Comment from Oliver Weston of Gascoigne Halman
I am delighted to bring to market this eye catching cottage for the first time in over 50 years. The home offers amazing potential for either renovation of the current structure, capitalising on some of the gorgeous period features present, or subject to planning permission further development and extension depending on people’s preference.
The cottage itself comes to 1,211 square feet and enjoys a kitchen and dining area which connects through to the living room and uses a stunning double sided stone built fireplace as a partition. The beams add to the character of this space for a true cottage feel. The ground floor also offers a central hall with cloakroom toilet, a utility room and a store. The first floor houses the two bedrooms, both of comfortable double size and served by the main family bathroom. The principal bedroom is of particular note being a generous size and coming to just over 25 square meters.
Externally the property really impresses with a substantial plot of 0.36 acres and begins with an attractive arrival thanks to the mature front garden. The plot benefits from strong levels of privacy and offers a variety of uses. The gravel drive opens up to provide ample parking space in addition to the detached double garage which has in recent years been insulated and had new up and over doors installed by Everest. There is also a brick built outbuilding with store and toilet and further external store room and coal/wood store. The gardens are then split between the lawn area with mature beds, orchard with a variety of fruit trees and a bedding area in the back corner which has great potential for the keen gardeners out there who will also enjoy the greenhouse that is present.
Currently the home has mains electric, water and drainage connections but it should be noted there is mains gas available on the road to the front of the property should a new purchaser look to make a connection to this. In terms of location, the property sits along the main road between Chester to Manchester but over the road views of countryside towards the Beeston and Peckforton castles can be enjoyed.
A viewing is highly recommended to understand all on offer here and the potential the cottage holds so for a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
