Situated in a conservation area on the edge of Tatton Park and a stone’s throw from the heart of Knutsford town centre, The Tower House is superbly located for all the amenities that Knutsford has to offer.
Knutsford’s two streets, Princess Street and King Street, form the hub of the town, with a good range of independent shops, bars, restaurants and tearooms, as well as several supermarkets. At the top of Drury Lane is the entrance to Tatton Park, home to 50 acres of landscaped gardens and deer parkland as well as summer festivals and the biennial RHS Flower Show.
For those seeking the active lifestyle, the majority of sporting activities take place on Mereheath Lane, a two-minute walk from the property. Here you will find Knutsford Sports Club (tennis, squash, cricket and archery) a bowling club, Knutsford Golf Club, and Egerton Youth and Football Club. On the other side of the town is Knutsford Leisure Centre, which offers a swimming pool and a plethora of other activities.
On the educational front, there are five pre-schools/nurseries and four state primary schools in the town, which feed into Knutsford Academy.
