The Accommodation

The architect, Tony Jones, designed the property along with other unique homes throughout Knutsford and the build was finished with quality and care which is still evident today. The vendor acquired Squirrels Leap some 40 years ago and has continued to maintain the property to a superb standard adding a superb conservatory to the rear, although some modernisation could be carried out if desired.
