Situated on one of the finest roads in Cheshire, Swansway stands in large private formal grounds of about an acre with beautiful lakeside setting to the rear. Originally constructed by Messers Crosby Homes during the 1930's of brick and rendered elevations, the property more recently has been extensively remodelled, extended and refurbished to an exceptional standard and now provides luxurious accommodation with fantastic leisure facilities and a self-contained annexe, in all about 8000sq ft. A long sweeping gated driveway leads to the house and to a four car garage. The grounds extend from the wide stone terrace behind the house and over manicured lawned gardens leading down to the waters edge where there is a jetty giving access for the resident onto the lake. Within the grounds there is a substantial cabana which provides all year round alfresco covered dining with kitchenette and a integrated barbeque/fire pit.
LOCATION
Mere is arguably North Cheshire's finest and most prestigious residential location synonymous with The Mere Golf Resort & Spa and commuter facilities alike. Excellent connections are available at the nearby M6 and M56 motorway network and Manchester International Airport. The rail station at Knutsford, Hale or Altrincham provide further commuter services to Manchester and surrounding commercial centres along with the Metro in Altrincham. For the sports person, the Country Club and Golf Course provides excellent sporting facilities. First class educational facilities cater for children of most ages in both the state and private sectors.
