Here is a selection of million-pound homes for sale with Meller Braggins to inspire you on your search. Be sure to check back on our listings from time to time, as you never know when your dream home might come to market.
Chelford Road, Knutsford
Starting with something traditional, we have a lovely 4-bedroom home believed in part to date back to the 16th century when the property was a farmhouse. West Court is the west wing of the Old Court House, which is part of the Booths Hall Estate which has been the family seat of the Pennington-Leghs for over 400 years.
The house is built of brick under a charming slated roof, offering a well-presented and good-sized home for families, set within beautiful secluded grounds. As a Grade II listed building, the property retains several attractive period features in conjunction with all the modern conveniences you would expect from a contemporary home.
Of particular note is the fabulous Garden Room which was completed in 2007 and is constructed of exposed old stock brick also having a vaulted ceiling with reclaimed oak beams and trusses. The room has been designed to take full advantage of the property’s gardens, with bi-fold doors that take in the ground’s most south-westerly aspect.
Further modifications to the property extend to its fully bespoke kitchen, which was extended in 2018 and fitted to the highest standards with a range cooker, granite working surfaces and a Belfast-style sink with a Quooker boiling water tap.
This is a charming property that needs to be seen to be believed. If you’d like to see more, you’ll find the full property listing here.
