Savills Wilmslow 6 Water Lane Wilmslow Cheshire SK 9 5 AA [email protected] 01625 417 450 Introduction Walnut Tree House is a stunning country property in an idyllic rural setting. The main house offers good family accommodation with plenty of space for entertaining and in addition, the four car garage and workshop has a self contained apartment / games room with a shower room and kitchen. The property sits centrally within wonderfully landscaped gardens, with a large stocked pond and adjoining deck/jetty. The gardens and paddock extend in all to about 4.8 acres.

Situation Set at the end of this cul de sac country lane, just to the south of Alderley Edge, Walnut Tree House is superbly placed for access to the bustling village and Wilmslow, yet is a rarely found haven of tranquillity. The area offers tremendous leisure facilities with local golf courses, cricket, rugby and tennis clubs, fitness centres and equestrian facilities, all within a few minutes drive.

The main west coast railway line places London under two hours away from either Wilmslow or Macclesfield and access to the North West’s commercial centres via the M6 or A34 is especially easy. Manchester International Airport is about 10 miles away.

The primary school at Nether Alderley is a short drive down the road, with Terra Nova, The Ryleys and Alderley Edge School for Girls all close by. Kings School Macclesfield is within easy reach and there is a coach service from the end of the lane to the principal private schools in South Manchester.

A local convenience store at Monks Heath provides many day to day needs and Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Knutsford are renowned for excellent shopping, restaurants and bistros as well as specialist shops. Handforth Dean stores and John Lewis at Cheadle are within easy reach via the A34

The Property Approached by a sweeping tree lined driveway, Walnut Tree House is set behind manicured lawns and is the epitome of a Cheshire country house. The accommodation is spacious, well balanced and has considerable charm. It is as perfect for a family as for entertaining and extends over two floors with all the rooms enjoying wonderful views over the surrounding gardens. The property was substantially remodelled and extended in 2000 to a high specification and to take full advantage of its south westerly aspect.

The oak front door under a loggia style entrance opens to a splendid reception hall with oak flooring and an oak staircase leading up to a galleried landing. A large wood burning stove takes pride of place. The drawing room lies off to the left and enjoys a triple aspect, has a library shelved recess, a bay to the rear and has a real fire in a rustic brick fireplace. A sitting room lies to the rear off an inner hall area with a cloakroom and w.c. with wainscot height oak panelling.

The dining room is well proportioned and features oak flooring and a bespoke wine display area. Bi-fold doors open through to the wonderful orangery with a lantern roof, a wood burning stove and two sets of French doors opening to the stone flagged terrace- perfect for entertaining in the summer months. A dual aspect study lies off the rear of the dining room and all have stunning south westerly views over the gardens. The living kitchen is the heart of the house and is beautifully appointed with John Lewis of Hungerford cabinetry, a range cooker and integrated appliances. The terracotta tiled floor offers warmth with practicality and there is a larder cupboard and an island. A wood-burning stove is perfect for the cooler months and a stable door is well placed for unloading shopping. This spacious and airy room enjoys a triple aspect. A utility room lies off, again with terracotta floor tiles, base cupboards, the oil fired central heating boiler and a cloaks/boot area.

There are five bedrooms on the first floor including a master bedroom suite with a vaulted bedroom area, a dressing room and an en suite bathroom with Vernon Tutbury sanitaryware and a separate bath and shower.

There are four further generous bedrooms served by a house bathroom with a shower, oak finish floor and wainscot panelling.

The Apartment and Garaging Across the gravelled courtyard area stands the substantial four car garage, and to the rear, with internal and external access, a substantial work shop. To the right of the garages is a personnel door to a hall area with the staircase to the first floor and a cloaks cupboard. A well appointed shower room/cloakroom lies off.

On the first floor is a superb open plan room, designed as a multi purpose space to include a kitchen area and a dishwasher, an oven and a hob. This opens directly into a snooker room with a full size table and a media area with lounge space. There is independent heating from the main house.

Outbuildings In the rear paddock there is a large timber garden garage/potential stable and a large wood store.

Garden, Grounds and Pond The gardens are stunning. Extensive, manicured lawns extend to all sides. The tree lined driveway approaches from the south bordered by lawns and there are screening hedges to the sides. The stone flagged terrace extends around the south and westerly aspects and the pond with mature carp has an attractive pool side deck area for enjoying a peaceful moment by the water. The gravelled turning/parking area extends around the north side of the property and beyond this is a further garden area with well stocked borders. A gateway leads through to the rear paddock and outbuildings.
