Perched at the end of a gently curving drive in the heart of Whitegate, this handsome red-brick home feels more like a private retreat than a house number. Beyond its solid timber gate—set between a low brick wall and neatly clipped hedges—rises an Edwardian-inspired façade of steep gables and graceful bay windows, an address that whispers of refined country living even as it fronts one of the village’s most coveted roads.
Step through the heavy oak door into a welcoming entrance hall, where the original staircase soaks up the afternoon light from a high-set picture window. To your left, a discreet cloakroom sits ready for guests; to your right, convenient under-stairs storage keeps everyday clutter out of sight. Directly ahead, twin doors open to the formal dining room, its generous proportions setting the scene for candlelit suppers and long, laughter-filled evenings. But it’s further in where the home truly unfolds slip through into the lounge, warmed by the glow of a generous brick fireplace and framed by a deep bay window. A deliberately inviting corner—ideal for curling up with a book or sharing quiet conversation—flows effortlessly into an informal family area.
Wander down the hall to discover the bespoke kitchen, its hand-finished cabinetry and polished granite worktops laid out in a thoroughly practical arrangement, with generous storage and integrated benches for casual dining. Picture lazy weekend breakfasts or pre-dinner drinks here, the garden views framed by swallows flitting past the rear doors. When the mood strikes, those doors beckon you onto a broad sun terrace, perfect for alfresco feasts. Beyond, mature hedges give way to almost 60 feet of level lawn, its southern aspect edged by oaks and yews that border the fairways of Vale Royal Golf Club—its rolling greens just a rustle of leaves away.
Ascend to the first floor, where four generous double bedrooms await. The main suite is a light-filled sanctuary, its bay window dressed in soft drapes and flanked by two walk-in wardrobes, with a tiled en-suite shower room that feels more spa than spare. The second bedroom enjoys its own en-suite, while Bedrooms Three and Four share a beautifully appointed family bathroom complete with separate bath and walk-in shower.
Outside, the gated gravel driveway leads directly to a detached double garage, with adjacent space ideal for a generous utility room. Enclosed by fast-growing yew, laurel and hornbeam, the south-facing garden delivers complete privacy and a serene backdrop for tranquil mornings spent with a cup of coffee on the terrace.
