A very exceptional opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed Italianate-style “mini castle” has surfaced in Knutsford, Cheshire.
Originally constructed as a gatehouse in 1905, High Morland Lodge was designed by Richard Harding-Watt, an English designer. The two-bedroom property has been deliberately, compassionately, and artistically refurbished by its current owners, all while maintaining its rich history throughout.
The property is divided into three floors and is accessed by repurposed glass doors. Walking down the light-filled hallway, you will find a small dining space, a beautifully light-filled conservatory overlooking the courtyard garden, and a custom-fitted kitchen complete with a Danish log fire. As if that weren’t enough, there’s also a sophisticated sitting area featuring a Juliet balcony, an open fireplace, and beautiful French doors.
A guest bedroom with contemporary en suite amenities is available on the lower ground level, while a master bedroom featuring fitted wardrobes and a useful family bathroom are located on the first floor. Whatever your needs are for a property, this lovely house definitely fits the bill.
The courtyard garden is intended for daydreaming excursions away from the mundane. It truly does offer owners a peaceful place to rest, with room for a bistro set, outdoor sofa, or comfy egg chair. Even though there isn’t any grass, the patio slabs make it a very low-maintenance area that people of all ages may enjoy.
Located in the bustling market town of Knutsford, this miniature castle is well-served by a number of excellent schools, stores, eateries, a golf course, a swimming pool, and Tatton Park, owned by the National Trust, all of which are only a short stroll away.
Jamie Carter, a Savills property expert, describes the little castle as “a true one off with wonderful characterful accommodation throughout and incredibly impressive views.”
Savills is presently asking £925,000 for this home.
