Description

Elds Gorse is a historic and ornate period house located in the picturesque hamlet of Willoughbridge, set within 4.84 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds. The house is believed to have been designed by Swiss architects and boasts several high gables, large windows, and balconies. The central hallway features coats of arms of the 26 Cantons of Switzerland, a rare historical feature, and the house still retains many period features such as high ceilings, deep skirting, and original doors. The house requires modernization and upgrading but offers the opportunity to create a highly desirable home. The property has a covered portico entrance, a spacious sitting room with wood burning stove, a bright drawing room with dual aspect views and a wood burning stove, and a kitchen with a range of wall and floor cabinetry and an AGA. There are also several bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with dressing room and access to a first-floor balcony, and a guest bedroom with en suite. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and feature several lawned areas, herbaceous beds, and specimen trees, as well as a kitchen garden and an orchard. The property is well located for access to the regional road network, with junction 15 of the M6 being 7.5 miles away, and offers easy access to schools, shops, and amenities in the nearby villages of Pipe Gate and Woore.
