Plumley Moor Road, Plumley, Knutsford, Cheshire, WA16

Exquisite renovated cottage in landscaped plot with self-contained annexe and triple garage.

Description

This exceptional residence blends heritage charm with modern luxury across multiple living spaces, landscaped gardens, and superb ancillary accommodation — including a two-bedroom apartment above a triple garage

The first entrance opens via a front storm porch into the original cottage, where beautifully refurbished exposed beams, open fires/log burners, and new colonial grid-style windows capture its period character. Three versatile reception rooms — currently arranged as lounge, family/dining room, and sitting/playroom — offer flexibility to suit your lifestyle. French doors from the lounge and sitting room lead to outdoor areas, with the rear sitting room opening onto a decked terrace beneath a metal-roofed gazebo with heater, creating an inviting alfresco living space.

From the family room, stairs rise to three front-facing bedrooms, one used as a dressing room, serviced by a sleek modern shower room.

A second front storm porch leads into a stunning orangery, crowned by a dramatic glass lantern roof and flooded with natural light. This space flows into the heart of the home — a dual-aspect, open-plan kitchen/living area. Featuring front and rear garden views, another lantern window, extensive fitted cabinetry, a generous island with breakfast bar, premium integrated appliances, a four-oven gas-fired Aga with hobs, and parquet-style flooring, this is a true centrepiece for family life and entertaining.

Bi-fold doors from the orangery open onto a rear deck with pergola and electric bladed roof for year-round enjoyment.
Formal Lounge & Bedroom Suite

Up two steps and through glass double doors, you’ll find an impressive formal lounge spanning over 22 feet, with windows on all four walls, including floor-to-ceiling glazing to the east. At the far end, a staircase leads to a luxurious bedroom suite with freestanding bath, en suite shower room, and indulgent proportions — perfect as a principal bedroom or opulent guest suite.

The Lodge
Above the triple garage, The Lodge offers nearly 600 sq ft of beautifully finished accommodation. With its own entrance and cloakroom at ground level, stairs lead to an elegant open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, two double bedrooms, and a stylish shower room. High-end finishes include recessed shelving, LED lighting, and a wine fridge — ideal for guests, extended family, or even converting to a home office suite.

Gardens & Outbuildings
Landscaped gardens wrap around all sides of the property, with manicured borders, mature trees, and three distinct seating areas (two covered with heat lamps), a water feature, and a hidden children’s play area. Electric security gates ensure privacy, while the westerly lawn offers scope for further development, with existing plans drawn up for a multi-use garden room/leisure suite.
