Queen Street lies just a stones throw to the west of Bollington village centre - a peaceful and leafy backwater surprisingly, certainly when considering the convenience of being only a stones-throw of all the fabulous amenities the village has to offer.

Palmerston Street along with High Street, offer a diverse range of artisan eateries, bars, shops, and other amenities, and although Bollington provides a broader offering too, this particular location is considered to be the heart of the village. Queen Street is a residential area, lined with a diverse style of housing, ranging from traditional period cottages, to architecturally designed modern homes constructed in a sympathetic style to preserve the nature of the landscape that makes the village such a popular location to live and visit. Queen Street wraps around Pool Bank car park, which we are advised by the vendor, provides free parking for residents and visitors to the village centre. For those keen on outdoor pursuits, Bollington Recreation Ground, the fabulous Middlewood Way, White Nancy and the towpaths of the Macclesfield Canal, are all within easy walking distance - ideal for walkers, joggers, children and dog walking duties.

So, with a brief overview of this great location covered, we will now move onto a description of number 16 Queen Street, a simply stunning Grade 2 listed cottage of traditional Peak stone elevations, surmounted by a pitched stone flagged roof.

The two, and partly three-storey accommodation is impeccably presented throughout. The current vendor having owned the property for the past three decades, has invested immense love and investment into making this the home it is today. With passion and a deep knowledge and understanding of period design and furniture styles, the cottage has been the subject of a most sympathetic renovation, careful to retain and reproduce wherever required, as much of the original character and charm, as possible. It must be mentioned that our vendor clients are truly heartbroken to be selling, however, a personal change in circumstance has resulted in this most reluctant decision.

Exposed oak beams, stone flagged floors, wrought iron thumb/latch and hinged tongue and groove doors, a magnificent oak mantle fireplace complete with a cast iron woodburner, along with bespoke crafted plantation shutters, are just some of the fabulous features that combine to make this such a dreamy, cosy, and totally individual abode.

The accommodation has been extended in the past by utilising an adjoining outbuilding, as well as constructing a wonderful sunroom that can be utilised all year round. The cottage is most deceptive from first glance. The living space to the ground floor now boasting three separate reception areas - a very cosy living room, a separate sitting room, as well as the afore-mentioned sunroom.

Upon entering the property via the cottage's period style front door; one is welcomed by a beautifully presented reception hallway, which separates and insulates the adjoining ground floor accommodation from the outside elements. The hallway also provides access to the first floor by means of a traditionally spindled baluster staircase. The first of many bespoke crafted tongue and grove, wrought iron latch doors, opens from the hallway - this particular doorway impressively features double doors which open to reveal the simply stunning main reception room. Exposed oak ceiling beams, a lovely mullion framed window and stable door provide super views over the gardens, whilst a feature oak mantle and stone hearth recessed fireplace, incorporates a wrought iron woodburner - perfect in those colder months to snuggle up to. A deep doorway connects the adjoining snug - this is a perfect location to perhaps work or simply utilise as a quiet reading space. The snug connects to both the sunroom, as well as the wonderfully crafted kitchen.

The sunroom is a bespoke-crafted extension to the rear elevation of the cottage. Centrally heated and built on a dwarf stone wall foundation to replicate the external elevations, the main structure is of full-height double glazed window and roof panels, designed to maximise natural light to not only this area, but also to the main accommodation. Bespoke crafted plantation shutters have been lovingly installed to not just each window, but also to the French doors which open to provide direct access to the lovely cottage-style garden. The rear elevation wall to the sunroom retains the original exposed stone to magnificent effect, whilst the flooring is sympathetically laid with aged stone flags. This is an all-year-round living space that offers great space, and can be utilised as one wishes.

The kitchen is simply a dream. Originally utilised as an outbuilding and now forming a rather quirky curved galley-designed kitchen, the space is actually pretty impressive and features a comprehensive range of shaker-style cabinets finished in a very fitting, Farrow and Ball 'Mizzle' green. Period steel handles and granite-style worktops really compliment this fabulous culinary space. A range of quality branded integrated cooking appliances also feature.

Returning to the reception hallway, the aforementioned staircase rises to the first floor landing, to provide access to a gorgeous master bedroom with exposed oak ceiling beams and views over the pretty gardens, Harrop Brook, and a lovely leafy backdrop. A second bedroom also features exposed ceiling beams, a deep shelved storage cupboard & wardrobe, as well as affording a lovely view over the cobble-stone-laid Queen Street and leafy backdrop. Finally to complete the main accommodation, a spacious bath and shower room features a separate bath and shower cubicle, as well as a wonderful antique carved pine dresser incorporating a porcelain wash basin. The vendor has advised that the bathroom was newly installed in 2024.

Accessed via the sunroom and lounge, the pretty landscaped cottage garden features a slightly elevated stone flagged terrace which runs the full length of the property. The terrace provides ample space for entertaining family and friends, as well as offering a perfect retreat to simply relax. The garden enjoys a lovely green backdrop to the far rear. There also features a lawn laid garden with deep flower bed border boundaries. A stone pathway leads from the terrace to a gate which opens to a small bridge which spans the babbling Harrop Brook some distance below. A dwarf stone wall to one side of the gate is surmounted by a wrought iron fence, whilst to the other side, sectional timber and concrete base and posts feature. The bridge crosses Harrop Brook to a bank on the opposite side, which we are informed by the vendors they lease from the council, and have done so for many years . We are advised this land is leased to our clients via an annual licence which we are informed amounts to £40.00 per year. We would strongly advise interested parties to make enquiries as to whether this may be transferrable and/or extendable.

From the far side of the larger terrace area, a flight of stone steps descends to a basement cellar which is served by power and light and currently serves as a laundry room, although it should be mentioned that the kitchen does provide for a washing machine and dishwasher. A useful stone outside store is also provided.

The property is warmed by a full gas combination heating system which also serves the hot water supply, whilst the windows are all double glazed to aid energy efficiency. A burglar alarm system is installed.

We are advised that although the garage is owned by our vendor clients, the land upon which is stands is leased and belongs to the council.
