12 HOUGH LANE

A beautifully renovated 6,343 Sq Ft Arts & Crafts home offering a rare combination of privacy, leisure convenience, just moments from the heart of Wilmslow, set in a generous 0.5 acre plot.

Description

This 1928 Arts & Crafts house, with its bay window frontage, sits on a picturesque country road well-placed between Wilmslow and Alderley Edge. The property is part of a small collection of period homes, many with Yorkstone tiled
roofs. Over time, the house has been extended at the rear and side, carefully modernised while respecting its architectural origins. Velfac double-glazed windows are a key feature, offering high energy efficiency with attractive profiles that complement the home’s character. The entrance opens into a
welcoming hallway, with a spacious lounge to the left, featuring an inglenook fireplace and Chilli Penguin stove. To the right is a snug, which enjoys morning sun from its southwest aspect. The ground floor also includes a WC, a boot room with Karndean flooring, and solid oak doors throughout.

The living spaces are anchored by a bright, airy kitchen, dining, and lounge area with double-aspect sliders that open directly to the garden. The Neptune kitchen is a statement in chic white and grey, with a 3.2 metre silestone island, Siemens appliances, and an Italian ILVE range oven. To the left is a
study, while to the right are the utility room, laundry, and access to the indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna, topped by a mezzanine currently used as a lounge. The floor-to-ceiling windows flood this area with light. Upstairs, five bedrooms offer generous proportions and ample storage, with
the principal suite featuring a dressing room and an en suite with a freestanding bath and walk-through shower. The thing about this house is that it is all about and lifestyle. From the interior layout to the quality of materials to the wonderful
garden and leafy location, it is made for family life.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
The garden is an impressive feature of this home, extending from the left side and around to the back. A large Yorkstone terrace runs the length of the house, seamlessly connecting the kitchen and swimming pool to the outdoor space. The mature garden with fabulous lawn is framed by a laurel
hedge, providing privacy and a sense of seclusion. Ideal for
entertaining, it offers ample space for gatherings. The front of the property is equally appealing, with an attractive archway entrance, complementing the overall charm.
