The property, which is Grade II listed and part of which is believed to date back to the 17th Century, has been refurbished to an excellent standard throughout, whilst retaining an abundance of original features, including a splendid hand carved staircase and a great deal of exposed oak framework.
The accommodation extends to nearly 2900 sq ft, laid over three floors, comprising five bedrooms, two high quality bathrooms, and three reception rooms, plus a recently re-fitted breakfast kitchen, with an adjoining utility room and WC.
Additional outbuildings include a large brick built double detached garage, a single story brick piggery with an attractive stone flagged roof, and a timber frame triple car barn located to the rear of the house.
Ashley is a semi-rural hamlet located in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, which is located close to the Tatton Estate, beyond which is the very pretty market town of Knutsford. Hale village is situated close by, being only minutes drive away, which provides numerous facilities which will serve all requirements, including supermarkets, excellent restaurants, and several wine bars and cafes. For day-to-day convenience, there is a village shop as well as a popular public house. There is a good commuter service within the village by rail into Manchester, Chester and the surrounding villages, with the M56 and M6 motorway networks, as well as Manchester Airport being only a short drive away.
Description
On the ground floor at the centre of the house, there is generous central reception hallway, with exposed structural timbers and beams as well as a beautiful marble fireplace and stylish tiled flooring, providing access into all of the main reception spaces.
There are three formal reception rooms, including a sitting room with a front facing box bay window and a large inglenook fireplace.
There is a smaller family room located across the hall, with an open fireplace incorporating a cast-iron surround with charming decorative tiling.
The magnificent dining room is located to the rear of the house, enjoying pleasant views across the gardens by a window and a side facing set of French doors which lead out onto a sunny stone flagged patio.
The kitchen has been fitted with hand painted shaker style cabinets, with contrasting quartz stone worktops, incorporating a central island with breakfast, bar seating, a large multi oven range cooker set within a chimney housing, and a comprehensive range of quality integrated appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room with a downstairs WC.
Across the two upper floors, there are five bedrooms in all, four of which are located on the first floor, one with a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room, and another with fitted office furniture, including a peninsula twin desk, and extensive built-in storage.
The first floor bedrooms share the use of a beautifully appointed bathroom fitted with a period style suite, consisting of a slipper shaped roll top bath, in addition to a large, wet room style shower enclosure.
A charming hand carved staircase leads up to the second floor onto a spacious landing with built-in wardrobes and storage. There is a large double bedroom with lovely high vaulted ceilings, as well as a magnificent contemporary style bathroom, comprising a freestanding pebble shaped bathtub, and a stunning central wet room style shower enclosure.
Outside
Externally, the property sits in a generous plot, consisting of beautifully landscaped flat lawn gardens, which extend to the side and rear of the house, including a wealth of stone, flat, hard landscaping, and attractive, well-stocked, flowerbeds, and shrub borders. The property backs directly onto farmland and enjoys wonderful far-reaching views. There is ample parking to the front and side of the house in the form of a sweeping gravel driveway, providing access to the aforementioned brick built double garage. There is a further range of outbuildings beyond the rear courtyard which include a former piggery, which has been converted into a storeroom as well as a useful oak frame car barn.
Important note: Should the construction of the HS2 railway line continue from Crewe to Manchester Airport, then its planned route will run to the south of the house. For context, this would be a similar distance away as the existing line that runs through the village.
