Peover Lane, Chelford, SK11

An exceptional country house on the outskirts of Chelford Village standing within wonderful landscaped south facing gardens and grounds, including a swimming pool, of about an acre, extended and refurbished and offering lovely, balanced family accommodation together with an excellent separate 800 sq ft self-contained annexe.

Peover Lane is a popular and sought after road on the outskirts of Chelford Village, home to some substantial properties which in the main, like Hinton Cottage, enjoy a superb southerly aspect at the rear. The gardens and grounds have been beautifully structured and maintained and enjoy a gated entrance with a large gravel driveway leading to the garaging. They include formal lawns, terraces, planted Yew hedging and hidden garden areas suitable for growing and a vegetable garden. Adjacent to the annex is a beautifully fashioned pool deck with outdoor heated swimming pool.

The house was transformed during the redevelopment programme which finished in 2016 and is presented in a stylish fashion throughout. A covered porch leads through to a huge reception dining hall with a large galleried landing and a beautiful dark wooden floor which also runs into the principal reception room. A fixed full-height glass pane enjoys views of the terrace and garden to the rear and there is a fitted range of cabinets and a bookcase. The main formal reception room is a triple aspect room with an elegant open fireplace and a matching dark wooden floor. Double doors off the hall lead through to the less formal part of the house - a very spacious kitchen dining living room with banks of glazing overlooking the gardens and an oversized porcelain tiled floor. This multi-use space is a wonderful area with a bespoke family sitting section and a large open-plan kitchen and dining area with a range of Siematic cabinets and range of Gaggenau appliances. Leading off the kitchen is a study or third sitting room, which overlooks the grounds at the front and also a good sized utility room and large downstairs WC.

At first floor level there are five large double bedrooms and four bathrooms, the main bedroom suite is a wonderful room with full-height glazing overlooking the rear gardens and beyond with a good sized glass balustrade balcony. It has a dark wooden floor and a freestanding bath in the bedroom area, a walk-in dressing room and a lovely en suite shower room - beautifully finished with a contemporary suite including twin basins and a large walk-in shower enclosure. There are two further good sized double bedrooms with small en suite shower rooms and two further large double bedrooms - one currently used as a sitting room, which are served by a spacious family bathroom with four piece suite including a bath and separate shower cubicle.

To the side of the house is a good sized outbuilding accessed by a secondary gated approach to a front forecourt and this includes a double garage to the front and a splendid annexe beyond. Fitted to an excellent standard, it is currently configured as a large guest studio to the rear with bi-fold doors leading out to the pool terrace, which includes a fitted Siematic kitchen and space for a sitting dining and bedroom area. It enjoys an en suite shower room with a jack-and-jill door leading through to a good sized gymnasium which could become a lounge or bedroom for the annexe, and has a range of bi-fold doors leading out to the garden.

The heated swimming pool enjoys an electric retractable cover and is a lovely summer feature lined with pleached trees and adjoining the main formal lawn.

The gardens are a tremendous feature of the house, sloping away at the rear towards a pretty stream.
