The Village, Prestbury, Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK10

Lovely secluded setting character property in the heart of the village. NO CHAIN.

Description

Glebe House is a unique home, being a village house and yet enjoying a quiet and secluded setting within Prestbury conservation area. Originally converted from a range of outbuildings and stables to the Grade II listed Manor House in 1982 the property has been thoroughly upgraded in recent years to provide for stylish and comfortable four bedroomed, three bathroom accommodation with a contemporary flourish.

It is unusual to find a property with such amazing gardens in a village centre location and the feature of Spencer Brook dissecting these gardens adds depth and interest. With mature specimen trees and views to The Glebe land beyond, with the river Bollin meandering past, there is a very rural feel to the setting.

The accommodation is beautifully presented and finished to a high specification with bespoke bedroom furniture and wardrobes, oak doors throughout, a stunning oak staircase with a wine store below, top quality bathrooms and a newly fitted kitchen with granite surfaces, an island, oak finish flooring and quality integrated Siemens appliances including wine fridge, Quooker, oven, microwave and warming drawer and a US style fridge freezer. The dining kitchen is open plan into the sitting room with a gas ‘wood-burner’ in a stone fireplace and French doors opening to the rear breakfast terrace and gardens.

The open plan hallway leads into the dining hall and a cloakroom with WC faces the entrance door. A well appointed utility room lies off the kitchen with oak door cupboards, a Belfast sink and granite surfaces.

Double bifold doors open through to the dining hall with its oak staircase, wine store and double French doors to the rear terrace. Oak double doors then lead to the lounge, another double aspect room, with French doors to the rear gardens and a stunning marble fireplace surround with a log effect living gas fire.

The three reception rooms create an amazing entertaining space but equally can be closed off to create separate cosy rooms and all have dual aspects, open to the rear terrace and are light and airy.

The first floor is as impressive as the ground floor, with beautifully appointed bedrooms, all with views over the gardens and Glebe land. With bespoke wardrobes and bedroom furniture there is plenty of storage space augmented by under eaves box rooms. The fourth bedroom is fitted out for use as a home office with a range of filing and storage cupboards, along with a sofa bed for occasional bedroom use. The three well presented bathrooms all have under-floor heating.

The guest suite is especially generous and includes an en suite bathroom with a separate shower, as has the house bathroom, while the vaulted principal bedroom has a dressing room and an ensuite shower room.

Glebe House stands behind a lawn and wide stone flagged driveway leading to the heated double garage with an insulated double roller style door and a Belfast sink. Wide double doors open from the rear of the garage to the gardens and a stone built workshop/store with light and power lies separately at the rear. Perfect for storing garden furniture and gardening equipment. A garden lighting system is installed to show the gardens in the evening. There are two bridges over Spencer Brook and the gardens are notable for their birdsong.

Location

This stylish and characterful home lies in a quiet, secluded and private setting only steps away from the heart of what is arguably Cheshire’s prettiest village.

The village of Prestbury retains its charm and character with predominantly Georgian houses, an historic church, two village pubs, restaurants and bistros straddling the river Bollin.
The village has cricket, golf, tennis and squash clubs, walks along the Bollin valley, a good primary school and excellent senior schools in both the state and private sectors with Fallibroome Academy and Kings School Macclesfield on the edge of the village.

There are a number of specialist shops in the village along with a well-stocked Co-op supermarket with Waitrose in Alderley Edge, Poynton and Wilmslow and a number of supermarkets in the nearby market town of Macclesfield. Both Wilmslow and Macclesfield have West Coast line stations placing London Euston less than two hours away and Manchester airport is about a 20 minute drive away.

For those searching for a home in Cheshire’s golden triangle Prestbury and its many services offer the best of the best combined with real village community spirit.
