Windmill Lane, Appleton, Warrington
£2,000,000

Merricourt was built at the beginning of the last century to a high standard with mellow brick walls and solid oak mullion windows under a clad hipped roof. The house itself exudes quality and comprises a fine, mature detached residence of considerable local importance, substance and charm, with some very interesting cultural connections

Whilst Merricourt is a large house with a floor area of about 5,800 sqft the main accommodation whilst well-proportioned is comfortable and eminently useable. The drawing room and dining room would grace any function and are elegantly presented and enjoy lots of light and views over the lovely gardens. The ground floor accommodation includes a day room with elevated views and access to the grounds and the fitted butler’s pantry completes the picture. On the first floor of the main house there are four principal large double bedrooms, the master suite being served by a very fine en-suite bathroom complete with flat screen T.V! The separate wing on the first floor has a further three rooms suitable as bedrooms, offices or separate suite whilst the annex is eminently suitable for a dependant relative etc., staff or guests with its own front door and with access to the garaging and gardens.

Externally this property consists of electronically controlled gates and high shrubbery surrounding the boarders of the property for security and privacy. Approaching the property and garages is a block paved drive-way providing parking for several cars externally and the garages offering space for up to four cars. There are landscaped gardens on three sides of the property and features include a York stone terrace, a feature gazebo and to the rear of the property a large pond currently stocked with Koi Carp.

Merricourt is set in one of the most prestigious addresses in South Warrington and Windmill Lane is lined with some of the finest mature residences in this part of Cheshire. Originally chosen for homes by Lancashire industrialists high above their businesses in Warrington and beyond this part of Appleton has an exclusivity little known in any other parts of the county. Despite this the area is well served by the thriving and bustling centre of nearby Stockton Heath with its many restaurants, bars and good shopping facilities yet the house is right on the edge of fine, scenic countryside with many walks and access to two golf courses for example right on the doorstep. Major shopping can be accessed in half an hour’s drive in cities such as Chester, Liverpool, Manchester and country towns such as Knutsford, Altrincham etc. For both business and pleasure the motorway system can be accessed within a few minutes at junction 10 on the M56 bringing all the major north west centres and the airports at Liverpool and Manchester within easy reach. There are fast and regular train services to London with good stations in Runcorn and Warrington. Education served with excellent primary and secondary education locally and there is easy access and transport to The Grange at Hartford, Cransley at Budworth and the top schools in Altrincham and Manchester.
