Windlehurst Road, High Lane, SK6

Oak House is one of High Lane’s most recognisable homes, set within almost half an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens. Originally built in the early 1900s, this cottage has been thoughtfully restored and extended over the years to create a generous family home.

Every room has its own personality, with proportions that hint at the home’s heritage. The sitting room forms the heart of the house, centred around a striking feature fireplace, perfect for winter evenings. Bi-fold doors open out to the rear bay, filling the room with natural light and connecting it seamlessly to the garden. Just next door, the morning / breakfast room, with its tiled floors and French doors, leads to a covered barbecue and seating area.

The kitchen is finished with quality fittings and stone flooring, offering a great space for everything from family breakfasts to entertaining friends. There’s also a well-equipped utility room, keeping the main space clutter-free and functional.

The ground floor includes a further reception room currently used as a bedroom. It’s positioned just off the entrance hallway and next to a modern shower room, making it ideal for guests or as a home office - could even serve as dependant accommodation.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three generous bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly special, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, bespoke wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are spacious and versatile and there's also a fourth room currently used as a Study. The family bathroom offers a touch of luxury, featuring a freestanding clawfoot bath and a walk-in shower.

The gardens are a real highlight, private, mature, and beautifully designed. A small brook winds through the grounds, adding to the sense of calm, while a wishing well, large decked terrace, and hot tub area make it a lovely place to unwind. Two outbuildings offer plenty of flexibility: one has been turned into a brilliant bar, while the other serves as a workshop but could be adapted for different uses. There’s also a detached garage (the building at the front), ample parking, and secure electric gates.

Perfectly located close to the amenities of High Lane and nearby Marple, Oak House offers the best of both worlds, peaceful countryside living with great access to local shops, schools, and transport links.
