The 'fairytale castle' in Alderley Edge with its own swimming pool and cinema

If you fancy living a fairytale lifestyle then look no further. This magical property in Alderley Edge is up sale, but you'll need a few million quid spare.

And you'll also have to move fast as the home on Beechfield Road is attracting a number of potential buyers. The unique six-bedroom property, known as Knight’s Keep, has previously been referred to as a 'fairytale castle'. It was on the market a year ago but a deal fell through.

Since then tenants have occupied it but is now up for sale again for £3.2m. The property has two towers to give it the real castle look with the accommodation set over three floors. It was individually designed by the nationally recognised architect Rod Hackney.

A spokesman for estate agency Jordan Fishwick from Wilmslow said: "It’s just gone back on the market. We have had a fair few people viewing it - if you want to live in a castle you’ll have to hurry up." Knight's Keep sits on top of an elevated plot to give it that real 'castle' feel.

In fact it even used to have a moat, but that is now gone and been replaced with a swimming pool. The property is perfect for car fans as not only can people park several vehicles in the underground parking garage, but there is also ample cobbled guest parking spaces that flank both sides of the driveway.

It also has a cinema room which forms part of one tower, a spa room with a steam room, and a relaxation room, complete with a television point and 'luxury' Jacuzzi type spa. On the Rightmove website, it says: "The layout is suitable for a professional couple or family, with the main entertaining rooms radiating off the entrance hall.

"The pool complex is 50 feet by 30 feet and has a Bang & Olufsen surround sound system. The pool has a non-slip base and non-slip surrounding flooring, and a self-cleaning ceiling. There are two sets of double doors to the outside."

If the potential buyers have children who tire of living in a castle, there is also a summerhouse and kids' play area with walkways to either side of the house. The property is located behind private gates in a large garden with its own CCTV security system.
