## Description

One of the finest examples of a beautifully renovated period property in the Bowdon conservation area.

**Description**

Nestled in the picturesque Bowdon conservation area, the Red House is a shining example of an exceptionally well crafted and fully renovated six-bedroom detached period residence.

Dating back to 1903 and retaining a wealth of period features, the vendors have meticulously blended the elegance of this imposing Edwardian home with an exacting classical finish, lavishing attention to detail throughout.

The solid oak front door, adorned with original stained and leaded windows, opens into the timelessly elegant wood panelled and tiled entrance hall, reminiscent of a bygone era. The ground floor comprises generously sized rooms: a large open plan living dining kitchen, formal living room, dining room, executive study and utility boot room. Particular mention must be made of the open plan kitchen, diner which extends to over 500 sq ft. It is flooded with natural light and benefits from opening out onto a large sun terrace overlooking the garden below.

The kitchen, with underfloor heating includes a variety of integrated appliances by Fisher Paykel and Neff, including a double oven with warming drawer, wine fridge, dishwasher and both gas and induction hobs, all housed in bespoke wall drawer and base units, complemented by quartz stone work surfaces. A WC and cloakroom storage complete the ground floor.

Two staircases complete with brass hand rails provide access to the lower ground floor where there is a large family cinema room complete with stylish bar area, a games room, gymnasium, small utility area and WC. The vendors have cleverly retained and exposed some of the original brickwork in the hallway as a feature and all rooms have their own access to the terrace and gardens beyond. 

To the first floor, the principal suite is generously sized, offering stylish fitted wardrobes housed in a separate dressing area, and a sizeable en-suite with freestanding tub, shower and marble topped sink unit. The bedroom has the benefit of a lovely sit on balcony overlooking the gardens below. The first floor is completed by a further three bedrooms all of which are doubles, serviced by a large family bathroom. A further two double bedrooms, family bathroom and large open seating area can be found to the second floor. A versatile space which could be easily adapted for live in relatives.

Additional features include Sonos sound system, commercial Wi-Fi and Strongbox security system. What is evident whilst meandering through this beautiful family home is the use of quality materials, and seamless interior design, bringing a calming feel and cohesive flow throughout. 

Externally, electric gates provide access to a substantial gravel forecourt set well back from the road and offering parking for numerous vehicles, in addition there is a single garage with an electric car charging point.

The rear gardens have been cleverly designed to offer a good mixture of grass laid to lawn, raised sun deck and a large covered dining and seating area complete with electrics and lighting, perfect for outdoor entertaining on summer evenings. Beautifully stocked borders and hedging to the perimeters, ensure a high degree of privacy.
