Description

Positioned behind electric gates and intercom entry, St. Andrew House presents an impressive approach that reflects the symmetry and balance of its Georgian-inspired design. Constructed approximately nineteen years ago by the current owners, the property has been thoughtfully conceived to combine the proportions and detailing associated with classical architecture with the comfort and practicality expected of a contemporary family home. Marble Corinthian pillars frame the principal entrance, while Georgian-style sash windows by Reddish Joinery and traditional wooden shutters contribute to the property's strong architectural identity.

An impressive reception hall creates an immediate sense of arrival. Marble flooring, decorative cornicing, bespoke storage and a wrought-iron staircase combine to establish the quality of finish that continues throughout the house. A guest cloakroom is positioned conveniently off the hallway.
The principal reception accommodation is arranged around the ground floor and lower ground floor, creating a variety of spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The drawing room enjoys an elegant dual aspect and features solid oak flooring together with a Chesney Carrara marble fireplace providing a focal point. To the rear, an orangery-style dining room overlooks the gardens and opens directly onto a terrace, creating a natural connection with the outdoor environment.

At the centre of the home lies an impressive kitchen and dining room. Hand-painted cabinetry from Arthouse in Alderley Edge is complemented by Verdi Eucalyptus granite work surfaces and a substantial central island. Appliances include a Falcon range cooker together with a range of integrated Miele appliances, warming drawers, coffee machine, microwave and extensive refrigeration. A pantry, bespoke storage and an under-counter Sub-Zero wine refrigerator enhance practicality, while the adjoining dining space flows seamlessly into a garden room beneath an orangery roof. French doors open onto the patio, encouraging indoor and outdoor living throughout the seasons.

The lower ground floor provides an exceptional leisure and entertaining environment. A substantial lounge features two Chesney fireplaces, either end of the room, and French doors opening directly onto the lower terrace, creating an attractive setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. This level also incorporates a distinctive wine tasting and dining room with bespoke cabinetry and integrated Sub Zero wine storage, together with a private office, secondary kitchen, utility room, store and additional cloakroom facilities.

Bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper two floors. The first floor comprises three bedroom suites, each benefitting from its own en suite facilities. The principal suite overlooks the gardens and includes a walk-in wardrobe together with a substantial marble-appointed bathroom featuring a roll top slipper bath, walk-in shower and double vanity arrangement. The remaining two suites are equally well presented, each benefiting from bespoke fitted furniture, quality sanitaryware and marble finishes.

The second floor provides two further bedrooms positioned beneath the roofline and served by a well-appointed family bathroom. These rooms offer flexibility for family accommodation, guests or ancillary living space.
Externally, the property enjoys mature landscaped grounds which provide a considerable degree of privacy. Established trees, well-stocked borders, lawned areas and a series of terraces create an attractive garden setting. Multiple patio areas adjoining the principal reception rooms allow the gardens to become a practical extension of the living accommodation. A sheltered courtyard serves the annexe and provides a further outdoor entertaining area.

A significant feature of the property is the detached self-contained annexe, constructed approximately seven years ago. Extending to approximately 2,022 sq ft, the annexe provides highly versatile accommodation comprising a lounge, open-plan kitchen by Masterclass Kitchens, dining and living room, utility room and cloakroom to the ground floor, with two en suite bedrooms above.
