IF you are looking for a stepping stone up the property ladder then perhaps Stepping Lodge should be your next move.

Gaze and wonder about the modern and contemporary designs with basic shapes which spread throughout the property.

On the market with Savills in Knutsford for £2m, this is a great family home and Ravenhurst Drive is an exclusive cul-de-sac of fine modern houses in the Heaton district.

Stepping Lodge is a stunning house, located to the rear of and attached to Stepping House. The proximity to Stepping House means the properties would be perfect for an extended family wishing to live on the same site.

When you can drag yourself away from the amazing look outside the property you will be able to go into the entrance porch, which opens to a light and airy entrance hall and from there to the main ground floor rooms.

There are five reception rooms - a sitting room and large playroom, a family room/snug, a home office and even a cinema room to relax and enjoy a good film.

The cinema room has raised seating, mood lighting and a surround sound system

The kitchen houses a magnificent Siematic kitchen with extensive Corian work surfaces, integrated ovens, a steam oven and an induction hob.

There are some great tiled and stone floors, a cantilevered staircase with glass balustrade, wide windows and bi fold doors present accommodation at the cutting edge of interior design.

There are four bedrooms with en suite bath or shower rooms on the first floor.

The master bedroom suite has a dressing room and stunning bathroom as well a stunning roof terrace. Outside and across the courtyard is a two-storey detached garage building with a spacious gym.

You are getting two houses for the price of one as Stepping House is a fabulous detached home with an attractive contemporary design.

The ground floor rooms are spacious and particularly light and airy. The morning room and sitting room are at the rear of the house and have an interesting split level and a feature fireplace.

There are some French windows open from the sitting room onto a wide terrace. Also there is a large kitchen that is open plan to a family room creating a hub for the house.
