House For Sale £2,250,000
An immaculate detached barn conversion with spacious and flexible accommodation extending to over 4,000 sq ft, situated in the most wonderful picturesque rural location at the end of a tranquil country lane, yet just two minutes’ drive into Prestbury village centre.
Forming part of the Lower Gadhole Farm Estate, Skyfall is the predominant property of five homes, and sits adjacent to three newly constructed contemporary houses. The original farm is privately owned with a range of stables and a cottage and the residue of the former farmland.
The barn is set out over three floors with its main living accommodation on the upper floor, designed to enjoy the expansive rural views over open countryside towards the Pennines in the distance. Over the course of the last twelve months Skyfall has undergone an extensive re-fit, and today is presented beautifully throughout with quality fittings and a sense of genuine style. It stands in it’s own grounds with parking for a number of cars at the front, and the five homes are accessed via a secure remote controlled electric gate. To the rear of the house is a decked area suitable for al fresco dining with a lawned garden beyond, all overlooking an adjoining open countryside.
The accommodation flows really well and the three floors are set around a stunning part panelled reception hall with a high vaulted glass ceiling and gallery, with a stone floor and superb pitched pine staircase. The first floor landing with glass balustrade hovers over the hallway.
The reception accommodation is on the upper floor and includes a stunning large lounge/drawing room with central wood burning stove and a high vaulted ceiling. This room enjoys a fantastic view from a raised first floor terrace over the surrounding land and has roof lights running the length of the room providing a wonderful light quality. The kitchen breakfast/family room is beautifully fitted, the kitchen having been installed in 2021/2022 with a matching vaulted glazed ceiling and windows overlooking two sides including a walk out balcony at the front. There are a range of hand painted style cabinets with a large central island, all stone topped, incorporating a sink unit and a range of built-in appliances which include a free-standing range cooker, dishwasher, oven, fridge and freezer and a back-lit breakfast cabinet with wooden top. The kitchen is large enough for a dining and sofa arrangement.
The bedrooms are set out over the ground floor, the main bedroom with a full length window to the front, a walk-in dressing room and large en-suite stone lined bathroom with a period style suite. Three further bedrooms all beautifully decorated have en-suite shower rooms with high quality fittings, and bedroom five enjoys it’s own separate access and includes a large bedroom with French doors to a front terrace, a lobby area and side door, a large inner hallway and lovely split level bathroom, and it could potentially be used as a fully self-contained annex.
The lower ground floor includes a lobby, WC, utility and boiler room as well as a store room/office, and there is an excellent games room or gymnasium as it is currently configured which enjoys it’s own access via an external stairway if required. There is also a fitted sauna.
Mottram St Andrew is a charming and sought after rural parish that lies to the east of Prestbury on the road into Wilmslow. The surrounding countryside is exquisite, undulating and full of interest. The excellent Bulls Head Pub is just a moment away by car and the village centre at Prestbury, walkable in just under 10 minutes, caters for exceptional day to day facilities now including a village store and a number of good restaurants and eateries. Macclesfield railway station is ten minutes’ by car giving direct access on the mainline to London and there are both state and private schools in particularly the Kings School at Macclesfield that are within five to 10 minutes minutes’ drive from the house.
