Denise White Estate Agents Comments

"The Curate's Egg" is a stunning period family home, steeped in history with abundance of character and charm, and positioned on the highly regarded Hollow Lane in the village of Cheddleton. Nestled between St Edwards Church and the hugely popular Black Lion Pub, with St Edwards First School just a short walk up the lane and the village shop and post office all within easy reach.

Believed to date back, in parts, to the 17th Century, and is thought to have been utilized over the years as a Butchers Shop, a Cobblers and Sewing Shop, the property has quite a story to tell!

Let me show you around; original stone steps to the front aspect lead you in to the property via a spacious Utility Room, which provides ample cloaks hanging space alongside a downstairs WC, and leads on to the Inner Hallway and Kitchen, which features a Rangemaster Stove, Open Fireplace and feature arched window overlooking the Courtyard. Through the Inner Hallway you will find yourself in a cosy Lounge, which benefits from an open fireplace and opens in to the Sitting Room. Beyond the Sitting Room you will find the Dining Room, which provides the perfect space for entertaining guests, with a fabulous original stone fireplace housing a cast iron inset with an open fire, and beautiful outlook over St Edwards Church to the front aspect.

The First Floor Accommodation consists of Three Bedrooms; Two Good Sized Doubles and a Generous Single, which sits alongside the Family Bathroom which features a Roll Top, Claw Foot Bath. Stairs lead from the Landing to the Second Floor which houses Bedroom One; another sizeable Double Bedroom.

The property also benefits from Two Cellar Rooms, one of which is accessed internally via stairs leading from the Sitting Room, and the other is accessed via a door to the front of the property and has recently been sandblasted to expose stunning brick arched ceilings and features original Butchers hooks!

Lets take a look outside! To the rear of the property there is a private walled courtyard; a fabulous little suntrap for those who enjoy to soak up the sunshine of the warmer months, and currently features a Hot Tub. To the front of the property there is an off road parking space for one vehicle and a small walled patio area which sits alongside Black Lane, overlooking the Church with the Black Lion Pub in its sights.

Positioned within some outstanding countryside, you will be spoilt for choice with Country Walks which lead along the canals and through fields and woodland, with some fabulous pubs and restaurants along the way.
