Summary - Dig Lane Farm, Dig Lane, Acton CW5 8PB
5 bed 3 bath Cottage
Spacious 5-bed cottage on 1.5 acres with paddock — scope to modernise and extend.
About 1.50 acres of gardens and paddock, adjoining Dorfold Estate land
Dig Lane Cottage is a substantial mid-19th century detached country cottage set in about 1.50 acres, with mature gardens, paddock and sweeping gravel drive. The house retains period character: exposed beams, brick fireplaces and a generous sitting/dining hall that enjoys open rural views. The plot and position — adjoining Dorfold Estate land and just 1.5 miles from Nantwich — are the standout features for families seeking space and countryside access.
The house extends to approximately 2,700 sq ft including the attached double garage and offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two principal reception rooms, kitchen, study and useful utility. There is clear scope to modernise, reconfigure or extend (subject to planning) to create a more contemporary family layout while keeping character features. The large plot, paddock and visual privacy create strong potential for those wanting outdoor space, equestrian or hobby-farm uses.
Buyers should be aware the property requires renovation and updating throughout. Heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators; parts of the glazing are secondary or uPVC but some walls are assumed to be solid brick with no installed cavity insulation. Drainage is to a septic tank and broadband speed is very slow — important considerations if you work from home. Council Tax is Band G and running costs may be higher than modern homes.
This is an appealing long-term family purchase or a renovation project for a buyer wanting an individual country cottage with substantial grounds and obvious scope to add value. Its remoter, rural setting suits anyone prioritising privacy and outdoor space over immediate urban convenience.
