Description
Description
A once-in-a-lifetime rental opportunity, this spectacular property in the West Cheshire countryside offers over 15,000 sq ft of luxury living, working, entertaining and leisure space in a picturesque 3.5 acre plot.
Designed by the renowned architect John Douglas in 1882, with recent high-specification modernisation throughout, the property enjoys an elevated position at the head of a sweeping double-gated driveway, with far-reaching views over the landscaped grounds, across the surrounding Cheshire countryside and to the Welsh Hills beyond.
The property is made up of the exquisite seven bedroom, 9869 sq ft main house with heated outdoor swimming pool; a separate two-storey coach house, ideal as additional accommodation, office and/or entertaining space; and a five-stable outbuilding. There is an additional 1200 sq ft one-bedroom cottage, which could be made available during the course of the next two years.
Spanning four levels, the main house offers a wonderful balance of dramatic neo-gothic architecture with a modern luxury interior. Feature turrets, stained glass and mullioned windows are complemented by contemporary interior design, underfloor heating, Biomass boiler and a top of the range kitchen. Opening into a grand entrance hallway with feature fireplace, wood-panelled surround and chandelier, the ground floor offers spacious and versatile living and entertaining space. Three separate reception rooms, previously arranged as a snug, drawing room and family room, provide ample living space, with various configuration options as required. The heart of the house is the exquisite dual-aspect living/kitchen/diner, comprising the superb, bespoke-built kitchen with island and electric Aga, and a spacious open-plan living and dining area, with wood-burning stove and two sets of French doors opening onto the patio and garden, with wonderful views beyond. As is the case throughout the property, the standard of finish and the quality of the fixtures, fittings and appliances is exceptional. There is a secondary front entrance off the main hallway, with adjacent access to the expansive basement, and a well-equipped utility room and store beyond the kitchen. The upper levels are home to seven generous double bedrooms, many with built-in wardrobes, feature windows and original fireplaces, plus four bath/shower rooms; a flexible-use room, previously used as a games room; and a first-floor laundry room with a charming spiral staircase link to the second floor. Within the curved walls of one of the turrets, the principle bedroom is a real highlight, boasting a luxurious dressing room, en suite bathroom with separate shower and spectacular South-Easterly views across the grounds.
Beyond the kitchen and utility room, across an attractive courtyard with raised-planter herb garden, is the Coach House. A fabulous property in its own right, The Coach House offers nearly 4000 sq ft of versatile space, providing excellent options for additional living accommodation, entertaining/leisure space and/or commercial-standard office space. Past a gym and changing room with showers, the entrance hallway opens into a 30ft reception room with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, bar area, pantry, and two sets of French doors opening onto the garden and swimming pool. It is a wonderful living and entertaining space, ideally complementing the adjacent swimming pool. A corner drawing room, with doors out to a vast chequered formal courtyard with a feature outdoor fire, provides a link to the rest of the coach house, which comprises five spacious, flexible-use rooms - two on the ground floor and three upstairs - along with a first floor kitchen and cloakroom. Offering potential for five more bedrooms, this space is also suitable as high quality office space, with owners amenable to a home business or personal commercial use under a separate contract.
The self-contained 1200 sq ft one bedroom cottage is situated opposite the coach house across the rear courtyard. It comprises a modern kitchen/diner, separate sitting room, shower room and a bedroom accessible via a spiral staircase. The cottage is partially renovated, but can be completed and included within the tenancy by separate negotiation within 24 months. If unwanted, the cottage will be locked off and excluded from the tenancy.
The grounds are wonderful. Landscaped gardens and rolling lawns wrap around all four sides of the property, with additional sections of woodland (home to an excellent children's play area), courtyard and paddock, along with the impressive heated swimming pool, which is completely private. There is an outbuilding comprising five traditional stables on the main site and ample parking for numerous vehicles on the front and rear courtyards.
