Description

This immaculately presented five-bedroom, four-bathroom detached family home has been beautifully maintained and improved by the current owners, creating light, spacious and versatile accommodation finished to an exceptional modern standard. Particular mention must be made of the stunning open-plan living dining kitchen with central island, breakfast bar and bi-folding doors opening onto the private landscaped rear garden, the impressive principal bedroom suite with dressing room, contemporary en-suite shower room, air-conditioning and balconies to both the front and rear elevations as well as the four piece family family bathroom and thoughtfully converted loft space providing flexible, additional accommodation.
Occupying a quiet and peaceful position on The Circle, just off Mereside Road in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Mere, the property is within easy reach of local amenities, Knutsford Town Centre and excellent transport links connecting to the Northwest and beyond.
The property is approached via a large tarmacadam driveway with block-set edging, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles leading to the integral garage and front entrance. The front gardens feature a shaped lawn with mature hedging. The rear garden is a beautiful feature of the property, enjoying a private south-westerly aspect and generous proportions. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is complemented by deep, well-stocked borders filled with a variety of mature plants and shrubs, all enclosed by established hedging, trees and timber fencing. A large stone-flagged patio, complete with an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven and modern pergola is accessed directly from the bi-fold doors off the living dining kitchen and principal reception rooms, creating the perfect space for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining with family and friends.
