This tucked-away 4-bedroom detached cottage blends genuine period character with usable modern space. The oldest part of the house dates back to the 16th century and has been lovingly restored, while a large two-storey annex offers flexible extra accommodation, office space and an adjoining open-fronted garage. The property sits at the head of a single-track driveway on a large plot with wrap-around gardens and decking — ideal for family outdoor life and countryside walks.
Inside, original features such as exposed beams and a feature fireplace give the principal reception rooms strong cottage character; an open-plan dining/kitchen provides an adaptable family hub for entertaining. The original section contains a first-floor bedroom with ensuite, with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom in the newer part. The house footprint and annex create scope for multi-generational living or home-working arrangements.
Practical points: the house is newly renovated and benefits from double glazing, fast broadband and oil-fired boiler with radiators. The large plot, garage parking and very low local crime rate add tangible lifestyle value. The location sits close to highly regarded schools and the amenities of Alderley Edge and Prestbury while retaining a part-rural, hamlet setting.
Notable drawbacks are presented plainly: the property has an EPC rating of C and uses oil heating (not a community supply), and some solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which could mean higher heating costs or future insulation work. Parts of the cottage have low ceiling heights under original beams; council tax is described as expensive. These practical factors should be weighed alongside the property's character and setting.
