Description

Ash Tree House is a striking modern country home set along the peaceful and highly regarded Blakeley Lane in Mobberley. Extending to approximately 3,731 sq ft and set within around 2.5 acres of beautifully curated grounds, paddock land and a natural pond, the property blends refined contemporary living with the tranquillity of the Cheshire countryside, while remaining just a few miles from Knutsford’s vibrant centre.

Upon entering the house, the generous hallway immediately sets the tone for the quality found throughout, opening into the breath taking open plan kitchen and family room. This magnificent space has been designed with both everyday living and largescale entertaining in mind, featuring Siemens appliances, three ovens, a built in coffee machine, a Quooker boiling water tap and a large central island set against elegant herringbone flooring. Fullwidth bi folding doors open directly onto the terrace, allowing the space to flow effortlessly into the garden, while an excellent walk in larder provides additional functionality. The kitchen leads seamlessly into the light-filled orangery with bar, a wonderful room for dining or relaxation with views across the grounds.

A dedicated cinema room offers a luxurious retreat for film nights, positioned conveniently off the main living area. The principal reception room, a beautifully proportioned dual aspect living room, provides an elegant setting for formal entertaining. Completing the ground floor is a quiet and private home office, a wel lappointed utility room, a WC and useful storage areas, creating a layout perfectly suited to modern family life.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite has a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens, and en-suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms are all generous in size and served by a family bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, children or additional work-from-home spaces.

The house sits beautifully within its 2.5-acre plot, which includes a paddock ideal for equestrian use or hobby farming, and a natural pond that enhances both the landscape and the sense of rural tranquillity. A superb outdoor kitchen and entertaining terrace extends the living space during the warmer months, making the property perfect for alfresco dining and summer gatherings. Expansive lawns, established planting and a private driveway with ample parking complete this exceptionally well-balanced and inviting home.

Situated in one of Cheshire’s most desirable rural locations, Ash Tree House enjoys the best of both worlds: peaceful countryside surroundings paired with excellent access to Mobberley’s characterful pubs, scenic walks and community amenities, along with Knutsford’s boutique shops, restaurants and schools. Manchester Airport and major transport routes are also within easy reach, making the property ideal for both commuters and those seeking an idyllic lifestyle setting.
