*MOTIVATED SELLER*OPEN TO OFFERS *SIX BEDROOMS* LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATION THROUGHOUT *4000 SQFT*IMPRESSIVE OPEN PLAN KITCHEN, DINING AND FAMILY AREA*MUST BE VIEWED*The Old Ration House is steeped in history whilst standing proudly within one of Congletons most traditional and interesting streets of architectural splendour and significance,once used during WW2 for the distribution of war time rations to fellow Congletonians.This exceptional Edwardian home offers 4,000 sqft of accommodation over three floors to include six bedrooms, four reception rooms, plus an open plan kitchen and an additional four cellar rooms.The property's position is extremely convenient with immediate access to the bustling town of Congleton, with its array of independent shops and eateries which are all at your disposal.In contrast and within just a few minutes' walk, you are able to seek picturesque Cheshire countryside with direct walks to the Macclesfield canal and Astbury country park.The accommodation is sheer decadence with a luxurious finish that alludes to the classic era of this type of property with exposed brickwork, sash windows and marvellous tall ceilings.The entrance of this property is one to rival that of a boutique hotel, with a truly impressive reception hall, enhanced by fully glazed internal panelled doors. The inner hallway opens to reveal a twin staircase with immediate access to the spacious boot room with its cleverly concealed and has plentiful storage, plus a separate ground floor cloakroom.Showcasing an impressive impact from the moment you arrive, with its original coping stone steps as well as twin columns, covered entrance canopy and newly installed wrought iron railings, creating a dramatic exterior frontage.Daily access is obtained from the rear and is just as impressive, with its electric gates and extensive block paved driveway which allows plentiful parking and also reveals the true magnitude of this magnificent home.The rear of the property is further enhanced via a dramatic backdrop which includes rooftop views over the local church and the town hall clock tower which visually enhances the rear skyline.Attention to detail has been paid to maximise the outdoor space which totals an approximate 1100 sqft of cleverly combined low maintenance gardens. The private courtyard is complemented by exposed brick walls and sealed concrete patios which are a traditional contrast to the artificial lawns and modern glass panels creating a stylish and extremely private courtyard which is perfect for all year-round alfresco dining and entertaining.To the heart of the home is an extended open plan living kitchen with adjoining lounge and dining area with feature fireplace, all in addition to the three further reception rooms. The kitchen proudly displays a vaulted ceiling with partially glazed roof which is a welcomed addition to the bi- folding doors having access to the courtyard.The impressive kitchen is well equipped with a range of bespoke units enhanced by solid wood worktops in contrast to the central island with granite worktops incorporating a seating area for four. There is a full range of integrated appliances including two dishwashers, a double sink unit, three ovens and a wine cooler to assist modern living.The top floor offers a complete suite, which gives that boutique hotel vibe, offering a fantastic sized master bedroom with a separate luxurious dressing room which has been fitted with bespoke wardrobes and storage. There is also a luxurious bathroom with a separate freestanding bath and enclosed shower cubicle.The first floor offers five further bedrooms and two-family bathrooms which each present a contemporary and high-end finish, both fitted with quality suites and separate double width shower cubicles.Another welcomed addition to this home has to be the cellar rooms which are divided into four rooms including a boiler and a communication room.The head height permits reasonable use and offers versatile use as a gym or games room.A property of this calibre and exceptional style within this regarded location are a rarity indeed and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
