Description

Dating from the late 1800’s, this imposing five-bedroom Victorian family home represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property in one of Wilmslow’s most sought-after addresses. Constructed of traditional brick elevations beneath a slate roof, the gable-fronted façade is enriched with architectural details including deep corbelled eaves, elegant bay windows with leaded lights, and a striking arched porch with sandstone accents.

Internally, the house retains a wealth of original feature, fireplaces, leaded glass, ceiling cornices, deep skirtings, and panelled doors evoking charm and character throughout. Extending to approximately 3,288 sq ft across four floors, the accommodation is both generous and versatile. The cellars, with excellent head height offer superb scope for conversion, while the property as a whole presents significant potential for extension, redevelopment, or comprehensive renovation (subject to the necessary consents).

The ground floor comprises three formal reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, and a cloakroom. The first floor hosts three bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with an en suite bathroom, complemented by a family bathroom. The top floor provides two further bedrooms, one currently arranged with a fitted kitchen, ideal for ancillary accommodation, and served by an additional bathroom.

Externally, the property is approached via a long tarmacadam driveway providing extensive off-road parking and leading to a detached brick-built garage. The rear gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy, framed by mature hedging and trees.

This is a rare chance to create a truly outstanding family home in a prime central Wilmslow location whether through sensitive restoration or bold reimagining. Opportunities of this calibre are seldom available and early viewing is strongly advised.
