Description
The property is entered via a large and welcoming entrance hall, with attractive period-style detailing and stairs rising to the first floor, together with a useful downstairs WC. To the front is a well-proportioned bay-fronted living room, featuring a fireplace and large bay window providing an abundance of natural light. To the rear is a separate family room, offering excellent flexibility as a second sitting room, playroom, home office or additional bedroom if required, with doors opening directly onto the rear garden.
The true centrepiece of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, where character features blend seamlessly with a contemporary finish. The kitchen is fitted with a range of striking dark cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a central island, while exposed timber beams add considerable character. The vaulted ceiling creates an excellent sense of volume and light, with roof glazing and numerous windows overlooking the garden. There is ample space for both formal dining and relaxed seating, making this an exceptional room for entertaining and family life, with doors providing direct access to the rear garden.
To the first floor there are three versatile rooms, currently arranged as two bedrooms and a large study/dressing room, together with a family bathroom and separate WC. The generous study/dressing room could readily be utilised as a fifth bedroom, depending upon the purchaser's requirements. The accommodation continues to the second floor where there are two further bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with roof windows and a modern en-suite shower room. The clever layout, together with two separate staircases providing access to the upper accommodation, creates a highly flexible arrangement which could suit a growing family, those working from home or buyers requiring space for guests.
Externally, the property is approached via a large driveway providing excellent off-road parking, with an integral garage positioned to the side. The rear garden is a particular feature of the property and has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private and colourful outdoor space. There is an extensive decked entertaining area beneath a covered pergola, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxing, which leads onto a central lawn surrounded by established borders, mature planting and a variety of trees and shrubs. There are also raised beds together with winding paths and attractive landscaped features creating a wonderful garden to enjoy throughout the year.
This is a highly individual home offering far more accommodation and flexibility than may initially be apparent, combining generous living space, character features, an exceptional kitchen and beautiful gardens in a sought-after location between Stockton Heath and Lymm. An internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate both the quality and versatility of the accommodation on offer.
