A charming and meticulously presented country home with glorious approach and even more impressive setting with stunning distant views and standing within grounds of 1.26 acres or thereabouts.
High on the majority of buyer's lists of pre-requisites when it comes to the quintessential English country cottage is a peaceful location with impressive views. That enjoyed by this property almost fulfils the criteria ideally, but the tranquillity of the setting does get disturbed by the twitter of the birds in the adjoining woodland!
This is a little known corner of the area, and the peace, tranquillity and stunning views all belie the proximity of Macclesfield, Congleton and Leek and when one bears in mind that aligned with those attributes we have a property that has been presented to a remarkable standard and one that is set in extensive grounds, it becomes apparent that this is indeed a unique proposition.
The property is semi detached and constructed in local stone and provides three bedroomed accommodation with the benefit of double glazed windows and oil fired central heating. The house is approached via a small entrance hall with most attractive oak front door and this opens to a lovely sitting room with a traditional cast iron fireplace providing an imposing focal point. The 'L' shaped dining kitchen has a beautiful diamond pattern floor and four windows to two elevations. A recessed chimney breast and antique pine country cupboards with decorative wall units.
To the first floor, in addition to the previously mentioned three bedrooms are a long landing and a traditional bathroom which is well equipped and beautifully appointed. The main bedroom has an extensive range of specially commissioned antique pine wardrobes.
The property is approached via a beautiful cobbled driveway through double electric gates, onto a large gravelled yard leading to a stone and brick built shippon with an attached double garage incorporating electric doors. Planning permission was granted in 2002 for two holiday homes and therefore offers tremendous potential for conversion if chosen to do so (subject to planning permission)
The gardens are a particular feature with extensive lawned areas, natural stone flagged terrace and to the rear of the property, an area of rising hillside. There is also a lovely thatched Gazebo within the grounds together with two smaller outbuilding immediately to the rear of the house. The gardens and grounds extend to 1.26 acres or thereabouts.
