Description

A beautifully-refurbished five / six bedroom semi-detached Victorian home with private side and rear gardens in a highly sought-after Bowdon location, in the catchment area for Bowdon Church School and the Grammar schools.

Lovingly restored to a modernised version of the Victorian era, this impeccable family home offers ample accommodation over four floors. High ceilings and a grand entrance reception hall. There is also a detached garden room, basement and off-road parking.

There are two large front reception rooms, each with their own unique identity. To the left is the spacious snug with elegant dark grey panelling and a cozy log burner with a slate hearth and bespoke, handmade units. Across the hallway is a superb entertainment room with joinery encapsulating the media wall with an impressive gas-effect electric fire. As with the snug, wooden plantation shutters complement the large front windows. The ground floor cloakroom is a space-efficient downstairs WC. The kitchen is at the end of the hallway and the dual-aspect windows look out on to both the rear and side gardens, landscaped with beautiful stone and lawn, this includes a detached garden room and space for a hot tub. The bespoke garden room has electricity and would make a perfect detached home office or year-round entertainment room.

Back inside, the recessed Range cooker sits beautifully within what was the original kitchen fireplace. Along with the large breakfast cupboard, you’ll find a host of integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, under-counter recycling bins, wine fridge and space for a large, plumbed free-standing American-style fridge freezer. The dining/breakfast bar enhances this lovely large room, with nearby garden steps, perfect for the warmer months.

The basement makes a perfect annexe/nanny flat, or cinema room and play room. With two fantastic front reception rooms, a luxury shower room with sink and WC, further storage room and large plumbed utility room with Belfast sink, this has everything you need to create a second large kitchen. With its own garden entrance, this level is ideal for family, guests, carers, multi-generational living or for use as a large self-contained office space.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms; a great-sized double overlooking the rear garden; the spacious principal suite to the front is luxurious with an elegant, marbled en suite bathroom. The family bathroom has been impeccably designed; neutral tones accentuating the sleek black free-standing bath. There is a wet room-style walk-in shower, dual stone sinks with in-built under-sink storage and a heated towel rail. A generously sized double bedroom is across the landing, to the front of the house, benefitting from large windows and high ceilings and is next to the Principal suite. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms; a large bedroom to the rear with bespoke storage and dual aspect windows. To the front is an angular bedroom, full of character. This is a very versatile space.
