Characterful two-bedroom village cottage with parking and garden, chain free.
Grade II listed Tudor cottage, circa 1605, rich original timber features
Churchside Cottage is a compact Grade II listed Tudor cottage dating from circa 1605, tucked beside St Margaret’s Church in Wrenbury. The house blends original timber framing, exposed beams and a vaulted living room with a contemporary glazed dining/garden room and recent redecoration — a characterful base for village living. Off-street parking for several vehicles, a generous forecourt and lawned gardens make the plot unusually practical for a period property.
The layout suits a couple or those downsizing who prioritise charm over large rooms: a spacious vaulted living/dining room with a Clearview wood-burning stove, ground-floor master with ensuite and a spiral staircase up to a vaulted second bedroom. The conservatory-style dining room floods the rear with light and creates a useful link to the courtyard and main garden.
Important practical points are straightforward and factual. As a Grade II listed building, alterations will be restricted and consent may be required for external or structural changes. The property uses Economy 7 storage heaters and has an EPC exemption; buyers should consider heating costs and seek independent checks of services and wiring. Room sizes are generally modest and the spiral staircase is steep — not ideal for limited mobility.
Overall this is a distinctly individual cottage for buyers who value history, village setting and parking convenience, and who accept listed-building responsibilities. The house is chain free and ready to view, offering genuine character with scope for sensitive updating subject to listed-building rules.
