Old Timbers Cottage is a rare Grade II listed 16th‑century home combining historic charm with family‑sized living. Set on a substantial plot, the house offers over 2,250 sq ft across four double bedrooms, four reception rooms and flexible living arranged over multiple levels — ideal for a growing or extended family. Two staircases and a converted garage room create an annex‑style layout useful for home working, guests or multi‑generational living.
The location is a major selling point: a four‑minute walk to Bramhall village and the train station puts shops, cafés and good schools within easy reach while the mature wraparound gardens provide a secluded outdoor retreat. Recent cosmetic works — new carpets, internal redecoration and new external fencing and gates — mean much of the property is move‑in ready.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building, which will restrict certain alterations and may complicate future renovation work. The cottage’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation and the council tax is described as quite expensive, both factors to consider for running costs. Despite these constraints, the home’s size, character features and convenient location deliver strong family lifestyle appeal.
Offered chain‑free with a part‑exchange option, Old Timbers Cottage is best suited to buyers who value period character and space, and who are comfortable managing the responsibilities that come with listed status. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, light and flexible layout in person.
