Description

A charming Grade II Listed family house set within lovely landscaped gardens and grounds, in all about 1.25 acres, enjoying a wonderful rural backdrop, situated incredibly conveniently on the outskirts of Wilmslow and Alderley Edge.
Situated on Row of Trees, a popular and sought after position, which lies equidistant from Wilmslow and Alderley Edge, the house was extensively remodelled around 15 years ago, significantly enlarged and completely refurbished at that time into a truly charming family home, which today offers well balanced accommodation with rooms of excellent proportions over two floors, providing four ground floor reception rooms and four large first floor bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The house sits back off Knutsford Road behind a high Laurel hedge and a side driveway provides access to electric gates which lead onto a gravelled front courtyard and a double garage. The lawned gardens sit to the front and the rear of the house, are manicured with stone flagged pathways surrounding the house and a large entertaining terrace to the rear. The flat lawned garden drops off to the rear to a small paddock, in all the site extends to 1.25 acres or thereabouts. The house has a mixture of painted and brick elevations with some exposed timber framing and is surmounted by an attractive stone flagged roof with impressive brick chimney array.
Internally, the main reception rooms include a spacious dual aspect lounge with wonderful stone lined open fireplace, an impressive and spacious dining room with exposed wall and ceiling timbers, natural stone floor and a decorative fireplace, and the inner hallway gives access to a hand painted kitchen with an Aga cooker which is open to a spacious oak framed breakfast room with french doors leading out to the rear terrace. The family room leads off the breakfast room with a wood burning stove, an oak floor and french doors to the rear garden. The ground floor is completed by a side hallway, downstairs WC and utility room.
Two staircases serve the first floor and although all bedrooms can be accessed from the main landing the rear staircase provides more private access to the guest bedroom at the far end of the house. The landing has lovely exposed ceiling and wall timbers. The main bedroom suite has a walk-through dressing area with fitted wardrobes, dressing table and a lovely large bedroom with high vaulted ceiling and exposed truss, with french doors opening to a dummy balcony enjoying the lovely views towards The Edge in the distance. There is an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, wash basin, WC and shower enclosure. Next to the main bedroom is the smallest of the four bedrooms, still a good double, with fitted wardrobes and bookcases and en suite shower room. The remaining two large double bedrooms, situated in the original part of the house, are both excellent rooms with exposed ceiling and wall timber work and they share a family bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower enclosure.
NB: The paddock was acquired later and was bought in conjunction with the neighbour. The part owned by the house sits immediately behind the garden, the paddock isn’t currently fenced off into the two sections (about half is owned by Row of trees House) as it is used by a neighbouring property for their horses, but could be divided so by an incoming purchaser.
