Chenies
Chelford Road, Prestbury, Cheshire
Independent reading
A substantially remodelled 2010 country house of about 7,000 sq ft, hidden behind a 200-metre gated drive with five bedrooms, an indoor pool complex and two acres near Prestbury.
At £4.25m, the attributed 7,000 sq ft gives about £607 per sq ft. This is a marketing-denominator calculation, not a valuation; signed component area, title, approvals, condition, operating costs and adjusted evidence decide the offer.

The 30-second view
Three things worth knowing.
Whether title, signed component area, approvals, warranties, pool-plant condition and actual operating records support the apparent £607 per attributed sq ft without hidden leisure-estate liabilities.
The private setting and remodelled finish are compelling but publisher-attributed. Component measurement, construction/remodelling records and the pool-services survey matter more than presentation quality.

Stuart Rushton & Co's current instruction and same-day inventory were rechecked on 3 November 2026: live at £4.25m with five bedrooms, four receptions, over 7,000 sq ft, approximately two acres and a Video walkthrough. The successful 2 November exact Vimeo 1230202274 identity evidence remained inside 24 hours, with no contrary broken, removed or mismatched evidence. The structured page reports five bathrooms while feature copy says four; that discrepancy must be reconciled. Official publisher film; playback not independently checked. The current original Stuart Rushton instruction embeds exact Vimeo player 1230202274, titled for Chenies, Chelford Road, Prestbury. Aveno links to the publisher-controlled record and copies no photograph, film frame or footage. Official publisher film; playback not independently checked.
