Hough Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9

Superb re-development potential occupying a prime position on Hough Lane, extending to 5,428 Sq Ft set in a 0.46 acre west facing plot with countryside views yet close to the town centre.

Description

Barada enjoys an exceptional position on Hough Lane, ideally placed between Wilmslow and Alderley Edge and benefitting from a substantial and beautifully orientated plot of approximately 0.46 acres. The gardens extend westwards and back onto open agricultural land, allowing for uninterrupted evening light and pleasant southerly views towards The Edge.
The property itself extends to approximately 5,428 sq ft, arranged across a wide and interesting 1950s footprint that offers significant scope for re development or modernisation. The layout provides extensive and flexible accommodation. The central entrance leads into a spacious hall that naturally connects to the principal living areas. To the front, a generous double aspect living room enjoys views over the gardens and opens through to further reception space, ideal for both entertaining and family life. The kitchen is fitted with gloss cabinetry and a range of Neff and Electrolux ovens, and sits adjacent to a separate sitting room/dining room with a feature fire. A useful fitted utility room and WC are located near the kitchen, creating a practical service zone.

A standout feature of the home is the large indoor swimming pool complex, positioned in its own wing and accessed via an internal corridor. This impressive space includes a full-size tiled pool with sliding external doors opening to the garden, along with a changing/shower area/gym and WC, making it ideal for year round leisure use. The scale of this wing offers excellent renovation opportunities, either as a luxury wellness suite, gym, studio space or further accommodation.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the adjoining wing, well separated from the main living areas. There are six bedrooms, including a principal suite with fitted wardrobes, a dressing area and an en suite featuring an Armitage jacuzzi-style bath. Several of the additional bedrooms also offer fitted wardrobes, while one benefits from low level eaves storage. A modern family bathroom with both bath and shower serves the remaining rooms, and the landing provides further built-in storage. The overall arrangement demonstrates generous proportions typical of the period and presents an excellent foundation for reconfiguration to suit contemporary living requirements.

Externally, Barada sits well within its plot, with a wide frontage, long private driveway and gated entrance shown clearly on the site plan. The garden wraps around the property, with the largest expanse to the west, creating a private and attractive setting with uninterrupted views over neighbouring fields. The shape and depth of the plot, unusually large for the area make it particularly appealing for buyers considering extension, redevelopment or building a substantial family home in a highly desirable and valuable road where neighbouring properties command exceptional prices.

Barada offers a rare opportunity: a large 1950s house with a substantial footprint, spacious plot and prime address, now ready for a discerning buyer to remodel or transform into a landmark residence on one of Wilmslow’s most sought-after roads.
