A WONDERFUL, SUPERBLY RENOVATED, DETACHED PERIOD HOUSE WITH EXCELLENT OUTBUILDINGS AND SPECIAL SOUTH WEST FACING GARDENS, 500 YARDS FROM AUDLEM VILLAGE CENTRE.
Summary - Reception Hall, Study/Library, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen/Breakfast Room open to Sitting Room, Rear Hall, Cloakroom, Laundry, Basement Bedroom No. 5 with Shower Room, Landing, Principle Suite comprising Bedroom, Dressing Room and Bathroom, Bedroom/Study, Two further Double Bedrooms, Family Bathroom, Propane Gas Central Heating (part underfloor), Hardwood Double Glazed Windows, Large Car Parking and Turning Area, Brick Garage/Store, Three Car Brick Garage Block with Hobby/Games Room above, Brick Garden Store, Summerhouse, Brick and Glazed Greenhouse, Gardens. About .90 of an acre.
Description - Limehurst, constructed of mellow brick under a slate roof is believed to date back to 1795 and is not listed. The approach, off Woore Road, is through electrically operated gates over a stone set parking area in front of the garage leading to a further blocked paved parking area with a turning circle. The owners of Limehurst have over the last 15 years, with considerable capital expenditure, dedicated themselves to the mission of helping this property reach its full potential. They have drawn together a team of top professionals to produce the exceptional home that is has become, with an unstinting commitment to quality, meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful intelligent design in every regard. The character and presence of the house remains central, yet there has been many tasteful and high quality modifications that deliver for modern family life. A prime example of this is the superb bespoke kitchen/breakfast/sitting room by Meesons with Miele appliances. The end result is a visually stunning area with lantern roof light and French windows to the South facing garden.
The magnificent gardens have matured over the years and form a particular feature of Limehurst.
