4 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Great Budworth, Northwich CW9

September Cottage is a most charming detached period house located in the beautiful village of Great Budworth. The property is set back from the High Street via a charming cobbled road, and sits in a generous and mature plot with the benefit of excellent secure parking, well established cottage gardens and a superb detached self contained annexe.

Interior Layout

The house provides well-balanced accommodation across two floors, maintained in excellent condition throughout with décor and finishes that compliment the cottage's period character. A spacious reception hallway with stone-effect tiling leads to the main living areas, which include a comfortable sitting room with a feature fireplace, and multipaned glazed doors that open out onto a sunny rear facing terrace.

The principal reception space comprises an open-plan kitchen area with stone-effect tiled flooring, dual aspect windows, and doors to the garden. The spacious room comfortably houses both living and dining furniture, while the cast iron multi-fuel stove serves as both a heating source and focal point for what would be the natural heart of this wonderful home.

The kitchen is fitted with hand-painted units and black granite worktops, incorporating a freestanding island and large range cooker with an induction hob. Adjacent to the kitchen, a useful utility room is fitted with similar cabinetry with space for an American-style refrigerator, tumble dryer, and washing machine. A stable door from the utility room provides direct garden access.

Two bathrooms serve the property. The ground floor bathroom is fitted with white sanitary ware and includes a fully tiled shower enclosure with a thermostatic mixer shower. The first-floor bathroom features a period-style three-piece suite with a freestanding roll-top bath and is enhanced with painted part panelled walls.

Three bedrooms are located on the first floor, all of good proportions with fitted furniture and pleasant views over the gardens extending toward farmland beyond. There is potential to extend the first floor further over the rear single story extension, although appropriate permission would need to be sought.

Gardens and Outbuildings

The property's grounds are predominantly positioned to the rear, accessed via the cobbled lane through double gates opening onto a granite-set driveway. A stone-flagged terrace adjoins the house, enclosed by mature shrub beds and featuring a water feature and fish pond.

The detached brick outbuilding has been converted from its original garage use into a self-contained studio apartment with kitchenette and ensuite shower room. The space accommodates bedroom and living room furniture, with three-sided windows providing good natural light and French doors opening to a small raised patio.

The rear lawn gardens are generous in size and enclosed by mature hedging on all sides. The gardens benefit from pleasant elevated aspects toward the rear boundary, with established shrub beds and borders providing structure and seasonal interest throughout the grounds.
