Summary - Bollington Lodge, Congleton Road, Nether Alderley SK10 4TD
5 bed 3 bath Detached
7,300+ sq ft Georgian house with formal gardens and private gated drive.
Circa 7.31 acres of formal gardens, woodland, paddock and ponds
Bollington Lodge is a rare, historic estate set within circa 7.31 acres of manicured gardens, ancient woodland, ponds and paddock. The Georgian/Edwardian house offers an elegant sequence of reception rooms, fine original details — sash glazing, carved coving, Georgian shutters and Versaille oak floors — and generous proportions throughout its 7,304 sq ft. The principal bedroom includes a dressing room and en suite; there is a bespoke kitchen with an Aga and a detached triple garage and outbuildings including a dovecote.
This home will suit buyers seeking a significant country residence with formal gardens and privacy: a gated carriage drive delivers a sense of arrival and the grounds provide scope for leisure, equestrian or smallholding uses. Local independent and highly regarded state schools are within reach, and the property sits in an affluent, low-crime rural setting with excellent mobile and fast broadband.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The house is of solid brick construction predating 1900 and likely lacks modern wall insulation; heating is by LPG boiler and radiators, and glazing is a mix including original sash and some double glazing of unknown date. Council tax is very expensive, and the scale of the house and grounds will require ongoing maintenance. Buyers should allow for running costs and potential retrofit works to improve thermal performance.
Overall, Bollington Lodge is a striking, character-rich country estate that offers immediate grandeur and long-term potential. It will appeal to families or executives seeking privacy, historic character and expansive grounds, while buyers wanting a modern, low-maintenance home should factor in necessary upkeep and energy upgrades.
