Garden House - Flipbook - Page 4
DESCRIPTION
An exceptional plot in the heart of Cheshire, The Garden
House is an extraordinary opportunity. Not only is it part
of the Adlington Hall Estate - one of the finest country
houses in England - it’s rare to find a piece of rigorous
modern architecture in a rural spot that has never been
available to purchase before. The house and garden
speak the language of a place to escape to that feels
simple but nourishing, with a sense of effortlessness - yet
to the highest degree.
Double gates open onto a driveway that sweeps towards
one side of the property. Here, the juxtaposition
between the Georgian red-brick cottage and 4,407 sq ft
contemporary home begins. The monastic beauty of the
kitchen, with its soaring ceiling, custom built cabinets
and curvaceous island is a symphony of wood and
white. Here, full-height glazing dissembles the boundary
between the house and its picturesque setting. Staying
within the homogenous shell, the hallway leads to a large
bedroom and en suite. Discernible from the modern
build - and more appreciative for it - is the 18th-century
dowager’s cottage, which carries its own wonderful,
period charm. As a family home it has vast potential.
