DESCRIPTION
Set well back from the road at the head of a private drive, Whitegates is approached through gated entrance and sweeping driveway which leads to a substantial detached double garage. Private landscaped grounds surround the house and extends to about half an acre. Within the Legh Road Conservation Area and within a short walk of the town centre the property is understood to have been originally constructed in 1928 although over recent years there have been many significant contemporary extensions and redevelopments of the house which now provides family accommodation extending to nearly 4000sq ft. The double fronted elevations create a pretty looking property and the reception hallway serves the formal living room and fitted study. There is now a huge living dining kitchen beautifully fitted like the study by Sheerin Bespoke of Knutsford with numerous integrated appliances, an Aga and island. This space incorporates a living and dining area with a cavernous lantern light over and full width bi-fold doors which opens on to the private terrace patio ideal for indoor/outdoor all year round entertaining. There Is a family/play room, utility room and cloakroom with WC also on the ground floor. At first floor level; four double bedrooms, two with walk-in dressing rooms and four bathrooms (all en-suite) superbly fitted by Fired Earth. The master bedroom suite is on the second floor and is also complete with a large walk-in dressing room and full en-suite bathroom.
LOCATION
The property is within flat walking distance of the cosmopolitan town of Knutsford, an old market town rich in heritage and brimming with a variety of architectural features, particularly those built in an Italianate Tuscan style by the famous local architect, Richard Harding Watt. Linked by a web of ginnels, cobbles and courtyards, the two main streets are home to a variety of shops ranging from boutiques to antique shops, purveyors of fine wines and chocolate to art galleries and interior design specialists. Major retailers include Waitrose, Booths, Sainsbury's, Aldi and Boots. Evenings in Knutsford are very lively with many fine wine bars, pubs and restaurants catering for most tastes. For the outdoor enthusiast, Knutsford borders some of Cheshire's most beautiful countryside and has the famous Tatton Park Country Estate on its doorstep with its Regency mansion, glorious gardens, traditional farm and medieval old hall. The town centre offers Leisure Centre facilities as well as numerous private sporting clubs and notable golf courses within easy reach. For the commuter, access to the nearby North West motorway network is readily available, as is Manchester International Airport and the rail station has links to Chester and Manchester. Excellent education facilities cater for children of most ages in both the state and private sectors.
