In all there are five reception rooms, together with five main bedrooms and four main bathrooms, as well as a separate two bedroom, one bathroom top floor apartment.

Knutsford is well known for its quality houses, particularly within the Legh Road Conservation Area, which is famed for its Italianate style architecture, designed and constructed at the turn of the last century by Richard Harding Watt. There are many examples of this style throughout Knutsford, which is extremely pretty with narrow part-cobbled streets. It offers a range of day-to- day shopping facilities and has an abundance of restaurants, brassieres and other eateries to which people travel from far around. The town is also conveniently situated for the motorway network, being about 2½ miles to the M6 at junction 19. The M56 is about one mile further afield, providing access to Manchester city centre, Manchester International Airport and to the west, Chester and North Wales.
