Woodbrook Road, Alderley Edge SK9

An exceptional Gothic-influenced villa originally constructed c.1850 and located within this highly regarded area of Alderley Edge. Offering generous family accommodation, complimented by well-maintained grounds.

Description

The Gables is an outstanding mid-19th-century residence positioned on the highly distinguished Woodbrook Road, within the Alderley Edge Conservation Area. Constructed circa 1850, this remarkable home showcases strong Gothic revival influences, with its rock-faced stone walls, dramatic steep gables, arched entrance, and elegant stone detailing. Its presence is striking, softened by mature climbing greenery and framed by tall sash windows that capture the character of the period.

Providing an impressive 4,529 sq ft of living space, The Gables offers extensive, beautifully proportioned accommodation that blends historic charm with the scale required for modern family living. Its location on one of Alderley Edge's most prestigious residential roads places it amongst architecturally significant Victorian villas, reinforcing its appeal. The property stands within generous, mature grounds with lawns, established shrubs and trees, and a cobbled approach that elevates both privacy and sense of arrival.

As you step inside, the sense of scale and refinement becomes immediately apparent. A welcoming entrance hall leads into an elegant and notably spacious reception hall, a central feature of the home that sets the tone with its high ceilings and period detailing. From here, the principal reception rooms radiate in traditional Victorian fashion. The drawing room offers beautiful proportions and tall windows framing views of the gardens, making it an ideal formal reception room. Adjacent to this lies a formal dining room, perfectly suited to hosting elegant dinners and family celebrations.
