A handsome Grade II listed cottage, recently extended and refurbished, offering almost 3,000 sq ft of versatile living close to the heart of Great Budworth. The house combines period features—leaded windows, exposed brick and timber detailing—with substantial modern living spaces: three reception rooms, a large 26ft kitchen, and a ground-floor bedroom and shower room. A detached two-storey annex provides a gym with shower and a wide first-floor office/sitting room, ideal for home working or independent guest accommodation.
The grounds are a major asset: gated cobbled driveway, plentiful off-street parking and beautifully landscaped gardens of just over one acre. Entertaining spaces include a distinctive breeze house with bar and a hot tub, formal and informal lawns, mature trees, greenhouse and useful outbuildings. The property sits within walking distance of Cransley School and village amenities, making it very practical for family life in a rural setting.
Buyers should note the practical limitations: listed status will restrict external and internal alterations and could complicate future changes. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, and the building’s solid-wall construction suggests limited insulation without further work. The EPC is rated E and council tax is described as quite expensive. Despite recent renovation, maintenance of a large period house and extensive grounds will be ongoing.
This is an attractive option for families or professionals seeking a character home with substantial flexible space, detached ancillary accommodation and generous, private gardens. For anyone needing modern energy efficiency or planning major structural changes, factor listed-building constraints and the building’s fuel type into the decision.
