Set on prestigious Marlborough Road in Bowdon, this substantial Victorian residence offers generous family living across approximately 4,468 sq ft. The house retains strong period character — high ceilings, bay windows and an elegant formal hall — and sits on a large, mature plot with an enclosed private courtyard, gated driveway and detached garage.
Accommodation includes six double bedrooms, five reception rooms, three bathrooms and converted lower-ground cellars, providing flexibility for family, home office or leisure uses. The layout and sizeable footprint make the house especially suitable for growing families who value formal entertaining space alongside practical everyday rooms.
The property presents clear potential to improve value: the EPC is currently band E (score 50) with projected improvement to band C (score 74), and there is scope for sympathetic modernisation or extension subject to consents. Buyers should note the house is constructed of solid brick (likely no cavity insulation), and the finish requires updating to meet modern energy and comfort standards.
Practical considerations: council tax is described as quite expensive; broadband speeds are fast and the local area is very affluent with low crime and excellent nearby schools. This is a rare, sizeable period home in a quiet, treelined location offering immediate family comfort and significant potential for enhancement.
