Description

This beautifully presented, four bedroom detached Victorian property has been much extended, refurbished and remodelled over the years to now provide light, spacious and flexible living accommodation blending period features and contemporary design effortlessly. Particular mention must be made of the stunning, open plan living dining kitchen with island unit, atrium roof light and bi-fold doors to the courtyard, the remodelled bedroom accommodation each with en-suite bathroom and dressing room as well as the detached two-bedroom annex and range of outbuildings.
Located in a popular position opposite Shakerley Mere Lake and recreation area and adjacent to the Three Greyhounds public house whilst being ideally positioned for all major network links to the Northwest and beyond.
The property is approached through timber electric gates over a sweeping golden gravel in and out driveway with a second set of gates to the rear of the property, flanked by open lawned gardens leading to the front entrance and parking/turning areas. The gardens are laid to lawn in the main with a range of well stocked, shaped borders containing a wealth of different plants and foliage, all fully enclosed by mature hedging and wood lap fencing. To the rear of the property is a stone flagged courtyard area, accessed through the bi-fold doors off the living dining kitchen linking to the detached annex and summer house, providing ample opportunity for alfresco dining and enjoying the pleasant aspect.
