garden - perfect for modern family living and entertaining. Double doors connect to a separate family room, and a well-appointed utility room provides internal access to the integral double garage. A guest WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, a light-filled landing leads to five generously sized bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two en-suites. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring dual-aspect views, a large en suite bathroom, and a dedicated dressing area. Bedroom two also benefits from an en suite and fitted wardrobes, while the remaining bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for family, guests, or additional workspace.

Externally, the property enjoys a private, westerly-facing rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature borders. A large composite deck provides an ideal setting for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining. To the front, a deep driveway offers ample off-road parking and leads to the integral double garage.
