An executive home in the prestigious Poynton Parkland extending to over 4200 sq ft within a private gated 0.31 acre plot with panoramic gardens, lake views and a Gatehouse annexe.
Lake View and The Gate House stand within a generous plot neighbouring woodland within the much sought after Poynton Park, overlooking Poynton Pool to the front. The property stands well back from this quiet lane behind specimen trees and a secure gated long sweeping driveway with parking for several vehicles and picturesque panoramic gardens.
Lake View is a bespoke built late 1970's/1980's house which has been beautifully improved and extended over recent years to create an executive home in a prime setting, yet still offers tremendous versatility regarding the generous well balanced accommodation, and further potential to renovate The Gate House should one require. The property has been upgraded and impeccably maintained by the current owners and extends to over 4000 sq ft of living space.
The property is entered through an attractive door with pretty lattice windows into the spacious entrance hallway. To the left of the hallway is the impressive 20'0 double aspect living room with beautiful views over the front and side gardens and French doors leading to the side of the property. This room forms part of the 2002 extension and is a great addition to the main part of the home and suits a plethora of needs. Further along the hallway there is a useful cloaks cupboard and the hallway corridor opens into the grand inner entrance hall with WC off, and a bespoke open turning walnut staircase creating an exceptional central feature of the home.
Leading off the hallway is the beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room which has been recently upgraded to include hand painted cream shaker style units with Brazilian granite worktops and tiled flooring. There is a range of comprehensive appliances including an electric Rangemaster cooker, space for an American fridge freezer and an integrated Hotpoint dishwasher. This room enjoys a triple aspect over the gardens and is flooded with natural light creating the perfect space for informal dining with a delightful feature bay window and French doors leading into the gardens. A spacious fitted utility lies off the kitchen with modern units and work tops and space for a washing machine, dryer and an undercounter fridge. Lying off the kitchen is an exceptional triple aspect sitting room which provides a cosy and relaxing ambience with traditional inglenook fireplace, concrete hearth and a living flame gas fire. A formal dining room completes the downstairs accommodation with French doors into the garden.
To the first floor, the galleried landing with walnut staircase leads to six generously proportioned double bedrooms. There is a spectacular 19'10 principal bedroom suite, with fitted wardrobes, a walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary en suite with shower. This principal suite benefits from vaulted ceilings, a triple aspect and glorious views over Poynton Lake. Bedroom two and bedroom three are also substantially sized suites. Bedroom two enjoys views over the lake and is finished with fitted wardrobes and a modern en suite with a separate bath and shower. Bedroom three benefits from newly fitted furniture and a double aspect over the gardens. The three remaining bedrooms are generously proportioned. A house bathroom, with floor to ceiling tiles and a bath and separate shower completes the first floor accommodation.
The detached Grade II* listed Gatehouse dates from 1753 and the first floor was added in the early 1900's. This property extends to over 400 sq ft and is currently being used as a gym and a cinema room but could be converted into a home office if needed.
Externally, the property stands in excellent sized landscaped panoramic gardens which have been maintained to an exemplary standard. There is an integral double garage with inspection pit, an electric car charging point and fitted security lights around the outside of the property.
