This spectacular family home in Aughton has lavish living spaces and is perfect for entertaining.
THE VENDOR SAYS:
When was the house built?
The house was originally built in 1957, with various additions over the years.
How long have you lived in the house?
Since January 2021.
What first attracted you to it?
The plot attracted us to the house, as it is a one of a kind. There is nothing like this anywhere in Aughton that gives you a rural feel in a residential area. You feel like you're in the Lake District when you look out over the grounds.
How have you changed the house?
We have totally gutted the house inside and out from the front gates, to cutting trees back and planting trees and plants, driveway, patios, a new garage. We have extended the house, filled in the old swimming pool and created a large kitchen living space plus a utility kitchen. The property has gone from being a tired five-bedroomed home to a five-bedroomed home all with walk-in wardrobes and en-suites. There’s now a cinema room with bar, a full gym, study and all windows have been replaced with energy efficient aluminium windows and we’ve added a bespoke glass door.
What will you miss most about the house?
We will miss the privacy and beautiful gardens. This really is an amazing place to live and we worry we will never love a property as much as this.
Describe the garden:
The gardens are spacious without being too big. We have so many mature trees plus new ones to add extra privacy. The patio area is a great entertaining space and the outdoor kitchen has been a great addition. We can also enjoy the sheltered fire pit each season.
THE AGENTS SAYS:
Inside: Flawlessly designed and set in over half an acre of privately gated gardens, this incomparable trophy home is an architectural triumph that redefines luxury living. The property is arranged over three levels and showcases the highest standard of finish with decadent materials and stunning light quality throughout.
Beyond its impressive façade the home is a glorious synthesis of living spaces designed for both large-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living, with highlights including a grand reception hallway, a 533 square foot cinema room and bar area, a 40ft home gym, a gorgeous lounge with attractive feature fireplace, a large home office, cloaks, a practical utility room and a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and living area with huge sliding glass doors which lead to the outdoor entertainment areas.
Available fully furnished, this is a truly enviable opportunity to step effortlessly into a ready-made dream home.
Outside: The landscaped gardens combine with the natural backdrop of protected trees to reflect a sense of peace and quiet. The gardens surround the house and include immaculate lawned areas with mature borders and huge patio areas, with a gazebo and a fully equipped garden kitchen for stylish outdoor dining and entertaining. To the front, the gated security access gives way to a long driveway, forecourt parking and access to a detached double garage.
