Period charm and garden in Alvanley — great village location for families.
Detached character cottage dating from 1795
A beautifully proportioned detached cottage in the sought-after village of Alvanley, Peartree House blends period character with a layout suited to modern family life. Dating from 1795, the property retains rustic features — exposed beams, a brick fireplace and high beamed dining room — while offering generous living space including a living room, snug, spacious kitchen/diner and utility room.
Set on a decent plot with a good-sized rear garden and off-street driveway parking, the cottage sits within easy walking distance of village amenities: the church, pub, village school and bus stop. Local schools and a very affluent, low-crime area make this home attractive to families wanting village life and countryside tranquillity.
Practical realities are important: the house has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), double glazing of unknown age and an EPC rating of D. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working. There is one family bathroom serving three bedrooms. These factors mean some energy-efficiency and connectivity upgrades would be sensible and could add value.
For buyers who value period charm and space, this cottage offers immediate comfort with clear scope for sympathetic improvement — insulation, heating tuning, and internet upgrades — to future-proof the home. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the character, layout and garden space in person.
