Where Fieldhead excels is in its superb restoration and extension in a contemporary style creating a versatile home which should meet the requirements of the most fastidious of buyers. Both the original and contemporary finishes are exquisite, with wonderful natural woodwork, herringbone maple woodblock floors to the principal rooms and bespoke furniture and doors throughout. This is a house which combines entertaining space comfortably alongside family living. Lots of natural light floods the main reception areas and clever redesign has created a modern home wrapped within a period exterior, yet with the most elegant and unique period features retained and enhanced. One of the best virtues of a family home is flexibility and Fieldhead is no exception. The accommodation lends itself to accommodating a nanny or staff in their own section of the house, to have a nursery and playrooms and is equally well suited to those with teenagers, providing their own space away from the day to day living areas for entertaining friends. This blend of entertaining space and family living is a rare combination. Many rooms lend themselves to multiple uses as need dictates. The front door opens into a vestibule with a Crittall-style screen and door opening into the main hall. Off to the right is the large cloakroom with a separate WC. The library, with a vaulted ceiling, a stunning oak gallery and walls lined with bookshelves and the main staircase leading off provides a link to the drawing room and first floor. The drawing room offers excellent entertaining space and a study with double French doors to the gardens lies off this room. The formal dining room has a door from the drawing room and lies at the rear of the house with a bay window and an impressive wine fridge on one elevation. A service door from the hall leads to where the second staircase leads up to the main landing. The living kitchen extends to the full depth of the house. It is beautifully appointed with a Smallbone bespoke kitchen area with painted units and marble surfaces, Miele appliances, and a large island. This lovely light room opens into the informal dining area set under a lantern roof and double French doors open to a rear terrace for al fresco entertaining. The kitchen is open to a delightful sitting area with a vaulted ceiling and beyond lies the area of the house which was subject to significant post-Covid alterations and extension. There are two further accesses to outside, one via a hall way with a contemporary open tread staircase serving the integral garaging and a utility room at lower ground level, a dog room and shower room on the ground floor and a large gym, with balcony, a bedroom and bathroom. This area lends itself to adaptation to staff accommodation. A cellar area lies off the main hall with a staircase leading down from the inner hall. The main landing is accessed by both staircases, one via a galleried walkway, and includes the master bedroom with Daniel Wayman bespoke wardrobes and a bay window to the rear. There is a beautifully appointed dedicated bathroom and a dressing room. A linen room/seasonal wardrobe lies beyond a house shower room serving the two further double bedrooms, both with bay windows, located on this floor. To the far side of the gallery landing area, off the drawing room staircase, there is a further bedroom or reception room on this floor with a bay window overlooking the gardens and an oriel bay to the front. Two staircases continue up to the second floor. The one off the library leads up to a lovely guest suite with an en-suite shower room. The other staircase leads up to a large landing/living room area off and there are three further double bedrooms served by a shower room. There are fitted cupboards off the sitting room/landing providing plenty of storage. Fieldhead stands within wonderfully private and secluded grounds framed by mature trees and well away from the road and at the head of a long driveway. The 1.37 acre gardens back directly onto Prestbury Golf Course and are beautifully stocked with a wide variety of flowering shrubs, bushes and specimen trees. The stone set edged driveway leads around a water feature and box parterre. To the south of the house is an outside dining area adjoining a level lawn, ideal for croquet in the summer months. A further delightful private garden area lies beyond a mature beech hedge and has a pergola making an ideal vantage point from which to sit and enjoy the garden. **Location** Fieldhead stands at the head of a long private road, which runs parallel to Prestbury Golf Club Drive, and culminates at an electric gated entrance to the property. From there the drive passes the integral garaging and sweeps around the front of the house. The house stands in an elevated position adjoining the golf course and is less than 1 mile from the village centre. The historic village of Prestbury is renowned as being one of Cheshire’s prettiest and most day to day needs can be met by the local supermarket, specialist shops, restaurants and two well regarded pubs, The Legh Arms and The Admiral Rodney. The village has a well-regarded primary school and there are alternatives in Mottram St Andrew and Nether Alderley. At senior level, Fallibroome Academy is only ½ mile away. Private options include Kings School Macclesfield and Beech Hall Preparatory School. Alderley Edge schools The Ryleys and Beech Hall as well as Wilmslow Preparatory School are all within easy reach. At senior level many of the best regarded schools in the area have coaches from the village. A footpath accessed through the far end of the garden leads directly to The King’s School. The village takes great pride in its amenities including the thriving Tennis and Squash Club and Prestbury Cricket Club and there are many activity groups within the village community always keen to welcome new arrivals. The golf course is regarded amongst the best in Cheshire and there are many others within easy reach as well as health clubs, country clubs, liveries and country walks. The Peak National Park is just the other side of Macclesfield for those who enjoy more rugged countryside and pleasant walks may be taken along the nearby Bollin Valley. Beyond the village, Alderley Edge and Wilmslow are renowned for their shopping, restaurants and bars and Handforth Dean has a large Marks and Spencer; John Lewis at Cheadle is a 20 minute drive.
