5 Description Thieves Hollow is one of the finest country houses in the area, constructed and designed by W Worthington in a butterfly Arts & Crafts design, out of brick rendered elevations with hand-made toughened glass double-glazed mullioned windows, surmounted by an attractive stone graduated roof. Electrically operated entrance and exit gates with tarmacadam driveway lead to a large parking and turning area to the front of the house and lodge. The house enjoys a very private, secluded, elevated position, nestled in its stunning mature grounds, with the rear of the house enjoying sublime south facing views. The butterfly design allows the house to bask in the sunlight at all times of the day, with the main receptions and bedrooms enjoying the southerly orientation and views all this on one of the most prestigious roads in Prestbury. The exterior of the house is impressive, with grand brick chimneys rising up from the roofline, with wisteria-adorned elevations, punctured by mullioned leaded windows, flooding the house with natural light. The artistry of the exterior is only amplified by the interior, with a catalogue of truly outstanding features. The galleried and panelled grand entrance hall is particularly outstanding, with its oak panelled and upholstered walls with balustrade staircase, stained glass window and stone fireplace with carved overmantel.

6 There is an abundance of period charm in the solid oak doors, oak cornicing, stone floors, oak panelled and floored drawing room, oak panelled study, dining room with Inglenook style fireplace, upholstered walls in the grand hall and master suite and lastly, a painted panelled sitting room with large stone fireplace. At the heart of the ground floor is the 31 2 (9.49m) breakfast kitchen, due south facing, with bespoke hand-made units housing an Aga, set into a stone archway recess and an enormous granite-topped central island. The first floor has a breathtaking master suite, with double height bedrooms, south, east and west facing, with exposed carved trusses. Off the bedroom is a large, beautifully fitted en suite bathroom and dressing room. A small set of stairs from the inner landing leads to a private sitting room to the master suite. There are four further bedroom suites on this floor, all en suite, two with sitting rooms and one with a dressing room. Also accessed off the first floor hallway is an additional dressing room, laundry cupboard and laundry chute, leading down to the utility room. The second floor contains bedrooms six and seven, both of which have en suite shower rooms. To the eastern elevation of the house sits, at present, a totally separate lodge, containing three rooms, a kitchen and separate WC. This lodge has a myriad of different uses, from secondary staff accommodation, office accommodation through to leisure suite.

Property Information Services: Mains electricity and water, oil fired central heating, septic tank drainage. Local Authority & Council Tax: Cheshire East Council. Telephone: Tax Band H. 2, payable for 2014/15. Agents Note: In 2005, planning permission was granted for internal alterations to the house and for a sizeable swimming pool/leisure suite (see floor plans), application number 05/0299P. The internal and external alterations were undertaken but the leisure suite was never completed. However, as there was only one application and part of the works were completed, we are led to believe by the architect, Nigel Daly Design, that the permission is not time expired and is still valid. It is up to the potential purchaser to clarify the situation.
