## Description

*WATCH OUR VIDEO TOUR* A private sanctuary in the heart of Wilmslow Park, where mature gardens, exceptional family accommodation & a lifestyle of rare convenience combine.

**Description**

Tucked away within the leafy seclusion of prestigious Wilmslow Park, The Bows is a remarkable gated residence occupying one of the area's most discreet and sought-after settings. Hidden behind electric wrought iron gates and enveloped by mature landscaping, the property enjoys a rare sense of peace and privacy. Approached via a York stone driveway providing extensive parking and access to the detached double garage, the house immediately impresses with its handsome Cheshire brick elevations and attractive symmetry. The true scale of the accommodation only becomes apparent upon entering the welcoming reception hall.

Extending to almost 3,600 sq ft, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners, successfully combining traditional family living with modern technology and sustainability measures. Beautifully proportioned rooms enjoy excellent natural light, garden views and a seamless flow, making the home equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining.

The principal reception rooms are a particular highlight. The elegant living room centres around a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and enjoys a double aspect with a picturesque bow window overlooking the front grounds and French doors opening onto the rear gardens. Flowing seamlessly into the dining room, it provides an ideal setting for both relaxed family living and entertaining.

At the heart of the home is the magnificent bespoke David Lisle kitchen, beautifully crafted with hand-painted cabinetry, Kashmir granite work surfaces and a substantial central island. A comprehensive range of premium appliances includes a WiFi-enabled electric AGA, integrated Neff appliances, Bosch dishwasher and extensive storage solutions. Adjoining breakfast and dining areas enjoy delightful garden aspects, while a matching David Lisle utility and boot room provides additional storage and practical secondary access.

Inspired by the charm of a luxury Alpine retreat, the owners have curated a distinctive ski chalet atmosphere within the leisure wing of the property. The versatile family room has been transformed into a bespoke ski bar, creating a sophisticated setting for entertaining, while the adjoining sitting/games room, complete with a contemporary Gazco feature fireplace, provides a warm and welcoming environment for relaxation. Rich character and thoughtful design combine to create a unique lifestyle space. Adjoining this room is a fitted home office with a bow window framing the front outlook. Completing the ground floor is an elegantly presented cloakroom/WC.

The first floor is accessed via two staircases, resulting in a highly adaptable arrangement that enhances both privacy and functionality. The principal suite benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed contemporary en suite shower room. Several bedrooms feature bespoke fitted furniture and integrated study areas, while one wing offers almost self-contained accommodation with additional bedrooms, dressing facilities, shower room and balcony access. This arrangement is ideally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, an au pair suite or independent teenage living. The bathrooms have been finished to a high standard, incorporating contemporary suites, walk-in showers, a freestanding bath, quality tiling and WiFi-controlled heating systems.

Externally, The Bows truly comes into its own. The south-easterly facing rear gardens enjoy exceptional privacy, with mature specimen trees, established boundaries and expansive lawns creating a beautiful backdrop. Generous stone terraces provide ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the gardens offer a stunning green outlook from many of the principal rooms.

The property also incorporates an impressive range of modern enhancements, including zoned heating, solar technology, a recently installed Worcester boiler, dual high-pressure water systems, CCTV surveillance, monitored alarm systems and WiFi-enabled controls throughout.

The Bows represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family residence within one of Wilmslow's most coveted and discreet locations. Beautifully presented, highly adaptable and rich in character, it offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience and lifestyle.
