Description

Nestled along the prestigious Church Lane in the highly sought-after village of Gawsworth, 26 Church Lane is an exceptional detached family home that perfectly combines quality, comfort and an enviable countryside lifestyle. Set within beautifully established grounds and enjoying a remarkable degree of privacy, this superb residence offers approximately 1,700 sq ft of thoughtfully designed accommodation, presented to an impeccable standard throughout.
Approached via gated frontage and a generous driveway, the home immediately impresses with its striking refitted roof, mature landscaped gardens, expansive lawns and attractive kerb appeal.

The principal lounge is a wonderfully inviting room, centred around a charming wood-burning stove and framed by large windows that capture uninterrupted views of Cheshire's picturesque greenery. Flowing seamlessly into a further rear reception area and a delightful conservatory overlooking the gardens, the living spaces are perfectly suited to both everyday family life and relaxed entertaining. A separate second reception room provides excellent flexibility, whether utilised as a snug, home office, hobby room or occasional ground-floor bedroom.
At the heart of the home lies an impressive living kitchen, beautifully appointed with bespoke storage solutions, substantial oak worktop, a range cooker and breakfast bar. The adjoining dining and family area enjoys direct access to the garden through bi-fold doors, creating a wonderful connection between inside and out during the warmer months. A practical utility room and guest cloakroom further enhance the functionality of the ground floor.

The principal bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by an equally well-appointed family bathroom. High ceilings, attractive finishes and delightful countryside views contribute to the exceptional feel throughout.
Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight. With excellent degrees of privacy and beautifully established, they provide the perfect backdrop for family life, outdoor entertaining and peaceful relaxation. A substantial summer house/workshop adds further versatility, while mature planting creates colour, texture and interest throughout the seasons.
