Property Description
An absolutely exceptional contemporary family house situated on a select gated community within the Legh Road Conservation Area.
Clova House is a simply exceptional modern house constructed originally in 1999 and forming part of the prestigious St George’s Park Development – one of three cul-de-sacs constructed by Crosby Homes in the heart of the Legh Road Conservation Area about a mile from the town centre. Clova House was acquired by our clients several years ago and has been completely remodelled to the most exceptional standard, far beyond most buyers’ expectations. The refurbishment works include a top to toe refit and reconfiguration along with a substantial rear ground floor extension opening up the whole of the ground floor in to the most wonderful entertaining space.
The quality of internal fittings is simply exceptional throughout with underfloor heating and concrete first floors. The fittings are of the highest quality and the house is furnished and impeccably presented throughout. A home automation system has been installed allowing control of lights, speakers and blinds via two iPads.
Internally, the accommodation flows superbly with several interlinking reception rooms providing a wonderful entertaining space. A main focal point is the entrance hall – a two storeyed galleried space with elliptical staircase leading to the first floor and a chequered tiled entrance lobby. A spacious downstairs WC and cloakroom lead off this space and double opening pocket doors slide through to the heart of the house, a superb informal family/sitting room and dining area with two sets of opening bi-fold doors spilling out on to the large rear terrace. This room is separated by a central living flame gas fireplace and TV enclosure with glass fronted display cabinet on the dining side and an oversized tiled floor runs throughout the entire part of this end of the house. The family area leads through in to the kitchen and the dining space has a further fitted bespoke range of cabinetry for cutlery and glassware. A superb feature adjacent to the family area is a glass fronted bespoke refrigerator wine room beautifully finished with cabinetry for both wine cases, magnums and bottles and fully temperature controlled.
The main lounge, accessed via two sets of pocket doors from the dining room and family room is a superb principal reception room with a dual aspect and bow window to the front and matching tiled floor. Fitted cabinetry sits astride the fireplace, an impressive marble living flame fire dominating the room. An open partition leads through to a snug, with matching floor and vaulted ceiling and opening bi-fold doors leading out to a covered entertaining terrace or veranda with heaters open to the garden area. The snug has a matching range of fitted cabinetry to those of the drawing room with space for a 75” TV.
The kitchen was fitted by Hetherington Newman of Knutsford with a beautiful range of hand painted cabinets and an extensive range of appliances by Gaggenau and Miele including full height fridge, freezer, wine cooler and two chiller drawers by Sub-Zero, an Aga cooker and a built-in microwave and coffee machine. This is a fabulous room with partial vaulted ceiling, windows to the side and bi-fold doors to a second covered veranda area and has a large central island with several breakfast bars, built-in sink and stunning neolith and stone worksurfaces. An adjacent utility room of matching quality including coat and boot storage provide side access.
Additional rooms on the ground floor include a study with panelled walls in part cleverly concealing cabinets and also a gymnasium with ebony oak floor, air conditioning and a range of mirrored cabinets providing space for the communications equipment.
At first floor level there are four stunning bedroom suites with an ebony oak floor throughout this level and the first floors are concrete creating a feeling of calm and stability. The main bedroom suite is a superb room with a large bedroom area with bow window overlooking the front, extensive part mirror fronted wardrobes and a good sized matching walk-in dressing room and a fabulous en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, twin wash basins, walk-in shower enclosure with huge overhead Axor soaker and wall hung WC. The three remaining bedrooms are all large double rooms differing in style but each with bespoke built-in furniture – two having en suite shower rooms and one an en suite bathroom. Each of the suites beautifully appointed with fittings of stunning quality. The property also benefits from a very large, boarded attic space.
Externally, the plot has been completely re-landscaped with a large granite set forecourt and open fronted brick car port for two cars and fitted with an EV charger. The gardens are impeccably maintained and at the rear are set out in a formal style for entertaining with a vast terraced area and two covered verandas – one with a retractable roof. The lawns have been replaced with high quality artificial grass and are enclosed by contemporary fencing, mature beech hedging and pleated trees providing a bright and sunny and very private aspect. An external large storage room sits adjacent to the carport and is also linked to the home automation system.
Rutherford Drive is a gated cul-de-sac home to just ten houses and forms one of three similar cul de sacs constructed by Crosby Homes in this exceptional part of Knutsford.
