An ‘EXCEPTIONAL’ seven-bedroom period house, described as ‘truly one of Knutsford’s finest’, has just come to the market with a whopping £4.75 million price tag.
Legh Lodge sits on Legh Road, probably the town’s most sought-after address according to agent Stuart Rushton and Co, home to some of the most unique and original suburban houses in the county.
Set in an expansive 1.25-acre garden plot with tennis court, indoor swimming pool complex, and fully independent coach house, this handsome mid-Victorian pile oozes both class and charm in equal measure.
The gardens and lawns are beautifully maintained, with split-level natural stone terraces leading out from the kitchen, gym, and swimming pool complex.
Inside, the house recently underwent a complete remodelling and is beautifully presented. Both space and quality strike you at every turn, and the layout would be wonderful for a family.
The quarry-tiled porch opens onto a spacious reception hall, giving access to all the main ground floor reception rooms.
There is a large main lounge with bow window, a grand marble fireplace, and an adjacent family sitting room which has an open-hearth fire, but in a more i contemporary style.
Leading off the hall is a substantial boot room and downstairs loo, and yet another reception room which is currently being used as a gym, with French door leading on to the rear terrace and swimming pool complex.
Towards back of the house is a stunning kitchen/diner, large enough for an eight-seater dining table, with huge ceiling lantern, looking out on to the terrace and gardens.
The bedrooms are over two upper floors and, depending on the family size, could be flexible as some are fitted out as dressing rooms and a study.
The wooden floored first-floor landing gives access to four bedrooms, including a fabulous principal room with bow window and freestanding feature bath, fireplace with wood burning stove, and access to a stunning ensuite shower room.
A dressing room designed to complement the main bedroom is beautifully fitted with exceptional quality furniture, but could easily double as a fifth bedroom, if needed.
At the far end of the garden, there’s a fully refurbished detached coach house which can be used with as guest accommodation, but it is also suitable for a relative.
