Breck Cottage - Flipbook - Page 6
DESCRIPTION
Breck Cottage has the most magical location, nestled by Styperson Pool, enjoying farreaching lake and hillside views, in a protected area with a good degree of privacy, down
a long privately owned drive, yet only a short drive to the centres of Bollington, Prestbury,
Poynton and Wilmslow. Bollington is only 1 ½ miles and has previously been included in
The Sunday Times ‘Best Places to Live in the Northwest’ list, with the village being an active
social hub with Arts Centre and vibrant cafes.
The current owners have undergone a no-expense-spared and sympathetic renovation and
extension scheme to present a period family house with much character retained, yet with
modern bathrooms and kitchen.
A newly constructed oak-framed entrance porch leads to the entrance hall with stone
flooring, swivel log burning stove set into an exposed stone wall and stairs to the first floor.
A door leads off the hall to the WC and to the generously proportioned drawing room
with log burning stove and French doors to the front gardens with lake views and built-in
bespoke cabinetry.
To the other side of the entrance hall lies the equally impressive dining room which is dual
aspect with open fireplace with stone surround and beamed ceiling. A door leads from the
dining room to the good-sized triple aspect study, nicely tucked away.
The rear south-facing elevation is dominated by a wonderful open-plan space incorporating
the large kitchen/breakfast room with stone floor, painted wall and floor units, granite
worksurfaces, central island unit with breakfast bar and preparation sink, built-in Bertazzoni
range cooker with extractor over, Quooker tap, twin Belfast sinks, Miele dishwasher and
butcher’s block. The kitchen is open-plan to the family room with space for a large table and
French doors to the gardens. The family room is, in turn, open to the magnificent oak/sitting
room with oak and glazed elevations, and bi-fold doors to the courtyard garden to one side
and gravel terrace to the other.
Amazing sunset views can be enjoyed from the oak room and some bedrooms. The oak
room is open to the eaves and has a log burner. A good-sized utility/boot room with Belfast
sink lies to the rear of the kitchen.
The first floor has an exemplary principal suite. The large bedroom is open to the eaves and
has a free-standing bath, contemporary log burner and French doors to wooden terrace with
lake and garden views. There are newly fitted his and hers bath and shower rooms with
a well fitted dressing room/bedroom five/nursery with French doors to the terrace. There
are three further bedrooms, all with built-in cabinetry, served by a well-appointed modern
family shower room.
A wooden outbuilding lies to the side elevation that at present houses the L-shaped games
room, with a stable/store and further store room housing the biomass boiler, with machinery
store to the side of the games room. The client has architect drawings for the conversion of
the outbuilding to provide additional living space overlooking the lake.
