Wye Head Cottage is a character-packed detached stone cottage on Macclesfield Road, offering period charm with many modern comforts. The ground floor flows from a porch into a dual-aspect living room with engineered oak flooring and a multi‑fuel stove, through to a dining room and a bespoke kitchen with integrated appliances and skylights. Outside, a thoughtfully landscaped rear garden backs onto a tree belt for privacy, and a block‑paved driveway provides ample off‑street parking.
Internally the house suits buyers wanting character rather than open-plan space: reclaimed timber details, stone features and low ceilings create a cosy atmosphere. The first floor hosts two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a contemporary bathroom with a roll‑top bath and separate double shower. Practical extras include a cellar ideal for storage or wine, uPVC double glazing (fitted post‑2002) and gas central heating throughout.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is a traditional stone build (pre‑1900) and the original walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may affect running costs and could require improvement. The footprint is cottage‑scale at about 992 sq ft with smaller room proportions and a single bathroom—suitable for small families or couples rather than those needing large, modern living spaces.
In summary, this home offers a blend of period character, strong privacy and good local connectivity (fast broadband, excellent mobile signal) in a prospering countryside setting. It will appeal to purchasers seeking a ready-to-live-in, character cottage with potential to upgrade insulation and internal layouts to suit longer‑term needs.
