New Platt Lane, Cranage, CW4

An impressive, large modern country house in a wonderful semi-rural location within immaculate, gated grounds of over three quarters of an acre, designed as a bespoke commission for the current owner and boasting excellent family accommodation including the flexibility of a detached guest cottage/annexe, in all over 4,500 sq ft.

Cranage is a popular and sought after semi-rural parish that lies between Knutsford and Holmes Chapel, is conveniently placed for Goostrey Village and has some pretty, surrounding countryside.

Orchard House is a very attractive house designed in a period style and constructed in the early 2000’s by the current owner for their own occupation. The house is well presented throughout and has a charming, period-style feel with the rooms enjoying lovely views over beautiful private gardens and grounds.

The entrance hall is a particularly impressive feature - double storey in height with a galleried staircase and french doors out to the rear terrace beyond the dining space. Other reception rooms include a dual aspect drawing room, a study and a huge open-plan kitchen dining living space with a family room to the rear overlooking the terrace, and a lovely hand painted kitchen with an Aga cooker.

There are four good sized bedrooms upstairs - the main bedroom with an en-suite, and the three further large double bedrooms share two bathrooms, one en suite. It’s a truly charming house in a lovely setting.

To the rear of the property is a large, detached double garage with an attached two storey annexe, completed in 2021 to a lovely standard, which includes an entrance hall and WC, and a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with a lovely hand painted style kitchen and its own private terrace to the rear. At first floor level is a large double bedroom and bathroom, it’s an excellent additional space for long-term guests or relatives and at nearly 900 sq ft feels very spacious.

The house is set well back from the road beyond a pair of remote control entry gates, and the gardens that surround the house are simply stunning. Landscaped lawns, mature trees and a wooded backdrop feel private and spacious in every aspect, and there is a large entertaining sun terrace which wraps around the rear of the house, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.
