Description

This impressive 1930s five bedroom detached residence, extending to 1,965 sq ft, is a once in a generation home and stands as a fine example of the architectural charm and generous proportions that define houses of this era.

With scope for comprehensive renovation, reconfiguration or significant extension (subject to the relevant consents), it presents the ideal canvas for creating a truly exceptional long term family home.
Occupying an enviable position on one of Wilmslow’s premier roads, the house sits well back from Manchester Road behind a commanding frontage and broad block paved driveway leading to the attached garage. Established front gardens frame the property beautifully, enhancing its presence and kerb appeal.

Inside, the accommodation is bright, balanced and generously proportioned, with the expansive room sizes typical of a classic 1930s layout. The welcoming entrance hall gives access to a series of versatile reception rooms, including a formal living room and dining room each offering exciting prospects for redesign and immediate outdoor access. Large windows and high ceilings provide an attractive foundation for sympathetic modernisation. The breakfast room with access to the garden adjoins the fully fitted kitchen providing excellent space for informal dining and invites transformation into a contemporary open plan family hub if required. A w,c completes the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor, the home offers five well sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a delightful front aspect with a feature bay window overlooking the front garden. All bedrooms are currently served by a spacious shower room; however, the generous first floor layout provides excellent potential to reconfigure the accommodation and introduce an additional bathroom or en suite to better meet the demands of modern family living.

Externally, the property’s superb plot is one of its most compelling features. The extensive rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees and planting, provides exceptional privacy and a peaceful setting. The breadth of outside space offers enormous potential for landscaping, recreational enhancements, or future extension works.

Buyers seeking a Wilmslow property with genuine 1930s character, substantial spaces and exceptional scope will find this residence an outstanding prospect. Its prestigious location, superior plot and redevelopment potential combine to create a rare opportunity to craft a truly remarkable family home.
