Savills 6 Water Lane Wilmslow Cheshire SK9 5AA [email protected] 01625 417 450 Situation Enjoying one of the finest settings in arguably North-West’s most prestigious location Mereview directly overlooks The Mere and Mere Golf Club beyond.

The thriving and historic market town of Knutsford with its tremendous range of specialist shops, fine restaurants, and supermarkets is only a short drive away. Tatton Park, hosts to the annual Royal Horticultural Society show and a deer park is within walking or cycling distance and the area abounds in golf courses, leisure facilities and sports clubs.

The village of Hale and town of Altrincham are equally renowned for their wonderful restaurants, bars and high end shopping facilities along with excellent educational facilities with a great selection of schools in the state and private sector.

Most private schools in the area provide private coaches to Knutsford and The Grange School at Hartford, King’s School and Terra Nova school are all within striking distance.

Communications has always been one of the prime attractions of the area, with easy access to the M6 and M56 linking to the North-West’s commercial centres, Manchester International Airport and the city centre. The Metro link service terminates in Altrincham and Knutsford train station has a regular service to Manchester and Stockport, linking to the main West Coast line for London.

There are few properties combining as a captivating setting with such excellent communications.

Description This bespoke built residence is exceptional in every sense of the word. Designed by our clients to exacting standards and to take maximum advantage of the wonderful views over The Mere to the rear.

Much of the impressive exterior is finished in handcrafted dressed stone to the window reveals and oak backed mullions to the front and rear bays, the façade of the sunken terrace area and the stylish portico entrance. The stone architecture extends via the garages to the duplex guest or staff apartment with its orangery living room.

The interior is equally impressive, with stunningly well-proportioned rooms and an amazing double principal reception room over 65’ in length, perfect for entertaining on a grand scale while enjoying the sumptuous views over the lake from the stone balcony/terrace immediately to the rear. There are solid floors throughout with oak, marble and limestone finishes. The ceilings in the principal rooms are spectacularly finished in a rare coffered style.

Family areas are equally well provided for; the dining kitchen opens into the orangery living room with three sets of French doors opening to a second terrace/balcony area for al fresco dining during the summer months.

The portico entrance leads into a galleried entrance hall with a side annex area and immediately one sees the fantastic view of the lake through the windows of the morning room area.

Both family and entertaining are catered for in the lower ground floor area, with a large media room integrated with AV equipment and opening into the gym area with French doors to the lower entertaining terrace with stone seating areas and lovely views over the lake.

The bespoke kitchen is superbly equipped with an extended Lacanche range, granite surfaces, integrated Miele appliances and a large island. The dining area and kitchen open off to the family sitting room with a motorised drop down television concealed in the double sided fireplace.

The boot room, ancillary rooms and internal access to the double garage lie off the kitchen via an inner hall.

The attractive staircase leads from the hall to the first floor main landing off which there are six bedrooms and a gallery area, originally conceived as an area for hanging paintings or as a library area.

The master bedroom suite is very impressive. Away from the family bedrooms and extending to over 45’ in length this is one of the finest suites we have had the privilege of offering. The main bedroom area has a triple aspect and overlooks the lake whilst a Juliet balcony has double doors overlooking the extensive terrace areas. There is a dressing room and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. Twin staircases lead up to a gallery room which provides options for further dressing space, another bathroom and lounge or a home office area.

There are three further principal bedroom suites, one with a dressing room and the remaining two bedrooms sharing the large house bathroom.

The annex is beautifully constructed in dressed stone and is partly in an orangery style. Arranged over two floors it provides generous self-contained space for guests, staff or would make a wonderful two storey office for consultancy with its private entrance door off the driveway.
