Features of particular note include the impressive entrance hall with pitch pine wall panelling, the open plan living kitchen with Mark Wilkinson Kitchen with AGA and integrated appliances, and the five reception rooms with open fireplaces and exuding charm and character throughout. Designed with practicality in mind there is a spacious boot room, secondary kitchen and laundry.

There is an immaculate leisure suite with indoor swimming pool, gym, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. With 9 bedrooms in the main house (principal with en-suite and dressing) plus an additional two-bedroom annexe with Mark Wilkinson kitchen and media room.

Set in immaculately manicured gardens and grounds extending to approximately 3.3 acres, Mellor Knowl enjoys an elevated position overlooking the grounds which include the croquet lawn, lily pond, stunning mature trees and outdoor pool.

There is substantial garaging and various outbuildings including the pavilion with music room above.

Situated in the village of Wincle on the border of Cheshire and Staffordshire, Mellor Knowl enjoys a private position secluded in the neighbouring countryside with stunning views across the neighbouring valley.
