Description
Description - The property is approached via an attractive gravelled driveway, providing generous off-road parking and enclosed by perimeter fencing and a large gateway for added privacy.
Inside, a welcoming entrance hall leads to the main living areas. The principal living room is light and inviting, featuring an operational multi-fuel burning stove set on a granite hearth and French doors opening onto the rear garden, creating a warm yet airy atmosphere.
At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area; a versatile space designed for modern living. The contemporary kitchen features high-gloss cream cabinetry providing plentiful storage, a central island with breakfast bar, and a full range of integrated appliances, including an induction hob with extractor, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the terrace, providing a beautiful setting for alfresco dining and relaxation.
The principal bedroom enjoys garden views through French doors and includes wall length fitted wardrobes along with a stylish en-suite featuring a large walk-in shower. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a sleek family bathroom located off the entrance hallway, fitted with a shower-over-bath, vanity sink, and modern tiling throughout.
The gardens have been thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance and year-round enjoyment. The large lawn, mature hedging, and seating areas provide ideal spaces for family use or entertaining, making the most of the property’s sunny south-facing orientation.
Location - Located in the delightful village of semi-rural Pickmere, within close proximity to Pickmere Lake, this property offers immediate access to beautiful country walks, including a pleasant stroll to the local Red Lion public house. Just 5 miles away lies Knutsford, a charming town in Cheshire. Knutsford's town centre is unique and rich in history, featuring an array of boutique shops, a cinema, restaurants, and coffee shops.
One of the prime attractions of the area is its excellent communication links. The M6 and M56 motorways provide easy access to the North-West's major commercial centres, making commuting to Chester, Warrington, Liverpool, Manchester, and MediaCityUK convenient. Manchester International Airport and the city centre are also within close proximity. The area is served by several train stations, including Knutsford, Plumley, Lostock Gralam, and Wilmslow, all offering regular services to Manchester and Stockport, and connections to the main West Coast line for London.
The property also benefits from proximity to excellent educational facilities, with a wide selection of both state and private schools. Notable private schools such as The Grange School at Hartford, Cransley, and Terra Nova School are easily accessible, many providing private coach services. Local highly-rated schools include Wincham and Great Budworth Primary.
