Constructed in 1850 in an Italianate style, this self-contained Victorian duplex apartment offers 2,600 sq ft of exceptional accommodation, a gated driveway and private gardens.
There are few properties in Alderley Edge which have undergone such comprehensive an upgrade as 2 Hazelcroft East. Built in 1850 in an Italianate style, Hazelcroft is an imposing Victorian residence of fine architectural merit and is listed in the book The Original Villas of Alderley Edge'. The building was converted into three unique properties in the 1990's.
The current owner has commissioned an extensive program of refurbishment and remodelling. Attention has been lavished on every detail using carefully selected fixtures, fittings and materials. The result is a truly exceptional home, most accurately described as a hybrid between a luxury duplex apartment and a palatial Victorian villa, offering versatile contemporary accommodation extending to over 2,600 sq ft. Perfect as a primary residence or an indulgent lock up and leave' pied-à-terre in Cheshire, this property is certain to appeal to a wide range of discerning purchasers.
The grand and oversized proportions of the original villa and rooms have been retained and fully renovated throughout. Period features include 11ft high ceilings, deep skirting boards, sash windows and stained glass detailing. These features have been enhanced and seamlessly blended with high-end modern elements throughout including a Poliform kitchen, Crittall internal doors, Bang and Olufsen integrated speaker system, Vitra and Villeroy and Boch sanitary ware.
Entered through an impressively sized custom-made front door the property makes a lasting first impression. The ground floor staircase with original cast iron railings and recessed lighting leads to a palatial hallway filled with light from the intricately detailed stained glass roof light. Off the hall accessed through Crittall doors is the generously proportioned 28ft open plan dining kitchen superbly appointed by premium German Poliform kitchen and graced with an amazing range of appliances under quartz surfaces. Siemens twin ovens, steamer, induction hob, full height fridge and freezer, dishwasher, dual sink with Cube Quooker tap and complemented by a large kitchen island with antique lighting over. This stunning space overlooks the private garden below through two full height sash windows.
The central hall leads to an indulgent master bedroom suite with separate dressing room and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom fitted with Vitra toilet, Villeroy and Boch basin, free standing Lusso stone bath, a dual walk in shower and finished with porcelain Boost' floor tiles by Atlas Concorde, a heated wall behind the towel rails and underfloor heating. Special note must be paid to the bespoke stained-glass window which has been commissioned by Cheshire Stained Glass who carry out the restoration work for English Heritage. The same windows also feature in the main family bathroom.
Along the hall is a separate living room which features sash windows, cast iron radiators, a Bang & Olufsen sound bar and a separate utility room. Completing the grand first floor accommodation is the main family bathroom which has been immaculately renovated to the same high specification as the en suite bathroom.
The upper floors, each with their own private staircase access offer two further generously proportioned double bedrooms, one of which features a fully tiled en suite shower room.
Hazelcroft East is located in the heart of the village conservation area, off a private road and enjoys an excellent frontage. Approached through red sandstone gateposts with electrically operated oak gates, the property affords three dedicated parking spaces and a generous turning area. The property benefits from a particularly attractive and generous private garden which is laid mainly to lawn with a large resin patio area to the rear providing perfect spaces for outdoor entertaining.
