This historic residence is undoubtedly one of Cheshire’s finest homes. ‘Bowdon Old Hall’ originally dates back to 1200 although the current property was constructed in the 1600’s with an extensive remodel in the 1800’s. Today, the property retains a wealth of beautifully restored original features and will appeal to those seeking a home of charm and immense character. Whilst the current owners have updated the property to meet the demands of modern living, those alterations (such as creating a stylish open plan kitchen that is very much the beating heart of the house), blend naturally with the original aesthetics of the house. The accommodation extends to over 5500 sq ft and is arranged around a magnificent entrance hall. There is a beautifully appointed library with original panelled walls, tapestry inserts and feature open fireplace. The elegant drawing room, currently used as a snooker room is positioned to the rear of the house and enjoys pleasing views over the rear gardens. The family room is an excellent sized and boasts a feature bay window to the rear and open fireplace. The handmade Charles Yorke kitchen is a fitted with an extensive range of wall, drawer and base units with high quality integrated appliances. The central island offers ample seating and is perfect for informal entertaining and socialising, whilst the adjoining dining room comfortably accommodates a table and 12+ chairs. French doors from the kitchen open directly to the south facing rear terrace, creating an excellent relationship between the house and gardens. The ancillary accommodation includes a utility area and cloaks/wc and stairs provide access to the three cellar chambers that house a traditional wine cellar and a laundry room. At first floor the light and airy master bedroom suite extends the full depth of house and has a dressing room and contemporary shower room. Bedroom two also has its own en suite and is positioned to the rear of the house and thus enjoys views over the lawned gardens. Bedroom three is also an excellent sized and is served by the luxurious family bathroom. The second floor accommodation is designed with versatility in mind. There are two bedroom suites that would be ideal for older children or dependent relatives. The two suites are served by a family shower room. Prospective purchasers may choose to reconfigure these rooms to create en suites to the bedrooms (subject to the necessary consents). The property stands in truly impressive grounds that extend to 1.5 acres. The rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and enjoy a south facing aspect. There is a historic lawn tennis court with summer house that could be reinstated and there are several other outbuildings dotted around the grounds. There is a swimming pool that sits adjacent to the house that could be upgraded to create a swimming/spa facility. There is a detached garage and a driveway provides off road parking for several vehicles.
