A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning period house on the exclusive Mottram Hall Estate, enjoying commanding and picturesque views across the acclaimed Mottram Hall golf course. This exceptional home embodies a lifestyle of heritage living, peaceful surroundings and idyllic country walks, offering a setting that is both majestic and truly unrivalled.

Mottram House is believed to have been built in the late 16th century, with later additions, and is constructed of timber elevations on a sandstone plinth, surmounted by an attractive graduated Kerridge stone roof. This Grade II Listed, semi detached cottage was formerly the farmhouse to the main hall and has been sympathetically converted into a stylish and spacious three bedroom home, rich in character and timeless charm. It is a unique Jacobean masterpiece, where English heritage is celebrated throughout.

The stunning period façade is only amplified by the elegance of the interior. Original exposed beams to walls and ceilings, solid oak latch doors, and a striking barley twist solid oak staircase create an immediate sense of authenticity and warmth. The living room is centred around a wood burning fire, framed by original beams, while Crittall and hardwood windows allow natural light to flow through the home.

The first floor offers three generous double bedrooms, all benefitting from vaulted ceilings that enhance the sense of space, light and grandeur. The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes and a well appointed en suite shower room, while the family bathroom is finished with Royal Doulton sanitaryware, echoing the quality and heritage found throughout the home.

Outside, the property is surrounded by what can only be described as a paradise of walled gardens, which define both the character and lifestyle of Mottram House. To the front, there is a resin set parking and turning area, stone steps to the entrance, and a double garage with water and electricity. A stone pathway leads around to the side elevation, where the majority of the gardens unfold, revealing expansive areas of level lawn framed by mature boundaries and enjoying tranquil views across the golf course.

To the rear, accessed through a charming wicket gate set within an old brick arch, lies a yew hedged and fully enclosed walled garden, the true heart of the grounds. This secluded space offers an atmosphere of calm and privacy, perfectly defining the garden as a sanctuary and a paradise. A stone terrace provides the ideal setting for al fresco dining, accessed directly from the kitchen and study/playroom. Beyond, a further wicket gate leads to the communal gardens of Mottram Hall Farm, with access to shared stables and additional storage, both benefitting from electricity.

The home is surrounded by delightful countryside walks, including a scenic stroll into Prestbury of approximately forty minutes, Mottram House perfectly balances rural tranquillity with accessibility to Alderley Edge and the surrounding area.
