Set back on one of Poynton’s most desirable roads, this substantial five-bedroom detached home offers rare scale and a private rear garden approaching 0.8 acres. The house retains strong original features — notably American oak flooring, bespoke joinery and bay windows — while offering flexible living with three reception rooms, a study and a snug/playroom. Planning permission has been granted to remodel into a six-bedroom home with a dramatic open-plan kitchen, creating clear scope to add value.
The ground floor is arranged for family life: two principal reception rooms with multi-fuel burners, a contemporary dining kitchen opening to a stone-paved patio, conservatory access to the garden, utility and guest WC. Upstairs are five double bedrooms, two en-suites and a stylish family bathroom; all bedrooms are generous in proportion. There is comfortable everyday flow and plenty of natural light throughout.
Externally the plot is a major asset. A mature front garden, long driveway and double garage provide parking and storage. The rear garden extends to almost 0.8 acres with formal and informal lawns, rose garden, summerhouse, workshop, outdoor bar and direct backing onto Wigwam Wood — excellent for privacy, play and entertaining. Proximity to highly regarded primary and secondary schools and easy access to Poynton village add practical appeal.
Important points to note: the house, built in the 1930s–1940s, will benefit from targeted updating in places to meet contemporary finishes and energy expectations. The large garden and mature planting require ongoing maintenance. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, this is a characterful, spacious family home with strong renovation and extension potential for buyers seeking a project with substantial upside.
