Property description

A FINE GENTLEMAN'S RESIDENCE WITH UNREALISED POTENTIAL - EXTENSIVE GROUNDS AND OUTBUILDINGS, NESTLED IN THE HEART OF RURAL CHESHIRE

A distinguished residence, bounded with established and formal mature gardens, including extensive lawns, large pond, flower borders, terrace seating areas, deciduous and coniferous trees, Great Oak has undergone considerable improvement since its origins, but nevertheless its potential is ready to be unleashed and provides the fortunate new owners with the opportunity of imposing their own style and individuality.

Practically the towns of Macclesfield and Congleton are within 6 miles and 5 miles respectively, with Manchester Airport some 13 miles away offering flights to worldwide destinations. The main town of Macclesfield, is offered with its mainline railway station (London Euston in approx 1hr 45mins), excellent schools including Beech Hall Preparatory School, Kings School and a range of highly regarded secondary schools. The town offers an array of high street stores, shops bars and restaurants. Equally the charming market town of Congleton is blessed with a thriving range of facilities, excellent railway networks and enjoys easy access to the M6 Motorway.

On entering the property the main entrance hallway opens into the Dining Room with recessed fire having a multi fuel stove inset. There is a cloakroom off and rising staircase to the first floor. To one side is the generous 28' drawing room with open fire and aspects to the garden on two sides. Also from the hall is a cosy snug enjoying a lovely aspect of the rear lawns. In turn, the breakfast kitchen, has a defined breakfast dining area which then opens to the fitted kitchen. The breakfast room provides doors into the huge conservatory which faces and overlooks the rear gardens. Completing the ground floor is the utility with boiler and porch to outside.

On the first floor the spacious landing leads to all four bedrooms, each with their own views of the private grounds and some enjoying far reaching views over adjacent farmland. The master bedroom features a selection of fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room. Completing the accommodation are the three other bedrooms, the second also with ensuite facilities and finally the family bathroom with separate shower.

Outside, and as mentioned above, are the glorious private and formal gardens, which will only truly be appreciated with the undertaking of a viewing,. Outbuildings include a LARGE BRICK BUILT DOUBLE GARAGE with ADJOINING GARDEN STORE AND OFFICE/HOBBY ROOM.
