DESCRIPTION
This four-bedroom, approx. 2,805.72 sq ft home in leafy
Wilmslow leans heavily towards a retro aesthetic. Built in 1969,
the architecture is the star with its timber-clad wood ceilings,
exposed brick, and wonderful cantilevered spiral stair. Paired
with a free-flowing, versatile interior that is bathed in natural
light, for modern family living this offers so much scope. It begins
at the entrance. Stepped up from the driveway and featuring a
mottled-glass front door that design devotees will appreciate, the
feeling of wellbeing from the quality of space is tangible. It’s at
once a lovely time capsule and a comfortable family home.
The mood continues in the drawing room whose warm, woody
shell and statement inset fireplace provides an easy backdrop for
contemporary furniture and multitudes of use. Adjacent to this, a
playroom is defined by a wall of bespoke cabinetry and practical
bi-fold partition doors that close to create separation between the
two spaces when desired. The horseshoe-shaped layout means
the living spaces are mostly at the rear of the house overlooking
the garden. The kitchen is at the centre and at the opposite side
to the drawing room is a study and snug, currently used as a
cinema room. On the first floor, are four bedrooms, the principal
with an archway delineating a dressing area and en suite.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
Houses of the mid-century modern period are renowned
for blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.
Opened rooms, expanded windows, elevated family rooms,
and vaulted ceilings are all designed to encourage views of
the garden. This property has daylight in spades, along with
a clapboard exterior made to sympathetically blend into the
surrounding landscape. There is plenty of outdoor space,
from a shady woodland perimeter to a large lawn with
AstroTurf section that calls for garden games. At the front of
the house is a lawn with mature trees. The feeling is quite
private with a high perimeter fence and gated entrance.
Integrated beneath the house is a double garage and storage,
with space on the paved driveway for two or three cars.
