DESCRIPTION
Constructed in 1874, Erlesdene is a handsome Grade II Listed Victorian Gothic mansion house which was designed by renowned architects of the time Mills and Murgatroyd, also credited for the Manchester Royal Exchange, and has not been on the market for nearly 100 years. Erlesdene enjoys superb proportions. Currently the property is divided into nine individual apartments and cottages, however, our clients have gained two valuable planning permissions to either restore the whole to a single residential dwelling, or to remodel into 13 luxury apartments.
The single dwelling opportunity will allow the purchaser a truly one-off opportunity to create a home of their dreams, encompassing period features and architecture with a bespoke modern twist and fit-out to their specification and tastes.
The house is believed to date back to 1874 and was constructed with rock pitched faced ashlar sandstone with a slated roof. The elevations are decorated with many fine carvings and detailed stonework including Corinthian columns, sandstone mullions, angle buttresses, cornicing, parapets and finials.
The property’s history can be explored further by reading the Heritage Statement within the planning application.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
Standing in approaching 1¾ acres on one of Bowdon’s finest roads, Erlesdene sits behind a stone wall with many mature trees and shrubs affording the property a high degree of privacy. Set to one side of the plot is a substantial coach house, ideal for ancillary accommodation, if required. The gardens to the rear are principally laid to lawn and enjoy a southerly aspect in a mature and unspoilt setting.
PROPOSED SINGLE DWELLING OPPORTUNITY
This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a landmark property of superb proportions.
An exciting opportunity awaits with full planning permission to re-create a stunning period residence of exceptional proportions. A buyer can restore the splendour of this magnificent home and retain the original character while seamlessly integrating modern influences, to create a truly unique home. Set on a generous plot, the proposed property will feature:
• A substantial open-plan living dining kitchen
• A bespoke leisure suite including a pool
• A separate coach house offering ancillary accommodation
This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to acquire and shape a landmark home in one of Cheshire’s most desirable locations.
