This detached granite cottage sits quietly in Cound Moor with large, mature gardens and strong privacy — ideal for buyers seeking a rural retreat. The principal house retains period character, multi-fuel stove, and flexible reception rooms that flow to the garden, while a separate two‑storey converted outbuilding offers self‑contained guest accommodation, home office or rental potential.
The accommodation is practical and comfortable: two double bedrooms upstairs, family bathroom, kitchen with Rayburn and utility/WC downstairs, plus a snug and formal sitting/dining rooms. Oil‑fired central heating and double glazing are in place, but some elements (private drainage and services) are untested and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should allow for running and improvement costs.
Externally the plot is a key asset — expansive lawns, mature borders, fruit trees, gazebo with BBQ area, vegetable garden and greenhouse. Vehicular access, private driveway and a detached sectional garage add everyday convenience. The converted outbuilding provides immediate ancillary use or scope to optimise income or long‑term annexe use.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold, in council tax band G and uses oil heating (not connected to a community supply), which may mean higher running costs. The cottage, built before 1900, offers scope for sympathetic updating rather than a turnkey modern finish; buyers seeking contemporary efficiency should budget for improvements such as wall insulation and service checks. Overall this is a characterful rural home with strong garden space and flexible outbuilding potential.
