  One of the main features to Oakwood Hall is the tower which measures approximately 60ft. There are spiral staircase facilities to the ground floor which lead to the basement whilst the study area in the property's first floor tower area also has potential to be converted to provide a second spiral staircase which would lead up to the property's observatory to the upper floors providing some outstanding views over the local area. Provisions to the upper areas have already been put in place with lighting and power, together with windows to three elevations.
  
• Basement

• Basement - General Information
  The beauty of the basement area is that a number of rooms have wonderful arched doorways, vaulted ceilings, wonderful wine rack to the hallway area and most importantly, there are a number of features that we feel are appropriate for the buyer. As previously mentioned, the ceilings to the basement are over 8ft in height, whilst above them there are concreted floors with windows to both front, side and rear elevations you would associate with general accommodation with a basement area. Prospective purchasers will be pleased to know that the whole of the basement area has been tanked.
  
• And Finally.......
  Finally to the basement, there is the granny flat or teenage suite or multi functional room. This part of the basement provides a three room area which would be ideal for the growing teenager or member of family still at home, or even the elderly relative due to access of the ground floor with the rear access. The room itself provides three areas as follows.
  
• Lounge Area 6.3m (20'7") x 4.9m (16'2")
  Which has bay window to front elevation, provisions for light and power and is then open plan into what would be a kitchen or dining area or games room/study area.
  
• Games Room/Study Area 4.7m (15'5") x 2.9m (9'6")
  With windows to rear and side rear elevation, provisions for light and power; the windows all having stone mullions, there is a small quaint internal hall area which would lead to the bedroom.
  
• Bedroom 3.4m (11') x 5.8m (18'11")
  However, the property's services come into this room and therefore it would be appropriate that this area be boxed off with oak doors providing a maintenance area; the front of which could be the property's wardrobe facilities. There is ample room within this area for double bed. The room has window to rear elevation and provisions for light and power, together with access to the property's natural well.
  
• Services and Facilities
  The property has access to all of the service facilities gas, electric, water. The property has built in music facilities in every room together with Sky TV links and TV points. There are also a number of telephone points throughout.
  
• Security
  In relation to security, the property benefits from a fully installed alarm system at first fix stage, together with CCTV, whilst the whole of the property is first fix for fire regulations, fire alarms etc.
  
• Planning Permission
  For Leisure Suite. There is planning permission for a 6,000 sq ft leisure facility, which has provision for a small gym, swimming pool, sauna, wet room. Also part of the leisure suite is a four-car garage with potential for guest apartment or lounge area. This area alone is over 1,000 sq ft.
  
• Outside
  From Oakwood Hall's original days, there was a tennis court situated to the left hand side of the property, which is now utilised for parking if required. However, the tennis court could be reinstated at little cost. Next to the tennis court and adjoining the left hand side of the property, is a base for a large orangery with full planning consent, the position would enjoy the property's land and views.
  
• The Land
  The land generally covers 23 acres of a combination of flat and elevated land adjoining to the River Goyt. The views from the elevated areas from the property, overlook neighbouring greenbelt fields and have pleasant views over towards Mellor and Lyme Park.
  
• The Driveway
  The driveway to the property has an approximate 1,015 yard driveway fronted by stone columns and gate. With the gate having provision for electric gates when required. The driveway has mature trees lining the driveway area which links into a large in/out parking driveway area with parking to several elevations. The whole of the front of the property is surrounded by private and mature tree lined wooded areas. Although the property stands within its own 23 acres, it is roughly calculated that the property overlooks approximately a further 70 acres making 90 acres in total.
  
• To Complete The Property
  We have spent a great deal of time with the current owners calculating the cost of the finished property. Completion to the main house would depend entirely on the buyers' personal choice and specification. The vendor however would be happy to pass on all the professional contractors details who have worked on the property to date with regards to final fixings and finishes, new build 6,000 sq ft leisure suite, pool, 4-car garage with potential for a guest apartment above for which full planning consent has been granted by S.M.B.C.
  
• Note
  Whilst the property has been rebuilt, the owners have employed a tree care specialist to prune some of the numerous trees within the property's grounds. A quote from the tree specialist said that this was the best array of trees within the Stockport area with Woodbank Park being the second best.
