The Development & Setting
Kennels Green is a small and exclusive development of just 14 individual homes, arranged around an attractive central courtyard green within the magnificent parkland setting of the Arley Hall Estate. Built by PH Property Holdings in 2008, it is approached via a private driveway bordered by well-maintained paddocks and parkland and enjoys a particularly peaceful rural setting which lies in between Knutsford, Northwich and Stockton Heath. Despite its secluded position, Junction 19 of the M6 is within approximately five minutes' drive, providing excellent access to the wider motorway network. Knutsford is 6 miles away, about 10/15 minutes.
The properties were constructed to a particularly high specification, combining traditional natural materials with contemporary architectural detailing. Notable features include efficient air-source underfloor heating, Villeroy & Boch bathroom fittings, natural limestone tiling, solid oak barn-style internal doors and an impressive oak and steel-framed glass balustrade staircase.
Ground Floor
A wide and spacious central reception hallway provides an impressive introduction to the accommodation, with access to the principal reception rooms and the impressive contemporary staircase.
The principal lounge is positioned at the front of the house and enjoys a dual aspect, with windows overlooking both the courtyard and the gardens. It provides a particularly attractive reception space, centred around a stylish stone fireplace incorporating a contemporary cast-iron stove.
An open archway from the hallway leads through to a generous separate dining room, comfortably accommodating an eight-seater dining table and enjoying good natural light from a front-facing window.
To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast/family room provides an excellent triple use everyday living space, with French doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary cream gloss cabinetry, beautifully contrasted by black granite work surfaces, together with a comprehensive range of quality integrated appliances. The adjoining breakfast area is particularly generous, with ample room for both informal dining and additional seating. It is large enough to provide a good informal seating area, as is the preferred fashion today.
A separate utility room lies beyond the kitchen, fitted with matching cabinetry and providing useful additional storage and direct access to the rear garden.
First Floor
The first-floor landing leads to four generous double bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom suite with built-in wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom. The en-suite features high-quality Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware, a large bath and separate shower enclosure, with natural limestone tiling creating an elegant and timeless finish.
The remaining bedrooms are all genuine double rooms and are served by a further quality family bathroom, similarly finished to a high standard.
Outside
The property enjoys an attractive and private garden to the rear, backing directly onto a mature line of trees, beyond which are pleasant open aspects across the neighbouring parkland.
The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped, with a substantial stone-flagged terrace immediately adjoining the house and a matching pathway leading through to a further seating terrace in the rear corner. Well-stocked shrub borders and established flowerbeds provide colour and interest, creating an attractive and manageable outdoor space.
There are two allocated parking spaces, accessed from the rear through a garden gate, together with the additional benefit of a single garage.
Garage
Two private parking spaces in addition to garage
