Ely Fold Cottage, Kettleshulme

A Grade II Listed stone cottage dating from the early 1600’s, Ely Fold Cottage offers delightful and characterful accommodation in a truly picturesque backwater setting within the sought-after village of Kettleshulme.

The property is set within the village Conservation Area, tucked away on a quiet unadopted lane, and enjoys the rare privilege of an elevated position with countryside views towards Windgather Rock. It has a lovely tiered garden, allocated parking, and a stone outbuilding which was The Old School House.

Inside, Ely Fold Cottage reveals an abundance of period character. The lounge is framed by exposed beams and anchored by a deep stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while the dining kitchen, complete with quarry tiled floor and traditional Aga, offers a timeless country atmosphere. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with pine floorboards and views to open fields, along with a separate bathroom with a white suite and shower over the bath.

Outside, a stone path leads to the garden, which rises in tiers behind the cottage, enclosed by dry-stone walls and backing onto open countryside. To the side, The Old School House outbuilding provides excellent storage or workshop space, with the convenience of an allocated parking bay.

Kettleshulme itself is a much-admired village, surrounded by rolling hills yet within easy reach of Whaley Bridge and the larger market town of Macclesfield – both of which provide excellent amenities including shops, schools, cafés, restaurants, and rail links to Manchester and London.

Warmed by gas central heating and offered for sale with no onward chain, Ely Fold Cottage presents a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Cheshire history in a peaceful and highly desirable village setting.
