Property description
Set in approximately five acres of land, this exceptional property has been designed with contemporary living in mind whilst maximising its rural position with its free flowing space and large windows which make the most of the natural light in the principal rooms. Its natural surroundings are reflected throughout the property through the use of oak joinery, granite and limestone. An impressive double height entrance hall leads to the generous open plan Kitchen/Family Room which is South facing and fitted with contemporary tabacco oak units and a central breakfast bar and boasts a full range of luxury integrated appliances including champagne cooler and espresso coffee maker. The Kitchen leads through to a formal Dining Room and in turn, the Drawing Room, both of which benefit from a dual aspect and the drawing room has a beautiful carved stone fireplace as its centrepiece. The expansive living space is continued further with a rear hall, Sitting Room and Snooker Room/Games Room. To the first floor there is a Master Suite and a further four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The bathrooms have been individually designed and include spa baths and power showers. Perhaps the most unique feature of The Meadows is its luxurious Leisure Suite, built over two floors, linked by a spiral staircase and with double height windows offering views over the fields. On the mezzanine level there is a large stone tiled steam room and oak floored gym with a Jacuzzi spa bath on the ground floor. Solid oak flooring and oak window frames throughout and under floor heating. The Meadows and Oak Tree Barn share a private electric gated courtyard off the main driveway. Outside there are approximately 5 acres of paddock and a lawned garden with separate vegetable garden with raised beds.

Access from here to Knutsford, Wilmslow and Alderley Edge is just a few minutes by car and the A556 Manchester to Chester link road and the M6 are within easy reach for access to Manchester city centre and Manchester International airport. The historical town of Knutsford is close by, which not only has a range of exclusive bars and restaurants but also boasts excellent schools.
