A rare opportunity to acquire this immaculately refurbished five bedroom Victorian Villa dating back to 1863, positioned on the edge of Alderley Edge village, extending to 4,203 sq ft.
Set on one of Alderley Edge’s most coveted cobbled roads, The Ferns is an exceptional semi-detached Victorian villa that combines classical architecture with modern family luxury. Built in striking buttermilk-coloured London brick and defined by elegant arched windows, the property enjoys a peaceful position on Tempest Road, a charming loop off Woodbrook Road, just moments from the village.
The home’s Victorian heritage is reflected in its grand proportions, high ceilings and beautifully detailed interiors. The current owners have extended and refurbished the property with great care and consideration, creating a warm, refined and highly functional family home.
The heart of the house is undoubtedly the stunning bespoke kitchen, a standout space featuring an impressive marble island, oil-fired Aga and underfloor heating. This opens into a light-filled dining area with roof light and bifold doors leading directly onto a sun terrace, ideal for family living and entertaining. The adjoining living room mirrors this connection with the garden, offering another relaxed space with bifold doors onto the terrace and views across the landscaped grounds.
To one side of the kitchen is a versatile games room, and to the other, a beautifully appointed drawing room with chevron parquet flooring and a marble fire surround. Large windows frame views of the gardens and enhance the sense of light and space. Thoughtful design touches abound, including concealed mirrored doors in the dining room that discreetly reveal the utility room and WC. Original nooks and alcoves offer charming and practical storage throughout.
Across the upper two floors are five generous bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite and a newly fitted, spacious family bathroom. The layout has been carefully configured to support flexible, modern living while retaining the property’s period character.
Set into The Edge, the terraced gardens have been landscaped with care, incorporating lawned terraces, mature planting and far-reaching views. A charming children’s summer house adds a playful touch, while the large, paved terrace is accessed from both the kitchen and living room and provides an ideal setting for alfresco dining and entertaining.
Behind automated gates, a private driveway leads to a double garage with a newly finished floor and an adjoining room, well suited for use as a home office or studio.
