Description

A handsome modern detached family home, sitting in a private half acre plot between Knutsford and Holmes Chapel, offering superbly appointed accommodation including four generous bedrooms, three bathrooms and three spacious reception rooms, set within private landscaped grounds enjoying partial farmland views.  
The Gables is a substantial modern detached family home, offering superb accommodation, private mature grounds and countryside views, with convenient access to the village of Goostrey, as well as Holmes Chapel, and the larger towns of Knutsford and Northwich, which are both less than 15 minutes drive.
The property is accessed via a long block paved driveway, which sweeps around the front of the house, enclosing beautiful, landscaped gardens and leading to a large detached double garage which is conveniently position at the side of the house.
The gardens extend around the property, with the rear garden being a particular highlight, enclosed by mature tree lined boundaries that frame the meticulously landscaped gardens, and a charming wild flower garden which extends to the side of the house. 
This impressive purpose-built home, constructed approximately 20 years ago, offers superbly proportioned accommodation laid across two thoughtfully designed floors.
Ground Floor
As well as a large kitchen reception space there are two principal reception rooms, both accessed from the impressive reception hallways, including a magnificent drawing room located to the front of the house, featuring a stunning stone fireplace and dual-aspect windows.
The second reception room is currently used as a cinema room, and would easily adapt as a second sitting room or a formal dining room, with windows overlooking both the side and rear gardens.
A versatile study offers the perfect space for working from home, complete with an attractive front-facing bay window that creates a light flooded alcove large enough to house a desk.
The spectacular kitchen-dining area showcases a generously proportioned multi-purpose space, with traditional cabinetry complimented by striking black granite worktops and a peninsula island that creates a partial divide to a cosy nook, perfect for taking time out whilst admiring the lovely views over the gardens. There is space for a large dining table, and premium appliances include a multi-oven ‘Aga’ range cooker that provides additional heating and comfort to the heart of this lovely family home.
Patio doors open from the kitchen onto a private terrace complete with a brick built barbeque that can also be used as a garden fireplace, perfect for entertaining long into the summer evenings.
Practical additions include a separate utility room, convenient downstairs WC, and useful under-stair storage.
First Floor
On the first floor level there are four generous bedrooms all accessed from a spacious central landing.
The master suite is particularly large in size, with front facing windows enjoying farmland views, extensive built-in storage, and a walk-in wardrobe.
The luxurious ensuite featuring marble-effect tiling and a double size shower enclosure.
The second bedroom offers generous double proportions with garden views and a quality ensuite shower room.
The two remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, fitted and finished in a matching style to the en-suites, complete with both a bath and a separate shower.
The Perfect Lifestyle Choice
The Gables represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in one of Cheshire's most desirable locations. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, a family gathering place, or an impressive entertaining space, this remarkable property delivers on every level.
