Moss Lane, Ollerton, WA16

This fabulous and substantial detached country residence stands in glorious landscaped gardens and grounds of 7.4 acres or thereabouts, and occupies an outstanding semi-rural position on the outskirts of Knutsford. The house itself features a wonderful expanse of superb, highly adaptable accommodation, approaching 5,000 square feet, providing ample space for luxurious living and entertaining.

Originally a farmhouse with large separate outbuilding, the two have been seamlessly linked by a large entertaining family kitchen with vaulted beamed ceiling, re-fitted in recent years with a stunning, high-quality bespoke kitchen designed by David Lisle and featuring Gaggenau appliances. The kitchen forms the centre of the house and has formal and informal rooms on opposite sides, providing a practical layout, ideal for family occupation.

The original farmhouse provides formal living, with a grand entrance hall featuring an open fireplace, spacious inner dining hall with imposing staircase, living room with wood burning stove, adjoining playroom/home office and a garden room that has wonderful views over the formal gardens. The first floor to this portion of the house, provides four bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the principle bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room.

On the opposite side of the kitchen is a utility room, excellent laundry room, superb informal lounge with galleried landing above and arched windows and French doors that provide access to the gardens. Beyond the lounge is a sitting room and adjoining dining kitchen, making this an ideal set-up for a dependent relative wanting there own space and independence. To the first floor are three good bedrooms, all with modern en-suite facilities and one with a fitted dressing area.

To the rear of the house is a detached single storey outbuilding, which has been converted to provide further ancillary accommodation/annex in the form of a living room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room. This building has been utilised as a home office but would equally make a suitable annex for a teenager or dependent relative.

The gardens are truly impressive, having been thoughtfully designed and beautifully landscaped to provide superb entertaining areas, including a covered outdoor kitchen set-up, located over a feature pond and waterfall via a timber bridge. A large porcelain laid terrace provides an idyllic setting for outdoor dining. There is a specially designed children's play area as well as a vegetable garden with raised corten steel edged beds, integrated irrigation system and modern greenhouse.

For those with equestrian interests, this property offers excellent stabling and adjoining paddocks that extend to approximately six acres, providing ample space for a number of horses.
