Chelford Road, Knutsford, WA16

Haysville is an impressive and handsome detached family house, constructed by Browns of Wilmslow in 1928 and offered for sale for the first time in around 50 years.

Situated in a superb position on the edge of town, within the Legh Road conservation area, and overlooking Toft Cricket Club and Booths Hall at the front, the landscaped gardens are glorious, extending to circa 1.25 acres in all, with a private approach and long sweeping gravelled driveway. The lawned gardens are principally to two sides of the house, with several large terraces to the south and west elevations, and a charming outdoor heated swimming pool is tucked within a walled and mature beech hedge enclave to the south west of the house.

The accommodation is set out over two floors, is a superb layout for the family, and extends to around 3000 square feet in the main house, which has been very well maintained over the years including notably a complete re roof in 2015. The house offers great scope for enlargement and further alteration (subject to planning permission) having been extended little during the present owners occupation. Internally there are four ground floor reception rooms, including two main formal rooms, a double aspect drawing room and a large dining room, which sit astride the oak panelled reception hall. Two further secondary rooms include a study and a morning room off the rear lobby, and the spacious kitchen/breakfast room with Aga has space for a large table, and there is an adjacent rear hall, wc and utility room.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms, the main suite overlooks the gardens and has an en suite bathroom, and the dressing room that lies off the landing could be integrated into this suite if required. Four further large double bedrooms are served by two bathrooms, a family bathroom with a shower over the bath, and a separate shower room.

There are a good deal of very useful original outbuildings including a two storey garage building with an integral ground floor store and excellent first floor room, a former billiard room we suspect. A mixture of wood stores, potting sheds and former stables to the rear provide good scope for a variety of different purposes.

The Legh Road conservation area is the foremost residential district in town, home to some stunning contemporary and period homes, but few have the presence and space of grounds that Haysville boasts, plots in excess of an acre here are indeed unique today.
