Portland House, Portland Drive, Scholar Green, is now on the market — an “exquisite” three bedroom semi-detached period home, coming with a “substantial barn” that includes a garage, office, storerooms and workshop.
The house itself has a bespoke fitted kitchen, basement cinema room and a blend of period charm and modern luxury.
Offers are invited in excess of £645,000.
The property has been meticulously preserved and enhanced, presenting a home of character, spaciousness and unique amenities.
Visitors approach through a portico porch supported by pillars, leading to a timber-panelled door with stained glass and leaded upper lights.
The ground floor boasts two bay-fronted reception rooms: an 18’8” lounge with a cast-iron open coal fireplace, period-style radiators and oak herringbone flooring; and an 18’9” dining room with half-height panelling and a cast-iron wood-burning stove set within a stone fireplace.
The kitchen is a custom-painted bespoke space featuring wood-grain units, quartz preparation surfaces, space for an American-style fridge freezer, a gas-fired Aga range cooker, integrated dishwasher and wine chiller. The oak-effect flooring adds a touch of rustic elegance.
In the basement cinema room are exposed brick walls, subtle lighting and oak-effect flooring.
On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom is a sanctuary with two windows, a polished cast-iron working open coal fireplace and period-style radiators.
The luxurious bathroom features a freestanding bath with antique pillar taps, an oak dresser with a ceramic wash-hand basin and an antique polished centrally heated towel radiator.
Portland House sits within meticulously designed grounds. The main side garden boasts a spacious terrace ideal for al fresco dining and BBQing, overlooking lawns and specimen trees.
A raised timber-decked terrace with a pergola offers a secluded dining area. Further exploration reveals exposed feature brick walls with subtle lighting, a productive vegetable garden and fruit trees, all set against the backdrop of the Macclesfield Canal.
At the front are established flower borders and a lower section of lawns. An extensive concrete driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles.
The barn is a substantial outbuilding offering potential and versatile spaces: Its first floor section includes a 20′ garage with an electrically operated roller-shutter door, power and light. A corridor leads to a dedicated 9’8” office with low-voltage downlighters and a 5’10” storeroom. A large 17’7” workshop with power and light completes this level.
The ground floor features multiple storage areas, car pit and log store.
