A distinguished period residence with exquisite interiors, landscaped grounds and outstanding leisure facilities extending to 7,401 sq ft in just under 5.5 acres
Robins Cob is a magnificent, substantial period home, seamlessly blending heritage architecture with sympathetic modern extensions. The house enjoys a sublime setting, surrounded by its own gardens and paddock land, offering complete privacy and captivating views from every elevation. The interiors are an exquisite balance of period elegance and contemporary refinement. Expansive rooms feature panelled walls, stone fireplaces, and flagstone floors, all enhanced by a carefully curated decorative scheme.
At the heart of the home lies an exceptional Clive Christian kitchen/breakfast room, open to a light-filled morning room. This vast, sociable space features a four-oven AGA, large central island, and three sets of French doors opening to the swimming pool courtyard. Adjoining is a temperature-controlled wine room, utility room, and cloakroom. The formal reception rooms are steeped in character, a panelled games room with fitted bar, a gracious sitting room with large inglenook fireplace, and a drawing room with stone floor and carved stone fireplace. A panelled study and secondary cloakroom complete the ground floor.
The principal suite is a statement in luxury, beautifully presented with hand crafted furniture, a fully fitted dressing room, and an en suite shower room with twin showers and twin vanity units. French doors open to a private terrace overlooking the pool. Above the principle suite is a gym with shower room. Bedroom two features a dressing room and separate WC; bedroom three benefits from an en suite shower room, while bedroom four completes the accommodation.
Externally the property is approached through solid electric gates flanked by brick piers, the gravel driveway sweeps past illuminated coach lamps to a parking and turning area with a stone water feature. To the front, mature lawns are framed by trees and shrubs. The rear gardens extend across manicured lawns to a tree-lined stream, interspersed with a series of ornamental lakes and fountains, stocked with irises and water lilies. The mellow brick courtyard, accessed from the morning room, centres around a heated swimming pool with stone-flagged terraces. A spiral staircase ascends to the first-floor terrace, providing elevated views across the grounds.
The property also boasts an AstroTurf tennis court, brick-built garden/machinery store, and planning permission (21/2550M 29.06.21) for a 10m x 15m contemporary garden room, designed with a largely glazed frontage to capture sweeping views of the landscaped gardens. The grounds extend to about 5.44 acres.
Robins Cob offers the perfect synthesis of timeless architecture, refined interiors, and outstanding leisure facilities, all within a glorious setting that is both private and remarkably well connected. For those seeking a country home which lies just beyond on the fringe of the South Manchester conurbation and all the benefits which that entails but prefer not to be completely isolated, Robins Cob should be simply ideal.
