A spacious period apartment situated in the historic Grade II Listed Vale Royal Abbey with a pleasant outlook over the beautifully manicured gardens and grounds.
Location
Vale Royal Abbey is a historic and prestigious estate located in the heart of the county. Dating back to the 13th century, The Clock Tower is set within stunning landscaped gardens and grounds offering a unique blend of history, elegance and tranquillity yet accessible for areas of commerce in the picturesque village of Whitegate.
Transport links are excellent, making it easy for residents and visitors to travel to and from Vale Royal Abbey as it is located just off A556 motorway, which provides easy access to Manchester and Chester. There are also several train stations in the area, including Hartford and nearby stations in Northwich and Winsford, which connect the town to other parts of Cheshire and beyond. Additionally, Manchester Airport is located just 30 minutes away by car, making it easy to travel further afield.
The Accommodation
Vale Royal Abbey is an architecturally impressive building dating back to the 13th century. The Abbey’s South Range, where the Clock Tower is located, was designed and built by renowned Architects John Douglas and Edward Blore in the 19th century creating a beautiful outlook over the simply stunning ornamental gardens and pond. The vendor acquired The Clock Tower and the neighbouring apartment to create a substantial 3,175sq.ft home and has continued to maintain the property to an exemplary standard although there is no doubt it may benefit from a scheme of modernisation should one wish. The accommodation is very comfortable being arranged over two floors with gas central heating and period features throughout. There is no doubt properties of this stature are rare and offer a unique style of living in a manorial setting.
The front door leads into a spacious communal reception hall with access to two apartments including the Clock Tower. The hallway is of an open arrangement with staircase to the first floor and an opening to the inner hall with high ceilings and exposed timbers throughout. To either side of the hall are the principal reception rooms comprising lounge and open plan kitchen with breakfast room. The Lounge is a comfortable family room with a more formal atmosphere and a lovely garden outlook through tall mullion windows. The kitchen and breakfast room is a particularly impressive room with a spiral staircase and feature lantern allowing lots of natural light. Beyond is Bedroom one and two with a shower room although it is conceivable that this could create a master bedroom suite with dressing room should one require.
The second-floor accommodation is accessed from the hall onto the landing off which is the spacious principal bedroom suite with shower room and separate dressing room. Adjacent are two further bedrooms and the family bathroom. To complete the spacious accommodation is the main feature of the home with a beautiful sitting room with imposing A frame timbers and full height ceiling. In all the living accommodation expands to approximately 292sq.m (3,145sq.ft).
Outside
Vale Royal Abbey is approached through the estate onto a parking area with four parking spaces. A pedestrian wrought iron gate leads into the elegantly manicured gardens and grounds which are a profound feature of The Clock Tower, being meticulously maintained and kept creating a wonderful and well stocked haven. The surrounding gardens are beautifully presented having an abundance of mature trees and perennial shrubbery interspersed enclosed by a brick wall. A expansive patio runs the perimeter of the property with a large sitting area outside in addition to walkways enjoying a bright sunny aspect for the majority of the day.
