Set on a quiet bridle path in the heart of rural Woodford lies Bow Stones, a beautifully positioned family home that blends countryside tranquillity with refined modern living. Tucked away along an unadopted road and framed by mature hedging, this freshly rendered residence enjoys exceptional privacy, sweeping views and a peacefulness that is increasingly rare to find. Having been cherished by the same family for 24 years, the home carries a warmth and calmness that is felt from the moment you arrive. Throughout the home, the décor is immaculately finished - stylish, tasteful and thoughtfully curated to enhance the home’s calm and sophisticated feel. A generous driveway provides parking for three to four cars, leading to a welcoming store porch and the main entrance. Inside, the hallway immediately sets the tone: herringbone Amtico flooring flows through the hall, W/C and the open plan kitchen/ diner/ family space, all enhanced by electric underfloor heating for year round comfort. At the heart of the home lies a stunning open plan kitchen/diner/ living area designed for both everyday family life and effortless entertaining. The kitchen features Corian worktops, a Quooker tap, integrated sink, and an impressive suite of Miele appliances including a microwave, steamer, two full ovens, extractor, and a full size dishwasher. A 70/30 fridge freezer with ice maker and excellent storage complete this highly functional space. Two sets of French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to pour in and creating a seamless indoor–outdoor flow. A practical side door provides direct access to the side of the property. The living room offers a more intimate retreat, finished with a modern carpet, a gas fire with stone surround, and charming inglenook with side windows. A large bay window frames views of the garden, making this a serene place to unwind. A separate dining room, also carpeted, enjoys front facing views and sits conveniently beside the downstairs W/C. The staircase divides elegantly to the left and right. To the left, two elegant guest bedrooms await, one with front views and sliding robe wardrobes, the other overlooking the rear garden. A stylish shower room serves this side of the home inclusive of a digital rain-head shower. To the right, the principal bedroom enjoys panoramic views across the garden and beyond, capturing White Nancy, Shrigley Hall, Buxton and the rolling Derbyshire landscape. With fitted wardrobes and side windows, this room radiates tranquillity, sophistication, peacefulness and a deeply calming ambiance. The front bedroom also benefits from front views and fitted wardrobes, while the main bathroom on this level features electric underfloor heating, a fitted bath with rain head shower and floor to ceiling travertine tiles. An office/ could be bedroom with built in cupboards and desk provides an ideal workspace, complemented by an airing cupboard and excellent storage throughout. In total, the home offers four double bedrooms plus a dedicated office, ensuring flexibility for modern family living. The loft is insulated and partially boarded, and the property includes a garage, currently set up as a gym with up and over door, plumbing for a utility area and a Belfast sink. Outside, a side gate leads to a flagged patio, shed and lawned area. The garden is a true sanctuary, very private, non overlooked and rich with nature. Mature mixed hedges, three apple trees, a blossom tree and a conifer create year round colour and structure. Wildlife is abundant, with cows, sheep and even a peacock often seen in the neighbouring fields. A rear gate opens directly onto a public footpath, offering scenic walks to nearby villages including Poynton, Adlington and Bramhall. Separate outdoor garage storage adds further practicality. Bow Stones is more than a home, it is a peaceful rural retreat with breath-taking views, generous living spaces and a rare sense of privacy, all within easy reach of neighbouring villages and countryside walks. Located nearby Queensgate Primary, Woodford Primary, Bramhall High School and Poynton High School, and ideally positioned close to Woodford, Bramhall, Wilmslow and Poynton, this is a truly special setting for those seeking calm, comfort and a strong connection to nature. **The Current Owner Loves:** Peaceful, quiet location with amazing views to the front and the back with great sized gardens. Everywhere is accessible, whether it’s walking into Bramhall/Poynton or jumping on the bypass to the airport or motorways. All rooms are light, bright and spacious and the open plan kitchen is a particular favourite all year round. **We Have Noticed:** Exceptional rural setting with breath-taking views Beautifully presented and thoughtfully upgraded Private, nature-filled family living EPC Rating: C ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073460) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073461) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073462) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073463) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073464) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073465) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073466) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073468) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073470) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073472) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073475) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073476) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073478) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073480) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073482) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073484) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073486) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073488) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073490) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073491) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073493) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073496) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073497) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073500) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073502) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073505) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073507) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073508) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073510) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073513) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073514) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073517) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073519) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/90526272/1073520) ## Floorplans - ![All](/listings/photos/90526272/1073522) - All ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/90526272/1073525) - EPC 1 ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
