An exceptional bespoke built home in an elevated and private setting off one of the village's premier roads extending to 5299 sq ft with four bedrooms in a generous plot.

Description

Witches Gate occupies a commanding position set high above Macclesfield Road, just half a mile from Alderley Edge village, behind secure oak gates and approached via a sweeping brick-set driveway.

This contemporary residence, reimagined by renowned architects Kimble Roden, offers a compelling blend of crisp architectural lines, beautifully proportioned spaces and a refined palette of natural materials.

At approx. 5,300 sq ft over three floors, the house provides versatile living and entertaining spaces, all finished to an exceptional standard. A key focus of the design has been the use of space, light and flow, resulting in a home that is as elegant as it is functional.

The property has been finished to exacting standards with high specification features including Crestron AV system, underfloor heating to the principal living areas, wireless surround system throughout, bespoke kitchen with Siemens appliances and Duravit and Hansgrohe bathrooms. Premium finished include plantation shutters throughout, Karndean flooring, aluminium bifold doors, customised bedroom furniture and media units, luxurious outdoor terraces with decking and firepits and air conditioning to some rooms. The lower ground floor provides indulgent entertaining facilities with a generous fitted utility room/additional kitchen and WC.

On the main level, the principal living accommodation is arranged to maximise light and connection with the south-facing rear terrace with access to the principal bedroom suites. To the top floor there is an additional bedroom suite.

The property enters into the lower ground floor into a spectacular galleried reception hall, with limestone flooring and contemporary oak staircase with glass balustrade, with tremendous light levels, creating a lasting first impression and sets the tone for the rest of the property. An impressive media room lies off the hallway with an integrated AV system, media wall with electric fire, bespoke fitted bar with dishwasher and wine cooler. Off the media room is home gymnasium or games room and a WC. The games room leads through to the integral garage with a large glass divide between the two rooms. Also to the lower ground floor is a generous fully fitted utility room, with dishwasher, plenty of storage and space for a washing machine and dryer. Completing this floor is an additional WC, boiler room and server room.

To the ground floor lies an impressive versatile study/landing area framed by large picture windows creating an open plan and spacious living area. Leading off the landing is the vaulted drawing room which is a central showpiece to the home, flooded with natural light from large picture windows and finished with wide oak flooring, a media unit with minimalist fireplace and soaring ceilings. Double doors lead into the bespoke contemporary kitchen which is both stylish and practical, centred around a substantial island with granite surfaces and finished with sleek white gloss cabinetry with electric opening systems and Siemens appliances. Limestone flooring flows seamlessly to the terrace via full width bifold doors, creating a superb indoor outdoor entertaining space. There are three superior bedroom suites to this floor. The stylish principal suite is a sanctuary of calm, with a living area, dual dressing rooms with bespoke cabinetry and a luxurious en suite bathroom with bath and walk in shower, finished with floor to ceiling Travertine tiling. The other two bedrooms each benefit from their own stylish bathrooms, all finished to exacting standards with Duravit sanitaryware, natural limestone and contemporary fittings.

A fourth bedroom or study is tucked away on the top floor, making an ideal guest suite or home office, with dormer windows framing treetop views, extensive eaves storage and a dedicated bathroom with separate shower and bath.

Witches Gate sits within approximately 0.4 acre of landscaped grounds. Solid oak gates between stone pillars provide a sense of arrival, leading to a driveway edged with dry-stone walls, established rhododendrons and flowering borders. Lawns wrap around the property, creating both privacy and year-round colour. The south-facing rear terrace is a highlight with a combination of limestone, timber decking and flagstone paving forming a series of intimate zones for dining and relaxation. Bifold doors from the kitchen and principal rooms open directly onto the terrace, with climbing plants softening the stonework and creating a private and atmospheric setting.
