Monks Lane, Audlem

Immersed in the rolling Cheshire countryside is this unique architect designed adaptation and conversion of a motor house formerly garaging six vintage cars. The stunning detached accommodation has three bathrooms and four bedrooms. Constructed of pebble dash finished elevations with a striking material palette of arched oak window/door openings and a steeply pitched pyramid styled square hipped tile roof surmounted by a leaded cupola tower and finial.

The internal accommodation extends to approximately 2515 sq. ft over two beautifully finished floor levels.
A mature well-stocked garden wraps around this outstanding family home and includes a 475 sqft double garage/ store and a generous parking provision accessed through automated timber entrance gates.

The location is excellent for enjoying both the highlights of rural living and nearby Village life.

General Remarks - Comment by Mark Johnson @ Baker Wynne & Wilson.

"A wonderful visual and physical flow of spaces"

Conveniently positioned along a tranquil country lane approximately half a mile from the centre of Audlem Village lies this superb, detached individual home. Tucked away out of sight, on arrival Redwood quietly reveals itself in the form of its extraordinary rare aesthetic appeal. Modern light and sociable living spaces are complemented by the arched top oak doors which open directly onto the various terraces, all directly contributing towards a wonderful setting to enjoy coffees, long alfresco summer lunches, and evening sundowners.

The professionally landscaped gardens form an integral part of the overall experience, ensuring the outside spaces are enjoyed as much as the luxurious interior.
At the front there is a welcoming terrace for morning coffee, while at the back the stone patio can be used for al fresco dining. The garden is cocooned by greenery, interspersed with colour, raised beds, and features relaxing corners to rest, sit and mull.
