Chapel Lane, Lower Withington, SK11

A very attractive detached country house with a separate two bedroom cottage, standing within wonderful landscaped grounds of a little over three aces, in a superb rural location with lovely views over adjoining farmland, at the end of a long sweeping private drive.

The house was acquired by the current owner in 2011, who embarked, in conjunction with notable local designers Daly Design, on an extension and total remodelling programme, and the face of the house was completely transformed, with lovely mellowed brick elevations and stone mullioned window detailing. The interior was entirely refitted with superb quality throughout, the focal point being an impressive two storey reception hall with gallery over. Two attractive principle reception rooms enjoy a lovely aspect over the grounds, and a large multi use kitchen/dining/family room has been fitted with a range of hand painted cabinets with a range of appliances, a large central island and glass topped spiral wine cellar. Ancillary rooms include a utility room, a fitted boot room and a wc. At first floor level, the main bedroom is large with a fantastic quality en suite marble lined bathroom, and there are four further bedrooms, one with an en suite and a large family bathroom.

The cottage provides great further scope for an incoming buyer. Detached from the house by just a few metres, there is further scope to link to the main house, and develop the interior to the same standard as the house, subject to obtaining any suitable further planning consent. There are a further two bedrooms here, and also two additional reception rooms, and combined with integral store rooms a further 1500 square feet here could be utilised in a variety of ways.

The house is set a hundred yards off the lane, in the middle of its lovely grounds, with a gated approach and adjacent estate railing detail. The grassed areas are close clipped currently, and a timber stable yard opposite the house provides for five stables and garaging. The courtyard area to the front and side of the house provides a huge amount of parking for cars and other vehicles.

An interesting enclosed area at the front of the site, close to the lane, houses a small derelict brick bothy building, which may, in time, provide further scope for some development.
