Property Description:


Constructed in the 1940s as a single storey dwelling, Garden Cottage continued to evolve over the next thirty years until the current family moved there in the late 1970s.


A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial and versatile detached home, Garden Cottage offers extensive and flexible accommodation of approximately 238 sq m (2,562 sqft) on a generous, mature plot stretching to just over four-fifths of an acre (3,366 sq m) in a pretty part of the highly sought-after village of Davenham, Cheshire.


Whilst a comprehensive programme of modernisation would be recommended going forward, the house presents and functions extremely well, but with the possibility of some updating as required in the short term. It offers potential ideal for multi-generational living or even further configuration.


Ground Floor:


Reception hall, lounge, dining room, inner hall, morning room, kitchen, sitting room, breakfast and utility rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.


First Floor:


Principal suite with bedroom, 5th bedroom/dressing room and en-suite bathroom.


Externally, a gravel drive accessed from Church Street leads to the property providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The large gardens comprise lawns, shrub beds, paved terraces and mature trees, a number of which are protected by Tree Preservation Orders.

A detached double garage with mains power sits within the plot and has Stage 1 Planning in Principle consent for a separate self-build two storey residential dwelling house offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three reception rooms and integral single garage. Further details available on request via the agents and the Cheshire West & Chester Planning Portal.
