The property is approached via an impressive private drive lined with lime trees, underplanted with an array of shrubs and bulbs, leading to a vast tarmacadam parking and turning area. The driveway sweeps left past the back door to a spacious three-car garage. The extensive gardens, predominantly situated on the south-facing side, include a large stone terrace running along the entire front façade, with access from both the conservatory and study. These gardens feature two formal upper lawns, one of which includes a separate terrace and a picturesque octagonal summerhouse with power and light. This terrace serves as an ideal alfresco dining area, offering magnificent, far-reaching views over the meticulously landscaped gardens towards the Macclesfield hills and the Peak District.
A series of stone steps descend to a formal circular rose garden with gravel pathways and a fully stocked rockery, linking the upper lawns to the rose garden. This enchanting area overlooks a stunning lily-filled lake with a waterfall, a duck house, and banks of rhododendrons, all nestled within a charming wooded dell. A gently sloping lawn leads to a wooded wildlife area, complete with a path that winds through an orchard featuring fruit cages. A woodland walk through mature specimen trees eventually circles back to the tranquil lake, creating a serene and picturesque environment perfect for relaxation and enjoyment.
