WHEN TWO WORLDS COMBINE SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL HAPPENS AND WHAT A TREAT WE HAVE TO OFFER THOSE OF YOU SEEKING MODERN AND COMFORTABLE! THE OLD RATION HOUSE IS A HYBRID OF HISTORY WITH A LUXURIOUS FEEL AND A READY TO WEAR ATTITUDE!

This is a truly splendid conversion of over 4000 sqft of Edwardian property steeped in history, and purported in WW2 to even have been a house where the distribution of war time rations were made available to the residents of Congleton!!!

Reception hall. Drawing room. Sitting room. Study. Boot room. Cloakroom. Gigantic open plan dining kitchen. Four cellar rooms. First floor with 5 bedrooms (four being large doubles.) Two full bathrooms. Second floor master suite bedroom with walk in dressing room and en suite bathroom.

Sophisticated courtyard terrace. 1100 sq ft of private secure gated walled driveway for up to 4 vehicles.

An Edwardian town house conversion gushing with sophistication. The owners have kept the integrity of the exterior while fully renovating and modernising the interior.

Nothing short of the 'wow' factor is immediately evident within a few seconds of entering this delightful family home. The current vendors have lovingly and tastefully renovated this Edwardian town house. A luxurious home, which although offering a magnitude of extended accommodation, still retains a warm homely feel. Attention to detail has been carefully undertaken and consideration has been made not to lose the soul of this home by cleverly expanding its already generous proportions to create, we feel, a most amazing and commendable conversion and refurbishment that one has seen for many years.

The stone portico delivers you to the tall double entrance doors which open into the impressive reception hall with twin staircase to the first floor. The three reception rooms consist of a formal drawing room with bay window and fireplace housing wood burning stove, sitting room with again the original bay window, study; an extremely masculine room with deep colours and wood panelling. There is a boot room with panelling and plentiful ‘secret storage’ and cloakroom.

The main heart of the house is the large open plan and newly extended living dining kitchen, with two distinct areas, firstly the living dining area with feature recessed fireplace, which then opens into the cavernous kitchen with a distinct luxurious industrial feel with a high pitched roof line, and extensive grey panelled kitchen units, deep pan drawers over which are solid oak preparation surfaces, an array of quality integrated appliances to include three ovens, wine cooler, two dishwashers and fridge freezer to name but a few. Centrally is a large island with matt granite preparation surfaces having two stainless steel sink units inset and breakfast bar with seating for four. Double glazed French doors on piano hinges fold back entirely and open into the outside courtyard. The whole kitchen and living dining area are complemented with underfloor heating. Door leads to the cellars, split into four rooms comprising a gym, utility room and a workshop and storage chamber both housing a boiler which provide independent heating for each side of the house.

The first floor is accessed via twin staircases which meet on the central landing, from which are FIVE bedrooms, four of which are generous doubles. This floor is serviced by two bathrooms with full suites to include freestanding baths and separate showers. The central landing provides a staircase to the pinnacle floor which offers the master suite, with large bedroom area, walk in dressing room and en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower.

Outside and to the front and behind low walls topped with wrought iron railings are wide stone steps leading up to the main front entrance. To the rear is an extremely private courtyard which has a distinct up market bistro feel with sealed and polished concrete terrace, cleverly installed artificial lawns, all creating an peaceful ambiance conducive to while away those sunny evenings with a glass or two of your favourite prosecco!!

All in all, a delectable family residence in a fabulous and highly sought after area.
