DESCRIPTION
Windmill house is a delightful Cheshire farmhouse believed to date to the 1840's. Originally used as a working farm for the Carden Park Estate, the house was subsequently turned into a private residence and sympathetically extended and improved.
Accessed through power assisted gates and a large sweeping gravelled driveway, the house stands in a glorious semi-rural position with spectacular views over Carden Park Golf Course and land extending in total to approximately five acres. The house has been maintained to a good standard in recent times with timber framed double glazing installed throughout and all electrical work and re-pointing addressed within the last ten years.
Internally the accommodation is spacious and versatile, offering a superb arrangement for a family. The layout opens with a large dining hall with staircase rising to first floor and door leading through to the remaining downstairs accommodation. The other principal reception rooms include living room with Cheshire brick fireplace, formal dining room, family room, drawing room and large farmhouse style breakfast kitchen with oil fired 'Aga'.
