5 bedroom detached house

An extremely rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a 5 bedroom 3,026 sq ft Victorian residence in the heart of the Conservation Area with planning granted for extension and remodelling.

Description

The sale of 33 Hawthorn Lane offers a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a charming period family home with an abundance of original period features and planning permission approved for extension and remodelling (Reference No. 18/0477M). Set within an outstanding 0.26 acre south facing plot this Victorian residence is situated on one of Wilmslow’s most desirable roads. Whilst the property would benefit from a program of refurbishment, the leaded stained glass windows have been restored and encased at great expense in addition to re-roofing in recent years.

Approached via a sweeping tarmacadam driveway the property is entered through an arched open porch via the original front door and into an exquisite timber panelled entrance hallway featuring an original doorbell chime, ceiling cornicing and exceptional stained-glass windows. There are three formal reception rooms: a 17’2 bay fronted living room with original fireplace, picture rails and cornicing, a 16’7 sitting room with inglenook fireplace and stained-glass windows, and a morning room with the original cast iron range and fitted cupboards. The kitchen features a range of fitted units, laminate worktops, space for a washer/dryer, a freestanding oven and exterior access, leading through to a further room which could be utilised as a pantry or utility room. A magnificent turning staircase leads to a spacious galleried first floor landing with further stained-glass windows. There is a main bathroom with shower and a separate toilet in addition to three generously proportioned bedrooms which include original cast iron fireplaces, cornicing and leaded stained glass windows. The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, a box room and a bathroom with shower over bath. The basement level offers three spacious chambers ideal for conversion subject to necessary consents.

Externally, the extensive south-facing rear grounds are mainly laid to lawn with an outside WC and a high degree of privacy.
