Property description

**A BEAUTIFUL HOME YOU'LL ADORE - EDWARDIAN CHARM WITH MAGNIFICIENT MODERN DAY COMFORTS**

Four double bedrooms, three reception rooms, stunning handcrafted open plan kitchen and hardwood garden room, cloakroom, family bathroom and two en suites. Attached garage with private driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. Large landscaped established gardens.

Constructed circa 1905, in the midst of the Edwardian era, we consider this imposing family home to be a fine example of the impressive properties to be found on Cross Lane Mossley, one of Congleton's most desirable locations, with Cheshire's countryside on its doorstep, and with Congleton being so central means the M6 motorway and main arterial routes to Manchester Airport are easily accessible by road, with the main railway station within walking distance providing links to national rail networks.

No 32 provides a rare combination of Edwardian grandeur and modern comfort, a great recipe for stylish family living. Amongst its traditional features are beautiful hardwood leaded and glazed windows, high ceilings, open fireplaces and large internal pine doors.

Nothing short of the 'wow' factor is immediately evident within a few seconds of entering this delightful family home. The current vendors have lovingly and tastefully renovated this traditional detached property from once being a \"exceptional\" home to now an unbelievably luxurious home, which although offering a magnitude of extended accommodation, still retains a warm homely feel.

Attention to detail has been carefully undertaken and consideration has been made not to lose the soul of this home by cleverly expanding its already generous proportions to create, we feel, a most amazing and commendable conversion and refurbishment one has seen for many years.

Sited well back from Cross Lane behind mature hedgerow, the front offers a sweeping driveway. A beautiful entrance porch opens into the reception hall with attractive quarry tiled floor and separate cloakroom. The sitting room features a stunning polished cast iron open coal fireplace, natural pine herringbone floor and bay window overlooking the front gardens. The formal dining room blessed with natural pine herringbone floor enjoys views over the beautiful established gardens.

From the reception hallway is a door leading into the light filled, large, open plan kitchen complete with handcrafted and hand painted bespoke units under black granite surfaces, which flows naturally into the period style conservatory allowing for a spacious dining area with aspect over the rear gardens. Adjacent is a well proportioned, cosy second sitting room with a Clearview multi fuel stove set within an exposed brick and stone fireplace, and with two sets of French doors which open onto the rear terrace. Completing the ground floor is a separate utility.

The first floor is accessed via a splendid shallow-rise return staircase with superb tall leaded glass window. The huge master bedroom with plentiful wardrobe space enjoys views over the rear garden and has a luxurious en suite shower room . The second bedroom has its own en suite shower room is equally well proportioned, as are bedrooms three and four. Completing this level is the period style family bathroom.

Outside, as befits a property of distinction, there are lovely formal and manageable private gardens incorporating specimen trees and shrubs, and Indian stone terrace seating, which enjoys a lovely aspect over the lawns.

To the front the freshly laid driveway provides ample parking and there is an attached garage with electrically operated door.

All in all, a delectable family residence in a fabulous and highly sought after area.
