Description
In a desirable semi-rural setting on Moggie Lane near Poynton village, Wards End Farm is a substantial 1850s farmhouse upgraded by the present owner, retaining original features and period character. Set in 0.58 of an acre of private grounds, its approximately 3,034 sq ft (including garage), includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, versatile reception rooms and an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. A detached garage, secure gated parking and potential for a fifth bedroom or annexe complete the offering.

At the heart of the recently extended and upgraded home is an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space extending over 29ft. The German Leicht kitchen features contemporary cabinetry, quartz worktops, a timber-finished breakfast area and integrated neff ovens, a built-in microwave and dishwasher. A bar station with sink and under-counter fridge, together with a Sonos sound system, complements the entertaining space. The kitchen area benefits from underfloor heating.

Flowing directly from the kitchen, the family area provides a relaxed seating space beside the breakfast island. An exposed timber-framed wall adds period character, contrasting with the contemporary cabinetry, tiled flooring and underfloor heating continues throughout the open-plan space. Opening directly off the kitchen area, the front garden offers an inviting setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, with a broad paved seating terrace framed by established hedging and mature trees.

Steps from the kitchen lead into the cottage’s original reception room, where an exposed timber-framed wall adds warmth and rustic character, an oak-mantled fireplace with a wood-burning stove provides a focal point. A further cosy snug centres on a gas-effect wood-burning stove with glazed double doors that open directly onto the paved terrace, connecting the room with the garden. The staircase within this room leads to the first-floor bedroom accommodation.

A contemporary glazed passage overlooking the stone-flagged courtyard connects the main house to the versatile utility, office and guest accommodation. This area includes a mezzanine floor, shower room and WC, laundry facilities and storage. It provides space for home working or guests, with potential to create a self-contained annexe or fifth bedroom, subject to any necessary consents.

On the first floor are four generous bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with a modern en-suite comprising a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC. Three of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. Recently remodelled, the family bathroom blends contemporary finishes with original character, featuring a freestanding bath with matt black fittings, a fluted-glass walk-in shower, floating vanity, quality tiling, statement lighting and exposed beams.

Outside, the grounds extend to 0.58 of an acre and offer a high degree of privacy. A detached garage provides parking or storage, complemented by secure gated off-road parking for several vehicles.
