Description

No Chain. An impressive and substantial four double bedroom, three bathroom extended detached home, beautifully tucked away within a highly desirable cul-de-sac just off prestigious Legh Road. Approaching 2,600 sq.ft. approx. of well-appointed and particularly versatile accommodation, the property is further enhanced by a generous sized private rear garden, large private driveway and integral double garage, making it an outstanding family home
Situated on Oakleigh, a well-regarded residential cul-de-sac bordering the prestigious Legh Road Conservation Area, the property enjoys an enviable position close to what is widely recognised as Knutsford’s premier residential address. Legh Road is renowned for its exceptional homes, mature surroundings, and highly sought-after setting, while a number of neighbouring properties have been comprehensively redeveloped or significantly extended in recent years, creating an increasingly impressive enclave of outstanding residences.
The home has been thoughtfully updated and enhanced over recent years, with highlights including a striking galleried entrance hall, fabulous principal bedroom with Juliette balcony set within a feature window, well-appointed family bathroom, stylish downstairs shower room and a superb dual-aspect living room with log burner.
The extended dining kitchen forms the heart of the home and provides an excellent space for everyday family life and entertaining. There is also exciting potential, subject to the necessary planning consents, to open the kitchen into the adjoining family room, creating a generously proportioned open-plan living, dining and kitchen space overlooking the rear garden - further enhancing an already impressive day-to-day living environment.
Upstairs, the light-filled galleried landing is a real focal point and provides access to four generous double bedrooms, three of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a striking feature window, Juliette balcony and en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom with twin wash basins.
Externally, the property is approached via a substantial private driveway providing excellent off-road parking and leading to the integral double garage. To the rear, the generous and well-maintained garden enjoys a high degree of privacy, providing an attractive setting for outdoor entertaining, relaxation, and family life.
This is an exciting opportunity to secure a substantial and highly versatile detached home in an elite and exceptionally sought-after Knutsford location, with the added benefit of considerable scope to further reconfigure and extend, subject to the necessary planning consents.
