Description

The Poplars is a wonderful period family home nestled in approximately half an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds on one of Cheshire's finest wide and leafy roads.

Set behind electric gates, the house is well set back from the road accessed via a sweeping carriage driveway, offering a high degree of privacy for potential purchasers.

Built in 1933 this period property blends timeless elegance with modern features, plus an unusual design quirk of having no square rooms whatsoever. The attractive front covered porch opens up into the grand reception hall with feature oak staircase, cloakroom WC and integrated vacuum system.

To the right of the hall is the sitting room, the first of six large entertaining and reception spaces. Extending to over 33 ft in length this dual aspect room is finished with an ornate marble fireplace and feature inglenook bar area and overlooks the pretty rear and side gardens.

To the right hand side of the hallway is the drawing room and beyond which is a most spectacular open plan kitchen dining conservatory space extending to over 1200 sq ft, the perfect space for entertaining large gatherings of family and friends.

The handmade kitchen is fitted with bespoke solid wood units to three sides and features a central island extending to (3m?) appliances? Beyond the fitted kitchen is the expansive dining conservatory area which is flooded with natural light and is the ideal space for entertaining large groups of family and friends. The room is finished with window seats to enjoy the views out to the gardens beyond.

To the far left of the property is the music room/snug, a home office, a further downstairs WC and the formal dining room. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a large utility room with laundry chute from the principle en-suite above.

To the first floor there are five generous bedrooms and three bathrooms. The large dual aspect principle suite is particularly impressive, with separate dressing room with WC and en-suite bathroom.

The second floor offers a versatile loft space currently being used as a home gym.

Externally the property has a classic carriage driveway leading to a rear double garage, a large garden mainly laid to lawn, a bespoke built children's play area and a wooden built summer house.
