Modernised and extended 1930s Arts and Crafts country house

Hill House
Whitebarn Road, Alderley Edge, Cheshire
Independent reading
A sensitively renovated 1930s Arts and Crafts house of about 5,752 sq ft, set behind gates in approximately 3.7 acres with six reception rooms, formal gardens and a double garage with gym.
At the £4m threshold the headline 5,752 sq ft denominator gives about £695 per sq ft; the official film states 5,732 sq ft net internal area, or about £698 per sq ft. That 20 sq ft difference is disclosed rather than silently normalised. Title restrictions, signed measurement, approvals, condition, energy performance and actual estate costs decide the offer.

The 30-second view
Three things worth knowing.
Whether the title restrictions, signed area, approvals and actual condition and running records support the premium without hidden estate obligations.
The marketed 5,752 sq ft and film’s 5,732 sq ft NIA are close but not identical; neither is independently measured.

- Check planning, Building Control, completion certificates and warranties for the extensions, garden room, cellar and systems work.
- Commission building, drainage, tree and services surveys; obtain the direct EPC and three years of utilities, grounds, insurance and maintenance records.
- Ask the buyer’s valuer for condition-adjusted completed-sale evidence rather than treating the asking-density calculation as a valuation.
Still unknown
- Official title/UPRN, restrictions and exact boundaries.
- Signed floor-area reconciliation and component allocation.
- Planning/completion documents, direct EPC and current council-tax record.
