East Downs Road, Bowdon, Cheshire, WA14

'Summer Hill' is a fine Victorian semi detached home that is located in what is undoubtedly one of the area's most popular and prestigious settings. The property has been skilfully modernised over the years to create a stylish fit and finish that sits comfortably alongside the striking original architectural features.

The accommodation is incredibly versatile and extends to over 3500 sq ft and the sense of space is accentuated by the 12' ceiling heights in many of the rooms. At ground floor the welcoming entrance hall leads to an elegant bay fronted living room with feature cast iron fireplace. The living room enjoys a pleasing outlook over the front lawn. There is a separate dining room with parquet wood flooring and a sashed window to the rear elevation.

The kitchen is very much the 'hub of the house' and has been fitted with an extensive range of high quality base and eye level units with marble work tops, integrated appliances and an Aga range oven. There is ample space for a table and six chairs and a crittall door leads directly to the recently re-fitted pantry.

At first floor the principal bedroom extends the full width of the property (20'8 x 14'4) and has a stylish dressing room with fitted wardrobes as well as a contemporary en suite shower room. The excellent sized second bedroom also has its own luxurious en suite bathroom. At second floor there are three additional double bedrooms, perfect for those with growing families, that are arranged around a spacious landing with a beautiful stained glass skylight window. The second floor bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.

The property benefits from fully converted basements that provide excellent living/leisure accommodation and prospective purchasers could, subject to some minor adjustments, create a self contained apartment with its own direct access. The lower ground floor accommodation
includes an impressive wine cellar with exposed brick walls and halogen lighting, a home office/study and a lounge/family room. There is also a second kitchen/utility room that is fitted with a range of base units and cupboards and a stylish shower room.

The property is set well back from the road and is approached via a wrought iron gate with a pathway leading to the front door. There is a beautifully maintained south facing lawned garden that is fringed by mature hedging and well stocked borders. There is also a walled courtyard to the rear of the property with direct access to the kitchen and lower ground floor accommodation.
