BATE HOUSE, THE PADDOCKS, WHITEGATE, CHESHIE, CW8 2DD

Extending to approximately 6600 sq ft - an absolutely stunning individual

architect designed villa with a range of features including quadruple garage,

snooker room, superb indoor swimming pool and full size tennis court - the

whole set in beautiful gardens and grounds extending to 1.46 acres

Bate House adjoins the paddocks of Sandy Lane at Whitegate and is one of just two individual sites which were

sold independently and thereafter individually designed and built. The present owner lavished considerable

time and capital expenditure in optimising the design both internally and externally and this spectacular

accommodation is set in 1.46 acres of beautiful gardens and grounds.

The accommodation is utterly outstanding not least due to its size which including the garden extends to

approximately 6600 sq ft. Use of the floor plan within this brochure and of course an internal viewing are truly

needed to understand the scope and breadth of the accommodation but due to both the sheer number and

size of the rooms the accommodation can easily be adapted to suit individual requirements and circumstances.

Bate House, The Paddocks. Whitegate, Northwich, CW8 2DD

There has also been a fine attention to detail

throughout with superb choices of flooring, bespoke

kitchen and high quality antique fireplaces. These

high grade features are blended with superb leisure

facilities that include an indoor swimming pool and a

full sized tennis court and a large snooker room that

is located over the quaduple garage.

Having accessed the property via a useful entrance

vestibule, the accommodation opens with a

remarkable reception hall that measures 31'5" x 19'5".

This large, welcoming and open space perfectly leads

to the remaining accommodation. To the left of the

principal reception hall is a bespoke breakfast

kitchen which was custom built with Smallbone of

Devizes units. The kitchen has ample space for table

and chairs and is conveniently located adjacent to a

very spacious dining room. Also to the left of the

principal reception hall is a range of accommodation

that includes the master bedroom, complete with

dressing room and en suite, separate study, large

of the reception hall and comprises a large drawing

room with feature fireplace, three further bedrooms,

one of which has an en suite facility and the other two
